Housekeeping School Bag • advise your child to pack according to the timetable • check that only relevant materials are brought Guidelines for Birthday Celebrations • school does not allow the distribution of food and beverages, cakes included • school discourages distribution of goodie bags
Parents taking their children out of school during term time/curricular hours Parents/Guardians are urged not to take your child/children out during school days or curricular hours for private matters such as attendance of weddings. This is, as compared to the case of a child who is out of school due to illness for which a valid medical certificate should be submitted to the Form Teachers for recording purpose. Taking your child/children out of school during term time or curricular hours disrupts learning and may result in your child/children having difficulty following up with lesson proper when he/she/they return(s) to school. Inculcate the right mind-set in our children from young that it is important to attend every school day. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
For Teachers/AEDs who have shared their handphone numbers with Parents and Guardians, please note that they will only be responding the next working day to text messages received between 6p.m. and 7.30a.m. on weekdays and whole day on weekends and school/public holidays. The same applies for email messages received after office hours.
