Home School Partnership

Principles for communication

• Our school adopts a collaborative approach between parents and staff to address students’ needs. We update parents on students’ progress holistically and seek to establish strong home-school partnerships to serve the best interests of our students.
• We are committed to maintaining a culture of open and constructive dialogue that supports resolution of issues and successful collaboration.
• We forge strong parent-school relationships that are premised on trust and respect.

Guidelines

1. Staff should be contacted through their email addresses or the General Office by default, although they may opt to share their handphone numbers with students and parents.
2. Phone calls/WhatsApp messages should only be made during school operating hours (7.30am – 6pm on weekdays) unless there is an emergency.
3. Urgent messages to staff members may be directed to the school’s General Office, should they be uncontactable during school hours.
4. For in-depth discussions on issues, meetings may be arranged with at least 3 days’ notice. Staff have the discretion to schedule earlier meetings if deemed necessary.
5. The school advocates trust and mutual respect in all communication. In the unlikely event that disrespectful communication takes place, the school will choose not to engage with the party concerned.
