Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for supporting the afternoon oral exams last week. It is only with your help and support that we can get big, whole-school things done, and I appreciate your putting in time and effort.  

This week, two KPs, Mei Ling and Mary, from our cluster schools, will be attached to us on Monday for learning and exposure. A cross-level head, Deepa, will also be attached to us for two weeks as part of her cross-level exposure. Do welcome and forge networks with them. We may walk through some classes in the morning so they can get a sense of the school. Can I also clarify with everyone that, in general, if I step in from the backdoor of the class or stand outside the class, I'm trying not to interrupt the boys to stand up and greet us, so please go ahead and carry on your activities. If I need to address the class, I will step in from the front, then please go ahead and call their attention.

Please take note of the lockdown drill this week. Lessons from 9.20 to about 10.45 will be disrupted, so do plan around it.

I am quite heartened to see more boys taking the mindfulness practice seriously, and I attribute it to your positive role-modelling. So please keep encouraging/leading the mindfulness breathing at the start of the day, and do start your lessons and CCAs by asking the prayer leaders to lead in remembering the Presence of God and maintain silence for 15-20 seconds. Hopefully, with the practice of mindfulness and silence, our boys can come to experience God's inspiration to act in a more self-regulated and disciplined manner.

Follow the inspirations that come to you from God.

2) Attendance Reporting Links

During the Emergency Preparedness Exercise next Tuesday, 2 different attendance sheets will be sent to you via the school handphone. Do look through the sheets (view only at this point) to familiarise yourselves with the data that you need to input on that day. Both staff and pupils' attendance need to be reported.

The first sheet is the Lockdown Attendance which will be sent to you once lockdown has been activated. If you are the subject teacher with the class when lockdown is activated, please update the attendance of your class promptly and accurately and report cases of any missing students or additional students in the same sheet. Please refer to the link below for the Lockdown Attendance Sheet:

Remember to keep both classroom doors open before moving off to Kampung Siglap. 

The second sheet will be sent to you to update attendance after lockdown is lifted and when you have moved to Kampung Siglap. Please note that the students will gather in their form classes once they are at Kampung Siglap. Form Teachers/Teachers assigned to be with the classes will update the attendance of the classes promptly and accurately. Do report cases of any missing students or additional students too.  Please refer to the link below for the EHA Attendance Sheet: 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/194kVPt00pjpIVhNu2Hnz2aZEbm-8EdxDjsytVElJW5Q/edit?usp=drive_link 

These links will be sent to you again during the Emergency Preparedness on Tuesday.

2) 2nd evacuation text will be sent out once marshallers are in place.

    Second group to move out will be those at the library (exit via Side Gate) and ISH (exit via Student Care Gate)

.

3) 3rd evacuation text will be sent out (about 5 min later) for those classes at the main block (all classes between Staircase 1 to 5) to evacuate.
