Setting the Routine Early

In order to help your child/ward accustom to the school

operations as soon as possible, we appreciate if parents

• Set the routine from Day 1 regarding dismissal

arrangements (bus/gate)

• Please refrain from entering the school from

the second day. Teachers will be stationed at

Gate 5 and the bus bay to lead your child/ward to

the hall.

Parents picking up your child at

Gate 5, please fetch your children

between 6 pm and 6.30 pm.

A teacher will be with them at Gate 5 until

6.30 pm, after which they will be brought to the

General Office to wait for their parents.

Parents who are late in fetching their child (i.e., after

6.30 pm) will have to proceed to the General Office

to pick up their child. You would need to park at

Gate 5 if you are driving.

No “home delivery”

We hope to instill responsibility in your child – work

with them to get their things ready for school

Please refrain from providing “home delivery” for

your child when he/she informs you of missing

item(s).

Let them approach their teacher(s) or general office

staff for help.

Curriculum time will be

strictly adhered to.

Should your child need to leave early for

urgent matters, kindly proceed to the

General Office. In the interests of safety,

parent/guardian are required to sign

him/her out before picking him/her up from

the General Office.

Visitor Management System

The school continually seeks to ensure a safe and

secure environment for staff and students.

As such, a new visitor registration system has been

put in place to screen visitors coming into the

school premises.

All visitors including parents/guardians will need to

key their names and hand phone numbers onto a

tablet at Gate 4/5 where a One-Time Password

(OTP) number will be generated. A label will be

printed out as an identification.

Except for visitors who are heading to the

bookshop, all other visitors are to proceed to the

General Office (GO) thereafter. Before leaving the

school, visitors will need to scan the label at Gate

4/5 to sign out.

Coming into School Premise

• If your child is unwell, please seek medical advice, obtain a medical certificate and allow him/her to rest at home (Absent with MC)

• For other reasons such as an urgent family matters (eg. compassionate leave), a letter from parent will suffice.

(Absent with Valid Reason)

• Parents are strongly encouraged not to take their child away on holiday during term time as learning is on-going even after nearing the end of the Term.

• Should there be a need to go away, a letter from parent will be necessary.

(Absent without a valid reason)

Recess

Benefits for students:

Students, particularly primary school students,

should be allowed to eat regularly so that they may

benefit in terms of their cognitive, physical and

socio-emotional development.

Rationale for Meal Break

Meal Break

Promote well-being of students:

Students, particularly those taking school

bus or public transport, may take time to

reach home and their meal time would be

delayed. Hence, providing a 2nd break could

ensure that students do not go hungry for an

extended period of time

Meal Break

Do prepare some dry finger food for your

child/ward in line with the Healthy Meal

Programme.

No sweet drinks and tidbits are allowed.

To promote well-being

of students, there will

be a 10 minute meal

break.

Meal Break

50

Meal BreakFood that can be

brought into

classroom

• Museli bar, dry cereal

without milk,

fresh/ dried fruit,

buns, bread, biscuits,

muffins, nuts, plain

water

No ice-cream,

chips, sweet drinks

• Parents may give children pocket money

to purchase snacks. However, students

will have to purchase before the meal

break (ie during recess or before school)

• No sharing of food is encouraged as

students may have allergy

Meal Break

The earlier your child is familiarised with his/her new

environment, the more positive he/she will feel about

going to school.

Get him/her excited about new experiences, such as

making new friends or learning new things.

Meal Break

MOE is providing the

Parent-Child Activity

Single Session / PERI Upgrading

We are working towards being a single session. We

want to ensure that our full suite of facilities can cater

to the whole student cohort when we transit to

operate in single-session.

As we move into the third phase of our PERI

upgrading into 2019, we would expect the

remaining field and basketball court to be

cordoned off for the construction work to be

carried out.

More information will be provided when school

reopens in 2019. We will continue to safeguard

the safety and security of our staff, students as

well as all other school users.
