ATTENDANCE

It is very important that students are regular to school.  Students miss important lessons and consistency in their learning due to frequent absence from school. Students can only be absent for valid reasons and must produce explanation upon their return to school.  If a child is continuously absent or late without valid reason, they will be referred to the truancy officer.

Students must not go for holiday during term time. If they do, they will be marked as on holiday during term time.

Furthermore, parents are requested to help with collection of as many 2m length bamboo sticks as these would be used as stakes.  You are also requested to donate any spare garden tools, water tanks, fruit trees or anything else to support the school garden.
