Information Details: Dear teachers, we will be commemorating Racial Harmony Day next week. The theme this year is ‘Singapore: Our Multicultural Mosaic’. It focuses on the appreciation of the diverse races and religions that make up our multicultural society, and which contribute to our shared sense of cohesion and harmony.

Assembly on Monday will be in the classrooms for P1 to P4 pupils. For P5 and P6 pupils, they will bring their bags to the Hall and be dismissed from there.

As part of our commemoration, do come in ethnic attire on 21 July 2022. Please refer to the slides for more details.

Let’s work together to help our Stephenians to apply the theme in their lives, explore what it means to strengthen connection amongst communities, and take action to preserve racial harmony in Singapore.

Information Details: Dear teachers, as part of our commitment to saving the environment, Stephenians will take a more active approach in being environmental stewards. We will embark on a class-based paper recycling programme.

Each class has been equipped with a paper recycling bin. Pupils are required to place all paper items that have been used to their entirety into the recycling bin. Green Leaders will empty the bins weekly (or when deemed fit so that the bins are not too heavy) into the main collection blue bin outside the PAL room.

What can be recycled: printed paper /newspaper / carton boxes / stapled paper

What cannot be recycled: tissue paper, paper with glossy or plastic coating, wet wipes

Teachers can help by reminding the pupils to make the right choice between throwing and recycling. More will be shared with the boys during assembly.

SSSPARK is facing a challenge in sourcing for suitable available support for us with the increase in collaboration projects as well as the return to workplace arrangement many of their members are in. To ease their pressure, pls email the PV request form to Lishan at least 4 weeks before the event date.

You may refer to the sharing S:\@Heritage and Partnership\Partnership - SSSPARK\Spark Request_Blank Form for the latest revised version of the form.

The Partnership Committee has set aside for your use a refreshment budget of $3 per PV per day for short term/adhoc support projects. For long term projects, such as field duty, MTL Recess Storytelling, please approach Lishan to discuss on suitable appreciation gestures. Kindly indicate to Elizabeth (Finance) to charge this bill to the right budget when you process your claims.

Dear Colleagues,

Enclosed are the materials shared during the PD session on how we can support our Tier 2 pupils.

We will begin the Positive Behaviour Check-In Check-Out (PBCICO) with the identified pupils (chosen as a school) and attach them to the recommended mentors. Our aims are to:

1. Equip them with social skills to self-regulate better for emotional, behavioural & academic growth;

2. Emphasise expectations and acknowledge appropriate behaviour by using the RP language and affective statements;

3. Build greater TSR by assigning them a suitable Mentor as the 'go-to' trusted adult;

4. Provide them with rewards, tangible or otherwise, to recognise and affirm positive efforts,s no matter how small the success may be.

Moving forward, we will continue to deepen our conversations with our pupils during the structured Circle Time. We will also provide Social Skills training to these Tier 2 pupils in anger management and relationship management by incorporating the Leader In Me strategies. Do empower our Peer Supporters to help their classmates to look out for each other using RP language.
