General Tidy Up - 14 December

Class EAs - we would ask you to help the end-of-term "tidying-up" process. Open cabinets, tidy items, and return them to their original/ designated place. You will need to work in teams to get through everything. Please refer to the "to-do" list here, many many thanks 🙇


Housekeeping and Facilities Updates from Jaz

Deep Cleaning and Pest Control

The entire school will undergo deep cleaning on December 18th and 19th. Please avoid coming to school on these days. The cleaning company will steam clean the carpets. They will also clean the light fixtures, windows, and air-conditioners. Please remove any displays in your classroom that you don't want to be damaged. 


Staff Room Renovation

Our staff room will have a sub-room on the planning side to serve as a designated space for teachers to engage in quiet planning and meetings. Additionally, the sub-room will be utilised by therapists for student therapy sessions. 


Playground Flooring Repaint

We are finally getting our playground flooring repainted. Please avoid parking at the playground during the Christmas break. 


Broadband Bandwidth Upgrade

We will be having our broadband upgrade on the 18th. Hopefully, it can solve the wifi issues. 


IT Assets

Please return all laptops, iPad minis, and chargers to CJ by Friday morning. 


Upcoming Dates

Please check our internal calendar below, as we might forget to remind everyone of odd dates. We will continue to add events to the calendar as soon as it's confirmed. Here's the full 2023/24 Calendar 


Thank you!
