First Week of School

You Can Help! • Check your child’s pupil handbook on a daily basis for messages or homework. ( Checking vs teaching independence) • In the handbook, have all particulars filled in ( parents’ contact number and guardian’s contact number and your child’s birth certificate number )

You Can Also Help to… • Label all books, stationeries eg: colour pencils, water bottles, shoes • Ensure that the nametag is ironed and stitched at the ends on your child’s uniform • Inform your child which gate you will be picking them from after school • Update his/ her C4RE teachers if there are any changes

School Bag Matters • Health Promotion Board guidelines - Pupils are to carry weight of no more than 15% of their body weight - Weight of bags carried by P1 to 4 should range from not more than 3.5kg to 4kg

You Can Help! - Select bags of lightweight material with few compartments, avoid box-typed school bags, trolley bags - Encourage children to carry personal items in a separate bag to distribute load - Be mindful of lunch bag, water bottle which are too bulky.

- Pack school materials according to the timetable - Check that only relevant materials are brought to school (e.g. Math Textbook A for Semester 1, not both)

Pupil Expectations • Check that your child is properly attired for school. ( Please refer to Pupil’s Handbook ) • School Uniform – prescribed uniform with no modification • Black Shoes ( Velcro ) /White Socks • Minimum Purchase: 2 sets of uniform & PE attire

• Hair - Boys: Hair should be short and neat (refer to Pupil Handbook) - Girls: Long hair must be tied up or clipped neatly with hairclips. (All hair accessories must be black or dark blue.)
