Break

Hey choir, Do take these few weeks to really study hard for your exams. They are just around 4 to 5 weeks away. After the exams, be prepared to stay back for intensive choir practices. Furthermore, please refrain from going overseas for holiday until the last 2 weeks of December, or clogging up your holidays with activities as there will still be practices during school holidays. Realised that after the exams there would be no time to mug? Haha so make full use of your time now and go study. SLs will call you before the start of the next practice, so please do not call any of the SLs nor the committee. Rest assured that you will be informed. Good luck for your exams.
