| Homework |
| Parents play an important role in the
learning process. Learning in the Early Years is experiential
and parents are requested to provide similar valuable
learning experiences at home. Homework in the Early
Years is set according to the age and ability of the
student. Parents are requested to support/supervise
and encourage their child in completing the homework
set by the school. |
| |
| Assessment |
Assessment provides teachers with important
information about the student's learning and helps teachers
plan appropriate experiences for their young students.
Teachers document students growing competencies and
help parents understand their child's development.
Assessment in the Early Years involves: |
| |
|
• |
observation of the student |
| |
|
• |
completion of standardized worksheets |
| |
|
• |
samples of student work compiled to form individual
portfolios of work |
| |
| Formal Parent Teacher
Meetings |
| These are held thrice a year.
Parents are informed of the work to be covered during
the year and how they can support their child. |
| |
| Reports |
| A school year consists of
two terms and reports are issued at the end of each
term. These inform parents of their child's achievements
as well as suggest how parents can help their child. |
| |
| Rewards |
| Certificates, smiling faces,
stars and stickers are rewarded to the students for
good behavior, good manners and special achievements.
These rewards are used as incentives and are awarded
continuously throughout the year. |
| |
| Notification of Events
and Newsletters |
| Important school information
is always notified in writing, usually through circulars
and newsletters, both of which are sent to parents regularly. |
| |
| Absences |
| Parents are requested to
inform the school of all absences in writing. |
| |
| Security |
| A student I.D card is issued
to the parents at the time of admission. Parents are
requested to ensure that they or their representative
present the I.D card to the teacher on duty before taking
their child home. |
| |
| School Uniform |
| The wearing of a school uniform
helps to foster a sense of pride and belonging in the
students. Parents are requested to ensure that all clothing
is clearly labeled with the student's name, ensuring
that all lost items can be found and returned quickly. |
| |
| Medication |
| Apart from specific cases,
such as asthma and diabetes, no medication will be given
to students or will be self-administered by the students.
If a student requires any other kind of medication during
normal school times then arrangements should be made
for the medication to be brought to school and administered
by a parent or parent's representative. |
| |
| Hygiene |
| We take great pride in encouraging
healthy hygiene habits from early age and students are
encouraged to take care of simple things such as keeping
their hair tidy, washing their hands before eating and
keeping their face clean. |
| |
| Emergencies |
| If a student should become
ill or meet with an accident during school hours, the
school office will contact the parent. |
| |
| Road Safety |
| Parents are requested to
help provide a safe and orderly environment outside
the school by driving slowly while in the vicinity of
the school. |
| |
| Pastoral Care |
| All members of the staff
share in the care of all the students. The class teacher
has specific responsibility for the needs, well-being
and happiness of the students in her class. |
