Start of School 2026 - Important Information for Students and Parents / Guardians

To ensure that Secondary 1 students are well prepared for the start of their secondary school journey with us, please note the following information. 

(A) Reporting & Dismissal Time and Venue 
Daily reporting time:  Students are encouraged to be in school by 7.25am for silent reading.  They will be considered late if they arrive in school from 7.28am onwards. 

Reporting venue on Day 1: Parade Square* 
*The Student Leaders of the Secondary 1 Orientation Programme will guide them to the parade square. 

(B) School Attire and Appearance 
Students are required to adhere to the following attire expectations. Students with highlighted hair and boys with long hair will be sent home to rectify the issue before they are allowed to return.

On normal school days, students must wear the full school uniform, as above, or the school polo T-shirt with school bottoms (i.e. school shorts, pants or skirt). However, on days when students have PE lessons, except for Chapel days, students can be in half-uniform, i.e. school PE T-shirt and school uniform bottoms. 

On Thursdays, when Lower Secondary students attend Chapel, they are to be in full school uniform with their school ties (both boys and girls). If students have PE on Thursdays, they can be in half-uniform after their PE lessons. 

On Fridays, which are Dress Down Days, students can be in half-uniform with any school-related T-shirt.  

All tops, except for the blouse, must be tucked in at all times whether in full uniform, half-uniform or PE attire. 

*Note that the school badge will be presented to the Secondary 1 students during the Installation Ceremony on Friday, 9 January 2026, and students will receive their name tags by the middle of Term 1 if they make payment when they purchase their books/stationery from the school bookshop. 

(C) Locker Arrangement 
All students are issued a locker and students are required to use their own locks to secure the locker. Students should bring along a lock on the first day of school so that they can secure their belongings. All mobile phones should be kept in the locker during curriculum time, including recess. 

(D) Secondary 1 3D2N Residential Camp (20 - 22 May 2026) 
The school will be organising a camp for Secondary 1 students as part of the school’s FLEX programme. It will be held at an external campsite. Parents / Guardians will receive more information with regards to the camp via Parents Gateway (PG) at a later date.
