WE ARE PARTNERS

Class Rules / Expectations

Late or Incomplete Work & Bad Behaviour

Pupils who consistently hand in their work late or

incomplete:

• Parents will be informed in the event your child is

required to stay behind to finish the incomplete work.

• Pupils who misbehave themselves in/out of class may be

disciplined by the teacher concerned.

TIPS TO HELP YOUR CHILD• Promote a reading and speaking culture at home in

accurate English & Mother Tongue:

– Children read when they see their parents reading.

– Children speak when they hear their parents speaking.

• A proper PLACE for study and revision at home (away

from TV, computer & electronic devices).

• A regular TIME for study and revision daily:

– Sit beside your child; your presence means much to him/her

– Check your child’s bag for homework & assignments

“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow

a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.”
