A warm welcome and some updates

Dear parents/guardian,

Greetings! My name is Ms Vivian Ong and I am the form teacher of 5 Faith for the upcoming academic year (2013). Over the course of the upcoming year, I will be conducting Art lesson and Form Teacher Guidance Period (FTGP) with your child.

As we embark on this new academic year of your child's education, it seems appropriate that I take this opportunity to update you on the current progress of the class.

Over the course of the past week, your child and her classmates have engaged in discussions to lay down a set of class rules which they will conform to for the year 2013. Personally, I feel that this activity is important as it allows pupils to be responsible for their own learning and development. I hope that this set of class rules would serve as a platform so as to enable these young ladies to achieve a greater success in their learning. Keeping in mind our school vision -- “A CHIJ OLQP pupil is a confident young LADY who has moral character and genuine love for LEARNING, LEADING and serving GOD and others” in short “LEARNER, LEADER, LADY”, the class rules were drafted with these ideologies as a guideline and in this letter, I would like to share with you the class rules drafted by the ladies of class 5 Faith:

LEARNER

– Listen, help and be patient with one another

– Work together to keep the classroom clean at all times.

LEADER

– Be a positive influence to one another

– Build on strengths, overcome weaknesses

LADY

– Speak, sit and behave like a lady

– Treat everyone with respect

You may also wish to encourage your child to practice these at home.

A gentle reminder, with regards to absence from school, it would be appreciated if you could email me on your child’s absence whenever possible. This would help me ensure that I would be aware of the whereabouts of your child. Kindly also remind your child to submit a letter or Medical Certificate upon her return on the next school day.  If there is a need for your child to be excused from school (i.e. piano examination), please present a letter (leave of absence) in advance so that the necessary administrative actions can be taken.

Next, I would like to inform you on the contact details of your child’s subject teachers.
