GENERAL SCHOOL ROUTINES

ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL

All students are expected to attend school and maintain 95% attendance throughout the academic year in order to y cover the learning objectives and programme of each grade successfully. 

All students are to be in school at the designated time. Attendance for the day will be taken by the homeroom teachers. Any student who is not present during the marking of attendance will be considered late or absent. 

DURING RECESS

Students are encouraged to enjoy their food and drinks during designated times, such as recess and lunch breaks, in the cafeteria or classroom. By displaying good table manners, such as properly disposing of food scraps and not discarding them on the table or floor, students can create a pleasant dining experience for everyone.

GENERAL SCHOOL PROCEDURES

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL

Parents should inform the Homeroom Teacher/HSRM on the day of absence through the Toddle app or mail.

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL DUE TO ILLNESS  OR OTHER VALID REASONS

Long Absences from school due to illness should be supported by a medical certificate, which must be submitted to the homeroom teacher. When the student returns to school, letters must be written /signed by parents or guardians and will be verified by the coordinator. 

PUNCTUALITY IS THE 1ST STEP TO DISCIPLINE 

Timely arrival at school gives students important time to socialise with their friends and get ready to start learning in a positive way. 

COMING LATE

Latecomers(those who arrive after 8.30 am) must inform their class teachers, or else they will be considered absent. Punctuality is important, and we encourage all students to arrive on time. Consistently being on time shows responsibility and respect for the learning environment and helps build a positive profile. Additionally, meeting attendance requirements is necessary for eligibility to take year-end exams. (Note: Please refer to the student handbook website for further information). 

LEAVING THE CLASSROOM

Students must remain in class during change-over of periods when a teacher is not around. Students must not loiter along the corridors at any time. Movement along the corridors should take place in a quiet and orderly manner.
