Thoughts from the Chatsworth Primary Hallway



Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year.  On behalf of the Primary School community, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the new families who have joined the Chatsworth community, as well as the returning families.  The Primary School staff have been working hard since their return to school at the beginning of August to ensure a smooth start for our students. Teachers have arranged their classrooms, met in teams to plan the first unit of inquiry as well as spending a couple of day in teacher training to get ready for our first day at school yesterday., and what an exciting day it was!  So many students with smiles on their faces as they reunite with their friends, and even bigger smiles when they moved into their new classrooms.  What a beautiful Chatsworth Community we have!


We have an exciting year planned for the 2016-2017 school year.  Parent Cafés are organised to help parents understand the IB PYP, how it is delivered here at Chatsworth and see it in action while visiting the classrooms.  Once finalised we shall send you the link to mark in your diaries.  Special events celebrating the diversity of our host country of Singapore planned and the dates locked in on the school calendar. Orientation evenings scheduled for the week after next will give you the opportunity to meet the teacher, see the classroom and get down to some nitty-gritty information of your child's school year.  Our weekly blog from the Primary Office will remind you of key dates each week so please spend a few minutes each week on our page.


The partnership between parents-teachers-students is vital to your child's success.  We believe in an open door policy and open and transparent communication.  Please do not hesitate to meet your child's teachers if you have any questions or queries, as well as contacting me for further clarification. Our doors are always open.
