We kindly ask that you refrain from calling or emailing the school for information. Please understand that if the information is not here, then it is not available yet!
General Information

Communication
We use various channels of communication to reach including this website, email, and our Facebook Page.
Ignore any information that is not official.
We make every effort to communicate with parents in a clear and timely manner. There is a huge difference between “I have not received any email from school” and “I have not bothered reading any email I received from school”. We keep a track record of every email sent out, including date and time. Please act responsibly.

Transport will begin operating on the first day of school. During the initial days, there may be some delays. Please avoid calling the school to check on transport status, as the office staff will not have real-time information on arrival or departure times.

Updating Details
Once school starts in September, we will send you a form so that you may provide/update student details, including addresses, telephone numbers and emergency contact details. We will then double check these details with those in our system to ensure that all information is accurate and up to date.
Remember that it is your responsibility to inform us of any changes in contact details that may occur during the scholastic year.
School Attendance
School attendance is mandatory. Please use this form to justify 1 or 2-day absences. Students are to hand in this form either before or immediately upon coming back to school after an absence. We will also provide a hard copy of the form when school starts.
Please note that if a student is sick for more than 2 consecutive days, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Unauthorised absences are automatically flagged and reported if they exceed 2 days in a month or 9 days in any given period.
