Dear colleagues,

As we start 2024, we need to remember the importance of starting right by getting our procedures and routines robust for good classroom management for the rest of the year. Week 1 timetable has been suspended to help us achieve that and also address other important work such as character building and values inculcation.  

Please find the Start Right slides which provides an overview of the structure and the components.  We have introduced "Knowing Our Heritage" to bring our boys back to our roots as a Lasallian school. We will be doing our Back to School Check-in via Stephenian Circle which is explained in the slides.

Do find Week 1 timetable attached and note that all teaching and learning resources for Start Right will be parked in s drive/ level folder/ 2024/Start Right.

Dear colleagues,

Discipline is a core component for effective teaching and learning. Thus,it is important we know its meaning.

The root word 'discipline' is 'disciple' .  It comes from the Latin word 'discipulus' meaning student. 

The word 'discipline' is the Latin word 'disciplina' which means to study/learn. 

To develop our boys holistically, we need to teach, be consistent and ourselves,role model good behaviour. It is not just about actions and consequences. 

Every staff needs to understand and adhere to a consistent set of disciplinary measures so that there wont be comparison and unfairness.

For a start, the Level Disciplinary representative will take time during the upcoming Wednesday Level meeting (3 January) to go through with you the school disciplinary reporting form and guidelines.

Let me introduce the 2024 Level Disciplinary Representatives to you.

P1: Ms Tan Tse See , P2: Mrs Fiona Wong

P3: Mr Tan Yi Ru , P4: Mr Abdul Rauf

P5: Mdm Rozita , P6: Mdm Huang Jie

As a support structure, P1/P2 Level reps will work as a pair to oversee Lower Primary discipline issues. Same goes for P3/P4 Level reps to oversee Middle Primary discipline issues and P5/P6 Level reps to oversee Upper Primary discipline issues.

Attached is the Discipline Management Process document that was shared during Staff meeting.

Disciplining the boys is everyone's responsibility. It is not a situation when things happened, report submitted, the follow through of the cases becomes the discipline representative's responsibility. The disciplinary representatives will be around to guide and advise you as you follow through with the cases. 

With a positive growth mindset, we can make SSS a school where the boys Enter to Learn and Leave to Serve. 

Have a great 2024.

Thank you.
