学生每天需在上午 7 时 25 分到校参加升旗礼。 We would like to appeal to your understanding to avoid taking your child/ ward out of school for vacation during the school term. This is to ensure that your child/ ward has a complete school experience and benefits fully from the school’s curriculum. This would also facilitate the processing of your returns for the school’s term-end or year-end administrative reviews such as feedback and surveys, P4 Parental Option for Higher Chinese and P5 Discontinuation of Higher Chinese.

在上课期间，我们吁请您避免带孩子出国度假。一方面是担心学生们会耽误课业，

另一方面也是为了方便您处理一些学期末或年终相应的行政工作，例如填写反馈表

和调查表、为小四生选修高级华文，以及让孩子在小五結束前选择在小六不修读高

级华文等等。

ACADEMIC MATTERS 学习事项 2018 PSLE Performance The school has sustained its good performance in the PSLE. The percentage of passes for all subjects continues to be significantly above national benchmarks. We are heartened by our students’ achievements and would like to wish our 2018 P6 graduates every success in their future undertakings.

2018 年小六离校会考表现

道南学校在去年的小六离校会考中保持良好的成绩。各科目及格的人数都高于国家

水平。我们对学生的成绩表现感到十分鼓舞。我们衷心希望 2018 年道南毕业生能

再接再厉，继续努力。 Information on Instructional Programme A curriculum briefing for parents of P6 Mainstream students will be held on 25 Jan 2019 (Fri). Information on curriculum matters for other levels will be uploaded on the school website by the end of Term 1.

学生个人物品、学生手册、校车与整体成绩报告表 Handling Students’ Belongings We would like to appeal to your understanding to refrain from passing your child/ ward his/ her belongings via the General Office when they have already reported to school.

镜和钥匙等会尽快转交给孩子，其他的如作业和课本等将会放在班主任在办公室的

Cyber Wellness Tips for Parents

1) BE A ROLE MODEL

Show your child how to be safe, responsible and respectful online.

Practice asking for your child’s consent before posting their photos, videos and

details online.

2) TEACH YOUR CHILD TO

Be Respectful Online: Encourage your child to put themselves in others’ shoes

and accept their opinions.

Think Before Posting: Ask your child to consider how their actions can affect

others’ feelings.

Be Vigilant Online: Stop the online activity and seek help when they feel upset or

uncomfortable with any online situation.

3) KEEP AN EYE

Activate parental controls and monitor your child’s online use.

Review all apps and services that your child uses (e.g. age restrictions,

information-sharing policies, location services).

Look out for signs that your child may have encountered difficulties online (e.g.

changes in how they use technology, upset or angry when online, amount of time

spent online and acting secretive when online).

Last but not least, TNS has an extensive exchange and immersion programme for our students to achieve an out-of-classroom learning experience and nurture within them a global perspective. These overseas trips provide our students with enriched learning experiences in Chinese culture appreciation. They also allow our students to relate the Chinese cultural knowledge they have learnt in school to a native Chinese speaking environment which they will be immersed in. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT L.A.S.E.R (Learners' Assembly for Science Examination Requirements) LASER is a series of lessons catered to the teaching of strategies and techniques for students to handle Science questions. It highlights common errors made by students and equips students with skills for answering Science questions. The lessons will be theme based. These lessons will be covered across 2 Semesters for P3 to P6. They are carried out during curriculum time or supplementary lessons for P5 and P6. Science Notes Science notes will be given to all P3 to P6 students. They will be based on themes and topics. P3 to P6 Learning Journeys P3 to P6 students will go for one Science learning journey this year to deepen their learning in Science. They will receive more information nearer to the date of the Science excursion. AESTHETICS DEPARTMENT Programme for Active Learning (PAL) @ TNS (For P1 and P2 students only)

PAL provides a broad exposure of experiences to our P1 and P2 students in the 4

domains: Sport & Games, Outdoor Education, Performing Arts and Visual Arts. It offers a

balance between the academic and non-academic areas in the school, and facilitates

holistic and well-rounded development of the students. There are important skills which

we would like our students to acquire and be competent in. These skills will help our

students to better understand themselves such as their strengths. It also builds our

students' emotional literacy in that they are able to express clearly how they feel. When

our students have the necessary social and emotional competencies, they will act

positively when presented with challenges, be able to make good decisions, have the

skills to manage how they feel and how they can act. Our students attend PAL lessons

once a week during curriculum hours.

The 2018 Revised Primary Art Syllabus (For P1 students only)

A key emphasis of this revised syllabus is engaging students in evaluating their own art

and adopting different perspectives to reflect on their own learning. Students are

encouraged to be self-directed as they have a say in how they are assessed and how

their learning is accomplished. To achieve this aim, portfolio assessment is

recommended as the main assessment mode to evaluate and support students’

learning.

The school has included the portfolio in the book list for P1. The portfolio will be

thoughtfully put together to present a holistic picture of the student's acquisition and

application of knowledge, skills and attributes learnt in the art classroom. It will contain a

collection of his/her work samples (final and process) and other evidences of his/her

learning, and uses a range of tools to assess learning. As the student will be using the

portfolio over 6 years, we enlist your help not to remove his/her existing works as he/she

progresses to the following year. The student will be required to bring the portfolio to

school at the start of Term 1 2019. He/She will be able to bring it home at the end of the

year and return it to the art teachers at the start of the new academic year.

TERM 1 SCHOOL CALENDAR 第一学段学校活动日历表 School Events and Holidays in Term 1 Please refer to the following schedule of school events and holidays in Term 1. (Refer to Student’s Handbook for the holiday calendar in 2019 - Page 22). You may wish to refer to the school website for the most updated version.

SAFETY & SECURITY MATTERS 安全与保安 Safety and Security in School We believe in taking a proactive approach in cultivating safety habits in our students, and encourage all parents/guardians to take greater responsibility and ownership to help the school achieve better safety outcomes for our students. For the safety and security of all our staff and students in the school, we seek your understanding and cooperation in the following areas: 1. Please do not remain in school during school hours or accompany your child/ward in

the canteen during recess. 2. If you need to see the teacher or make an enquiry at the General Office, kindly report

first to the security officer at the Security Post and then proceed to the General Office for assistance.

3. All visitors, including Parents/Guardians, are to produce proof of identity (e.g. Identity Card, Driving Licence) and sign in with the security officer at the Security Post. A Visitor Pass will be issued for each visitor.
