Term 3 is around the corner and I am so happy that we can all be back at school. We have to be thankful because it could have been so different as in other countries that are now commencing their second lockdown. Let’s pray it does not come to that in Malaysia.

So this is to welcome you all back Parents and students!

However, under the new norm please know that the school will be operating under the same SOP’s and guidelines as before the end of Term 2. This will continue until further notice. We will continue to monitor the situation as always very closely.

To remind you, here are some of the SOPs that we have put in place for all staff and students to follow the social distancing guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education.

• On arrival to school at the various entry points temperature checks are taken. (Please note: that I ask parents NOT to get out of their cars when dropping children off)
• After temp checks, learners and teachers should be in their classrooms by 7:45 am.
• Floor markings show walking flow, e.g., use the side stairs to walk up, the central atrium stairs to walk down.
• Classroom desks are 1m apart in all directions and students have to remain in their individual working space.
• Breaks will be timetabled, but learners will be restricted to classrooms and allowed to leave for washroom breaks and lunchtimes.
• Students have a limited time on-site so arrival at school and returning home should be near the start and end of school times, e.g., arrive close to 7:30 am and leave no later than 4:00pm.
• A packed lunch will be available by pre-order, or learners can bring their own lunch.

I also ask please that your children be provided with x2 face masks each day they attend school. As part of our SOP guidelines is that a face mask should be worn when arriving and moving around the school, however they are not compulsory inside the classroom. Lastly if your child has a medical concern such as respiratory condition then I recommend highly that you may want to consider a face shield as an additional item.

Lastly I need to ask you that if you need to come to school for any reason for example to see me, pay fees to finance or to see any members of staff please be advise that you will need to make an appointment. This is to limit the number of people in school at any one time in accordance to MOE's guideline. 

Let me end by emphasizing that we have to work together collaboratively through these times in order to ensure the continuity of the school and to safeguard the quality of education that your children are receiving.
