“We will make adjustments to the Holistic Development Profile, or more commonly known as the report book, to better reflect a student’s progress in learning, and to
discourage excessive peer comparison. These adjustments will also help to reduce test anxiety.”

Some suggested ways
Parents are encouraged to allow your child to attempt the homework on their own. Guide your child, but do not do their homework for them.
Provide structures for students to develop good habits that support independent learning such as teaching them to jot down their homework and packing their bags.
Always work with your child’s teachers first as they are the ones who know your child well.
Train your children to be able to relay information to their teachers & vice versa.
Encourage Joy of Learning!
