Uniform defines our identity. All pupils should come to school in complete uniform, and must keep their attire clean and neat at all times (including IDs).

Parents are expected to label ALL of their children’s belongings with their full name and grade level.

Pupils are encouraged to develop responsibility by taking care of their own personal belongings.

As part of teaching the value of responsibility, pupils must see to it that everything is ready in their bag before going to school. Materials that were left at home and brought to the guard or any school personnel will not be accepted after the flag ceremony. Likewise, unnecessary items (e.g., toys, jewelry, playing cards, phones, etc.) are not allowed in school, unless required in special school activities. Parents may request for a written notice or permission from the teachers for special cases.

The school circulars are important communications from the school. They are placed in the Student’s Handbook. Parents should regularly check for any circular and acknowledge them through the return/reply slip which should be returned promptly.

To ensure hands-on care for each pupil, parents will be receiving updates on their child’s current status through Parent Teacher Conferences. These required events are scheduled regularly, but parents may also set-up one-on-one appointments (subject to each teacher’s availability).

As a way of helping/assisting the pupils with some difficulties in their subject/s, the school offers remedial classes to pupils for free. Parents are informed of the schedule thru the diary.

Tutorial services are offered to pupils that need an extra hand in catching up on their academic marks. These sessions are conducted after class hours, with a 1:1 ratio of tutor to tutee rule. Parents are prohibited from making personal arrangements with the teachers, and requests must be forwarded to the Admin Office.

Each pupil should respect their peers, treating them as their own brother or sister. They should also treat the school’s property with utmost care, for the use of others. They are expected to show proper behavior at all times in the following areas:
