More Information about Student Management

1. What is CTSS’s mobile device policy?

Students may bring mobile device to school for the purpose of communication after school hours. All mobile devices must be switched off and kept in the lockers during school hours. Non-adherence will lead to the mobile device being confiscated and handed over to the Student Management Committee.

This move is in view of the introduction of Personal Learning Devices (PLD) to all students. CTSS’ choice of PLD is the Apple iPad. With PLDs, students can access digital learning resources with ease, and without need for their mobile devices. Hence, a distinction is made between the intended use of mobile devices (i.e. for communication with family) and PLDs (i.e. for learning purposes).

For more information on how our students use their PLD for self-directed learning, please visit our school's Self-Initiated Learning (SIL) microsite.

2. What is your school policy in terms of students' discipline? How does the school manage disciplinary issues?

The code of conduct for our students is anchored on our school values – Adaptability, Self-discipline, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect and Empathy. When students have disciplinary issues, our approach emphasises on helping them take personal responsibility for the misbehaviour. We recognise that as our students grow up, they will sometimes make mistakes. It is therefore important for the school to work with the students and their parents to address the misbehavior.

Depending on the severity of the offence, the school will mete out consequences for the student, which can be in the form of warning, detention, suspension or caning. In addition, our team of well-trained teachers will counsel students, to help them reflect upon the root cause of their misbehavior and understand the impact on others in the school community. They will also be guided to restore relationships with others whom they may have hurt in the course of their misbehavior.
