School’s support

What Parents/Guardians can Do:

• Choice of School Bags:

• Select bags of lightweight material with few

compartments, and straps that are adjustable and

cushioned

• Encourage your child to carry personal items in a

separate bag to distribute load

• Avoid using trolley school bag as it is heavy (even

without books)

• Items in the School Bag:

• Do not bring heavy stationery items and other

unnecessary articles such as a 36-colour pencil box, a

multi-compartment pencil case, a large water bottle

and a bulky lunch box 13

Family’s support

Transition to Primary 1 –How can Parents/Guardians help?

• Teaching your child to do some tasks independently like

asking for permission, going to the toilet, counting money

• Providing your child with some prior knowledge like

counting from 1 to 10

• Preparing your child on the difference between pre-

school and primary school. E.g. larger learning

environment, longer school hours
