A Warm Welcome to Chongzheng Primary School Primary 1 Orientation 21 November 2016
Our Guiding The Starfish Story Principle As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a boy ahead of him, picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. EVERY CHILD Finally catching up with the boy, MATTERS he asked why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. “But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish,” said the old man. “How can your effort make any difference?” The boy looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it safely in the waves. EVERY STAFF “It makes a difference to this one,” he said. MATTERS

MEDICAL SCREENING • The doctor will do a body check up. • Sometimes medical conditions in the student may not have symptoms. • Problems such as mild heart defects, slow growth rates, and other developmental problems may have no symptoms and so they may not be noticed. It is important that these problems are detected and treated early. • For the Primary 1 boys, testicles which can be abnormally positioned are checked by doctors. • For the Primary 5 children, pubertal assessment is done by doctors.
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT • Height and Weight of the students are measured. • Through this, we can monitor the physical growth and normal development of students.
VISION SCREENING • Eye test are done to check for common eye conditions like short- sightedness (myopia). • Good vision is very important for a child who is learning and growing. • Visual problems should therefore be corrected early.
AUDIOMETRY SCREENING • School Health Team performs hearing test for primary 1 students and students new to MOE school system. • Our teams make use of a portable equipment to test if a child can hear sounds within a normal range of hearing. • Some children who have difficulties with schoolwork may actually have hearing problems that affect their studies. • If these hearing problems are detected and treated early, their learning abilities will improve.
