By now, you should know who your child's Form, Co-Form Teacher, Associate Form Teacher and subject teachers are. Please feel free to contact the teachers to better understand your child's progress throughout this year.

Please plan your travelling time so that you need not wait outside the school to enter the school from 1.50pm and remind your child to wait for you at the Meeting Point. If you need to come to the school for any matters, please park your vehicle at the public car parks in the school vicinity.
