  • Can the parents accompany the child throughout the 1st day of school?
    Parents are not allowed to accompany the student on the 1st day of school. This is to acclimatize your child to their new school and routines. Please be rest assured that our team of teachers will be with your child.

    Students are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school. This includes smart watches / devices that are capable of sending messages or making calls.

  • How long does my child have to wear the clip-on name tag?
    We strongly encourage the children to put on the clip-on name tag for the first month of school for ease of identification and access to important information. Please ensure that you fill in all the information accurately.

    The Form Teachers will be issuing the timetable to the children by week 2.
