On 28 July at 12 noon, you will be able to login to Managebac to view your child’s timetable and class details.
The Managebac dashboard will display your child’s timetable, teachers, and class locations. Please pay special attention to your child’s teacher's name* and class details, as this outlines where to go on your child’s first day.
The purpose of this handbook is to ensure that all students/parents are familiar with school rules, regulations and policies.
Sodexo is the school’s canteen provider. Meal choices change daily, with a selection of Asian, western and vegetarian meals. Meals have been designed to align with students’ tastes, but with a focus on nutrition and quality.
- If your child is in nursery to grade 3, you will need to order your meals online before school starts.
- If your child is in grades 4-12, they will be able to top up their student ID stored value card at orientation so that they can buy lunch in the first week of school.
More information about how to order and pay for meals, canteen and cafe opening hours, what types of meals are available, as well as some frequently asked questions, can be found here.
Please note that Campus Online, Sodexo’s online ordering system will reopen for orders on 23 July 2021.
