Preparing for Primary 1

School Hours

Drop Off and Dismissal

Drop Off

Parents/Guardians who walk their child/ward to school can accompany them up to the Gate A (beside security post) and Gate C respectively.

All drop-off vehicles are only allowed into the school compound until 7.30 a.m.

No right turn is allowed from 7.00 a.m. to 7.30 a.m. at the Vehicle Exit Gate to avoid traffic congestion along Woodlands Circle.

Children who arrive after 9.30 a.m. on Mondays and 7.30 a.m. from Tuesdays to Fridays are considered late and their punctuality will be reflected in their End-of-Year Report.

Dismissal 

Dismissal will be at 2.10 p.m. from Monday to Fridays at Gate C.

Please indicate on the clip nametag the mode of dismissal for your child (Gate C, School Bus or Name of Student Care). 

Healthy Snack Break (HSB)

• Students are encouraged to bring their HSB from home as they will not be going to the canteen at that time. Examples of HSB are nuts, fruits, sandwiches.

Lunch

• Students will be allowed to purchase food from the canteen and we encourage parents/guardians to give pocket money of about $2.00 - $2.50 to your child/ward if he/she is intending to purchase his/her own food during lunch.

Absence from School

• Parents/Guardians should ensure regular attendance of your child/ward in school. 

• The school takes a serious view of prolonged absenteeism or irregular attendance, especially without proper authorisation. Children who are absent from school must submit a Medical Certificate or Letter of Excuse upon their return to school.

• We would greatly appreciate if you inform one of the Form Teachers before 8.00 a.m. the reason of your child’s/ward’s absence.

• Parents/Guardians who wish to bring their child/ward overseas on family holidays / to attend to personal matters are to do so during the school vacations.

Birthday Celebrations

• We understand that many of our children look forward to birthday celebrations. However, in view of possible food allergies, we would like to inform that parents/guardians are not allowed to organise birthday celebrations for your child/ward in the school. This includes the distribution of goody bags. It is a concern that students may start to compare the extent in which these celebrations are carried out, adding unnecessary stress to parents.

• We can still celebrate birthdays meaningfully by singing a birthday song and giving well wishes to the birthday boy or girl. This will bring about stronger teacher-student-student relationship which will create a positive schooling experience for your child/ward.
