Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
These 2 weeks have been filled with many uncertainties and I sense that many colleagues and students have experienced some anxiety. Nonetheless, let us all keep faith with each other and hold together as a community. Let us do whatever good we can to be of service and make a positive difference to those around us, and I leave us with this quote to ponder this week:
"Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful."
- Hazrat Inayat Khan

Weekly ART Test
By: VPs
For: All
Date: 4 October 2021
Deadline: Weekly
Information:
Background Information from HQ:
As our country moves to living with an endemic COVID, testing will have to be more extensive across our population and become a “new normal” for homes, workplaces and schools.
To date, MOH and PSD have rolled out three testing regimes as part of the national efforts to expand vaccine coverage and mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission:
Fast and Easy Test (FET) Rostered Routine Testing (RRT)
Vaccinate or Regular Test (VoRT)
Weekly Testing for Public Officers
Complementing the suite of protectionary measures already in place, these testing regimes would enable the detection and ringfencing of cases more quickly. This would dampen the transmission of COVID-19 and reduce risk of overwhelming the healthcare system.
Moving Forward:
Please refer to Mr Chew's Zoom Meeting briefing on 1 Oct afternoon or the slides attached here for more information.
