Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to let everyone know that our School Counsellor Mdm Ong Lee Eng will be leaving the school and her last day will be on 7 February (Friday). We would like to express our appreciation and gratitude for her work helping the students in counselling. We wish her all the very best ahead!
Also, we would like to refer everyone to the email sent yesterday (27 January) "Declaration on Lapsing of “Fully Vaccinated” Status between 14 Feb and 31 Mar 2022".
In compliance with Workplace Vaccination Policy for the Public Service, medically eligible (ME) officers who lose their “fully vaccinated” status due to not receiving the booster vaccination within the 270-day vaccination validity period cannot be allowed to return to workplace.
ME officers who have taken the last dose of their primary vaccination series before 20 May 2021 will have to take a booster before 14 Feb 2022, to maintain their "fully vaccinated" status when the new requirement comes into effect. To facilitate planning in the first quarter,
ME fully vaccinated officers who will lose their “fully vaccinated” status between 14 Feb and 31 Mar 2022 due to not receiving their booster vaccination are required to declare to MOE HR via this FormSG by 4 Feb 2022 (Fri).
With more cases of COVID-19 in the community as we live with COVID, at the school level, we will be nimble and ready for various possible scenarios. This may involve, in the most challenging situations, of redeploying ourselves to stand in for other colleagues, adopting blended modes of lessons, zooming lessons from one class to another, have HBL, and so on. Let us pray and hope for the best, and we will rise to it and help each other as a community to ensure schooling continues for all our boys.
This is the Lunar New Year weekend and some of us are certainly doing our last minute spring cleaning at home. I would like to encourage us all to also do a final spring clean of our classrooms and staffroom before we go off the celebrate the new Tiger Year with great vitality!
Wishing everyone a wonderful Chinese New Year of the Tiger!
Believe and Serve,
Timothy Goh
