I would particularly like to draw parents' attention to the information about temporary guardianship should both parents need to be out of Singapore for a short period:
• It is very important the school holds up to date emergency contact details.
• If you are leaving your child for a short period with a guardian the school must be informed prior to your
departure.
• Helpers cannot act as guardians in Singapore.
Thank you for your cooperation.
