DBSPTA-PD Newsletter 2018-19

Message from the Vice Chairperson
Being a DBSPD parent reminds me how it was like being a student here decades ago: there is no room for
complacency. Just when you think you are “getting the hang of it”, the bar is set higher. If not for the wisdom of many
of my classmates and “big brothers”, my DBS experience would have been very different. Similarly, if not for the
helping hands of so many parents, my wife and I would not have survived the first two years. In both cases, strong
bonds were formed; bonds that would last a lifetime.
Indeed, one of the main goals of the PTA is to foster and facilitate bonding between parents. As you can see from
this newsletter, the PTA organizes a rich program of activities each year intended to bring us all closer together and
to help families get more out of the DBSPD experience. We treasure your participation and we thank you for your
support throughout the year.
None of our initiatives would have been possible without the active support from the School Faculty. We are most
grateful to Ms. Lo, Ms. Ng and all the teachers who have been involved in the PTA in the past year. Thank you for
your invaluable support and guidance. You have made a real difference in our work and it has been a true pleasure
working with you all!
