An Eventful Week

I've no jewelry photos to post today but wanted to share good news with you. My daughter did quite all right for her primary school leaving examination. Added to our joy was her acceptance into the dance program at the new School of the Arts (SOTA). This is the first pre-tertiary integrated academics and arts program in Singapore. Out of 1,000 applicants they have accepted 139 into music, visual arts, theatre and dance to join the historical first intake! School begins in January and they will follow the International Baccalaureate program which means the students do not take the usual O and A levels. It's a 6-year program and then on to university after they receive the diploma. Although it's reputed to be a rigorous course of study, we're excited about the new experiences and courses available.

The first two years will be foundational which means the students will all take music, art, theatre and visual arts as well as the academic subjects of English, Maths, Science, Literature, Humanities etc.

In the photo above, three other dancemates also made it to SOTA. A is the one at the end nearest to the camera. Thanks for sharing our joy! See you next week, hopefully with some photos.
