(SPECS)
Date: Friday 1 February 2019 Time: 3.00pm – 5.00pm (After school

2. Title: Sand Animation (New Media Art)
Date: Week 2 – Week 8 Time: During school hours. New Media is a key
programme in the visual arts component within White Sands Primary
School. During this module, pupils will enhance their learning of
script writing and storyboard creation, building on their
experience from the previous year. This process then leads into the
creation of a piece of animation recorded live and edited into a
movie clip. This year, to commemorate the merger of White Sands
Primary School and Coral Primary School, the seven Primary 6
classes will each be working on clips related to the six core
values of the merged White Sands Primary School with the 7th clip
featuring the merger itself. These clips will then be combined into
a mini movie that would showcase every pupil’s contribution.
Cost: In-house programme. Fully subsidised by the School

5. Title: Parent-Teacher Conference
Date: Thursday 14 March 2019 Time: 8.00 am – 1.30pm (During school

their child’s learning and help him/her succeed. PTC presents a
great opportunity to share your child's strengths and needs. All
