SCHOOL INFORMATION

SCHOOL LOGO

After 6 years of education in Frontier Primary, each and

every pupil will shine forth after being nurtured by our

caring staff in a dynamic culture of learning strongly

grounded in Values, Knowledge and Competencies.

SCHOOL LOGO

The word ‘Frontier’ urges

Frontierers to dare to forge ahead

to achieve breakthroughs in

boundaries. Hence we have

consciously included the word in

our logo to remind us of our

aspirations to evolve and expand

beyond the status quo.

The pupil will shine brightly. The

pupils are also depicted as

leaping forward to welcome the

future with confidence and

competence. Only the pupil is

represented in orange to show the

school’s commitment to focus on

every child and nurture him/her to

the best he/she can be.

A dynamic culture of

learning. This culture

includes a curriculum which

is progressive, holistic and

attuned to the changing

landscape and diverse

pupil needs. This culture is

also enabled by committed

and caring staff. This

culture of learning propels

the child towards

excellence.

A strong foundation in

Values,

Knowledge

and Competencies.

SCHOOL SAFETY

Environmental Safety

Road Safety

PUPIL SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

• A safe school enables a good quality of school experience

which is an important factor for pupil performance and

achievement

• Parents will be able to drive in and alight the pupils at the

foyer when they send their children to school in the morning.

• Parents will only be allowed to drive into the school to pick

their children after the school buses have left. Approximate

waiting time is about 20 minutes after school dismissal.

SCHOOL SAFETY

• All visitors (including parents) need to report to Security Post when

entering the school.

• Upon entry into school, visitors are to proceed directly to the

General Office. Visitors & parents are not permitted to go to the

classrooms or other areas of the school.

• Parents who intend to meet teachers should make prior

appointments.

• If parents need to bring child home before dismissal time due to

valid reasons (eg illnesses), they will need to fill in the “Early Exit

Form” at the General Office. Only authorised family members

above 18, domestic helpers and legal guardian will be allowed to,

in order to ensure child’s safety .

• Child’s absence from school must be supported with valid

documents (eg Medical Certificates or Parents’ Letter)

General Safety

PUPIL SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

SCHOOL SAFETY

• Toilet Pass: manage numbers of pupils going to the toilets

• Permission to Enter Class slip: teachers check for the amount of

time that has passed since pupils was released from General

Office, to the time they reach the classroom

• When lessons are conducted in a venue other than the classroom,

subject teacher will write the location on white board

The main idea for the above measures is to minimise the numbers of

pupils/amount of time that pupils are not under the duty of care of

teachers.
