Movie Under The Star on 13 May 2016

Dear Parents,

Nanyang Primary School, together with Ulu Pandan Constituency Office, will be organising a Movie Screening in our school on Friday 13 May 2016. A movie truck will come into our school and park on the driveway directly opposite the Meeting Point. The movie truck has its own big movie screen and sound system. The audience will be seated inside the Meeting Point, where you and your family members can enjoy the movie - HOME.

This event will start from 6pm with fringe activities such as balloon sculptures and snacks for children like pop-corn, candy floss and ice creams. The movie will start when the sky is dark enough. Light dinner will also be provided. There is a small charge of $2 for the food and snacks. This event is also open to our residents.

As we have limited parking lots in our school, please be advised that parking within the school will be first-come-first-served.  Vehicles can only drive into the school for parking after 5.00pm via Gate A, along King's Road.  Once our parking lots are full, please park your vehicles in the car park near the vicinity of our school. Please do not park along the roads adjacent to our school as that would cause inconveniences to our residents and other motorists.

We hope to encourage those who are staying nearby to walk to the school and enjoy family bonding time with your children especially since it is after our school examination.

Tickets will be available for purchase from 9 May 2016, Monday. Your children can purchase the tickets from the KRC General Office during recess time or from 1.30pm to 2.30pm. Please purchase the tickets soon as we have limited tickets.

Thank you
