The school has in place some measures to enable a safe and seamless learning environment for students. The role of the parent is also key in partnering the school to support your child.

While we empower our students to learn anytime, anywhere and at their own pace, we also want to empower them to take responsibility for their well-being and safety when using technology, and be a good digital citizen.
