Dates to Remember |
|
Choir:
We hope you have enjoyed our Semmozhi Tamil School’s Choir performance at the Annual Day, if you or your child is interested to participate in the choir please email us. Kindly note that there will be a small additional fee to join the choir.
Attendance:
We expect the students to attend the classes regularly. Students missing classes find it very difficult to catch up with the rest of their group and make poor progress in learning Tamil. Students are expected to come to the lesson on time at 7:00 pm start. Latecomers will be marked and it will impact their attendance score. At least 85% attendance is a must. If the child does not have satisfactory attendance, they may not be able to sit the end of year assessment and are likely to stay in the same grade for the next academic year.
School Pickup:
Please be available to pick your child by 8.45 pm and vacate the school premises by 8.50 pm. There will be no adult supervising your child after 8.50 PM. If you are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, please arrange a cover for pickup and/or inform your child’s teacher.
Parking:
Kindly avoid parking on both sides of Norris Road as it causes a lot of traffic congestion. Kindly make use of the two school car parks of Sale High School.
