Attendance and Punctuality
- Students are to report punctually for school and be on time for all school
- activities. They are to remain in school until dismissal for safety and security
- reasons. (Students who are not at the reporting venue at 7.30am for the flag-
raising ceremony are considered late.)
- Students are not allowed to leave the school grounds during school hours,
including recess, without permission. They are to seek permission from their teachers if they need to leave the school during curriculum time. They should be accompanied by an adult when they take their leave after permission has been granted.
- In accordance to the Compulsory Education Act, all students are expected to
attend school regularly to attain common core knowledge that will provide a firm foundation for further education and common school experiences that will help build national identity and encourage social cohesion. As such, the school takes a serious view of a student’s absences without valid reasons.

certificate to validate her absence from school on that day. All documents to validate a student’s absence from school must be submitted to the Form Teacher immediately, once the student returns to school.
- Students are expected to complete each school term. Any request for
students to return to their home countries before the end of the school term or for holiday tours during the school term does not constitute a valid reason.

Recipient of the Lee Kuan Yew Award for All-Round Excellence (ARE) 2020
The LKY-ARE is a national-level award for achievement in
- education. It recognises well-rounded students who have
excelled in both academic and non-academic spheres, and who exemplify the qualities articulated in our desired
- utcomes of education.
Lee Kuan Yew Award for All ll-Round Excellence (L (LKY-ARE)
“In school, the principals and teachers always acted as a pillar of support for us. When we stumbled, you supported us and gave us the motivation to persevere. When we erred, you would forgive us and tell us to learn from it. It is because of the unconditional support I received from the teachers that I managed to grow to become a better person. I believe that without the school’s care and guidance, I would not have received this award.” Vanessa Goh

TR TRANSITING ANSITING TO PR PRIMA IMARY Y 1
- A smooth transition is made when your child:
- feels safe and comfortable in their new environment
- is able to manage the daily challenges of school life
52
- Parents often feel that literacy and numeracy are the most important
foundation skills for primary school. However, studies have shown that academic preparation alone does not guarantee a smooth transition for children.
- Over-preparation in academic areas is at the expense of adequate
preparation in other areas such as socio-emotional learning and motor skills.
- Research
also shows that socio-emotional competencies are important to help students to better cope with transitions and progress through school. (Margetts, 2014)

54
- Work with the school to know and
support your child
Have regular conversations with teachers in both academic and non-academic areas. Check with the teachers about their preferred mode of communication. They are not required to share their mobile numbers. Understand that teachers may not be able to respond to queries immediately. Do give them three working days to respond to you.
55
- Help your child relate to others
Work with the teachers to help your child respect differences and resolve disagreements amicably. Give the school some time to verify the facts first in any incident before we will take action to ensure a fair, objective outcome for all parties.
56
- Help your child develop good
habits
Create a conducive home environment for your child to enjoy reading and finish his/her homework by himself/herself. Encourage your child to live healthily with sufficient time for sleep and play.
