School Magazine – Mini Steps 2021

I write to enlist your support for the annual edition of our school magazine, the Mini Steps. It will be published at the end of each school year in July. It is a compilation of our school’s events and activities and it contains all valuable information, records and photographs of the year’s activities, both inside and outside the school.

In addition, parents will also receive a complimentary copy of the Secondary Division’s Steps magazine when purchasing the Mini Steps magazine, if so wish. It is our sincere hope that each student will have a set of these magazines.

Yours faithfully,

Ms. Phyllis Lo
