Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your dedication to helping make the first few days a good start for the boys. The Year Head Team has been working hard to plan and make it purposeful. There are always areas that can be improved so please do give your inputs when we do the reviews.

In our effort to maximise our meetings, this bulletin has been put together as our attempt to minimise long drawn briefings. But we do need to make the effort to adopt this new way of working by having the self-discipline to read this bulletin to the end and to also read emails. We are also making an effort to reduce laborious meetings and send out many disparate emails. As a result of the feedback on the bulletins which Edwin had sent out at the end of last year, we have decided to make a tweak to send out the bulletin on Friday morning to give everyone more time to read and plan ahead for the next week. I do hope that everyone will take the time to read so that we are informed of upcoming programmes.

As shared at the Staff Meeting last week, do try our best to maintain our professional conduct and seek help if need be. The links to the slides and the code are as follows:

Code of Professional Conduct

Start of School Year Staff Meeting 29 Dec 2021

Let's start the year on a positive note by taking a leap of faith and taking the first step to be of service to our community and helping each other succeed. I leave you with this quote for the week:

It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.

~ Napoleon Hill

Believe and Serve,

Timothy Goh

Should you need help, please feel free to Danielle know. We do not need to ask the pupils all the questions on the form and they are just guiding questions to get the conversation going and build teacher-student relationship.
