(A) Safety of Students

Parents wishing to enter the school must register themselves at the security post. Each parent will be issued with a visitor pass which must be worn at all times when in the school. Parents are to approach the General Office for assistance and are not to move into the pupil activity areas(e.g. classrooms and library) in any way.

Parents who wish to see the teachers are to do so before or after lesson hours.  Parents are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with the teachers before the actual visit.

(A) Arrival of Students in the Morning

To ensure safety of the students when they arrive at the school, the following road safety measures have been put in place. We seek parents’ fullest cooperation and kind support in the implementation.

From 2019 Term III onwards, the school has 3 pedestrian gates and 2 vehicular gates for arrival and dismissal. To heighten the safety and security of our students and staff, the school gates are open for arrival and dismissal and are closed during lesson and activity hours. Please take note of the gate opening and closure hours as follows:

Opening of MK Gate for Arrival and Dismissal

To cater to our primary school students who live in the blocks nearer to MOE Kindergarten, the school is opening the MK Gate as the third pedestrian arrival and dismissal gate. However, the following rules must be adhered to by students and parents to ensure safety, security and discipline.

• Only students are allowed to enter/exit the primary school through the MK Gate. Parents who wish to enter the school must register at the security post at Gate 1.
• Students are not allowed to walk into the MK Block at arrival and dismissal.
• Students arriving via the MK Gate are to move into the school field and exit the school field near the school foyer. In accordance with our school rule on punctuality, students who arrive at the school foyer after 7.35am will be considered late for school.
• The MK Gate will be closed to the primary school students at 7.35am sharp, as the MK security guard and personnel will have to prepare for the arrival of MK children from 7.35am.
• In the event of rain during arrival in the morning, students may walk through the MK block towards the sheltered linkway to the primary school and proceed to the assembly area/classroom by 7.35am.
• In the event of rain during dismissal, students will not be allowed to walk through the MK block as the MK gate will be closed. This is to avoid disruption to MK lessons and ensure the safety and security of the MK children. Students going back on their own will have to use Gate 1 or Gate 4. Parents picking up their child will have to enter the school through Gate 1 or Gate 4 and pick up the child at the foyer.

Students Walking to School

Parents walking their children to school are strongly advised to drop off their children at Gate 1, Gate 4 or MK Gate. Students are to walk safely into school to the canteen or IBC (before 7.25am) and to their classrooms/Parade Square/Hall (after 7.25am).

Students Driven to School

To ensure the safety of the school community and all road users, we would like to remind parents who drive to the school of the following:

• Drive carefully and within the speed limit of 15km/h within the school compound.
• When arriving in school, allow your child to alight from the vehicle independently with his/her school bag. Wait in line patiently and follow the cars in front of your vehicle to exit the school in an orderly way. Do not cut across the carpark and do not overtake other cars.
• Do not park along the roads outside the school. Park your vehicle in the carparks in the neighbouring estate.

(B) Dismissal of Student

The dismissal arrangement for the students is as follows:

Mondays to Fridays:
Gates 1, 4 & MK Gate - Parents picking up their child from 1.30pm
Gates 2 & 3 (Vehicular gates) - Gates will only be opened from 1.45pm

Wet Weather Dismissal Arrangement

In the event of wet weather, students will be dismissed at the foyer. To avoid overcrowding at the foyer, dismissal will be staggered in intervals of 5 minutes, starting with P1/P2 students, followed by P3/P4 students and P5/P6 students. The school will be improving its wet-weather dismissal system by providing four clearly demarcated dismissal paths with directional signage – (a) School-Based Student Care Centre, (b) Gate 4, (c) School Bus Transport, (d) Gate 1 and (e) MK Gate.

In the event of wet weather, parents will be allowed entry into the school premises to pick up their children by batches. There will be directional signage to guide you.

• For Gate 1 pick-up, parents are to wait at the school foyer nearer to the General Office.
• For Gate 4 pick-up, parents are to wait at the standing area outside the bookshop.

Parents are reminded not to take up the seats or stay in the school canteen as students will be having their lunch break in the canteen before their afternoon activities.

No-Entry Period for Parents and Authorised Adults

To ensure a safe space for students during recess as well as a safe and smooth dismissal of students, there will be no entry of parents and authorised adults into the school during the following period:

• Recess: No Entry from 9.00am to 10.45am
• Dismissal: No Entry from 1.15pm to 1.45pm
• Dismissal after Afternoon Activities: No Entry from 3.45pm to 4.15pm

Parents and authorised adults who are in school just before the No-Entry Period are to leave the school premises and wait outside the school. If you are picking up your child, please wait for your child at the school gate for dismissal. Parents and authorised adults are not allowed to wait at the canteen or the foyer.

Teaching Your Child to Be Independent and Responsible

We urge parents to develop your child to be independent and responsible from a young age and take ownership of his/her personal items and meals.

• Students should not have food packs (e.g. lunch box) sent to school for recess and lunch. Students are expected to buy food independently from the school canteen during recess and lunch break.
• Students should bring all required items for lessons and CCA to school in the morning. Parents should not take over the child’s responsibility to bring items to school.
• Students should not pass their school bags to their parents or an adult-helper at lunch break.

We would like to seek parents’ cooperation to work with the school in ensuring the safety of pupils coming to and leaving school. This is especially important as young children may not have the skills required to use roads properly and do not always fully appreciate the dangers presented. Their small physique also makes them less visible to motorists.
