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.”
