As per SCT, the Bulletin pools together the vital information on key events, school/level programmes aking place in the upcoming week(s) or key items/areas to note on student & staff matters, The accompanying files/slides for each news item are for your downloading. and reference.

The weekly Staff Bulletin will be published every Thursday so you could read and plan for the week ahead. The link will be sent out to all via the School Handphone as well as through CES outlook email so we could have 'da news' conveniently at our fingertips, even on the go, so to speak :D

Hope everyone will find this useful. If there are ways to improve the system or layout etc, do just let any KP or SL know! Also, should you have any items to share with staff, please approach respective HODs or Committee Heads, just as per SCT in the past.

PLUS: Please do continue checking our CES outlook emails daily, for direct communication as well as urgent / immediate matters.
