General Information

  1. How do I assist as a Parent Volunteer?

    • For parents whose sons are already enrolled in the School, the Principal annually sends out a form inviting parents to participate in various parent support groups. Parents may choose to sign-up using the form. Alternatively, parents may visit this website on the Parent Support Group and speak with the co-ordinators of the various groups to find out more about their activities.

  2. My son has the same teacher for most of his subjects, is this good?

    • All primary school teachers are generalists. Although there is specialisation of teaching, this is done mostly at the upper levels. At the lower primary levels, it is helpful to have a teacher teach the class more than one subject. This provides a sense of stability for the child and teachers can provide more nurturing as they would get to know the child better. 

  3. I do not understand the various subjects in the timetable and what they stand for?

An annual nominal LOA fee will be charged.
