St. Patrick's School

Recommendation to Parents

(1) In order to secure all that is best in the education of our children, Parents/Guardians are expected to co-operate with the School authorities by enforcing regularity and discipline, by seeing that they prepare their lesson daily and take an active and helpful interest in the activities of the School.
(2) Parents/Guardians are informed that occasional reports about conduct and application from the teachers are conveniently sent through the calendar. We earnestly recommend that parents or guardians should look in to their children's School Calendar every day and see to it that lessons and homework assigned for the next day are done. They should also keep an eye on the Leave and Absence Record.
(3) Parents are particularly expected to sign Messages of the Principal, Teachers, Periodic Report, Weekly Reports or any other similar documents when so requested. Failure to do this may put their children to great inconvenience and render them liable of being sent home. Repealed late coming or forgetting to bring books may result in being debarred from joining the class.
(4) If a pupil is to be absent due to illness for more than 3 days, the principal must be informed at once.
(5) Private tuitions are strongly discouraged. No tuition may be taken from the teacher who teaches the pupil's own class.
(6) Parents, guardians or other persona are NOT allowed to see the students or interview their teachers during School hours without the permission of the Principal.
(7) There will be "Open Days" regularly where Parents/Guardians are free to meet the class teacher, and subject teachers concerning the performance of their child. Criticisms of your child's teacher's or school in their presence should be studiously avoided, because it causes them to lose respect for their teacher with a consequent failure to learn from the teacher. Should you have a legitimate complaint, please see the Principal as early as possible.
(8) As your child advances in age, guide her to become resourceful and useful member of both home and country. Encourage self-help in work and study. She should be taught to keep the house tidy, do personal work (polish her own shoes.) etc. The formation of such habits early in life inculcates in her the idea of the dignity of work, a fundamental personal virtue for a successful career in life.
(9) Withdrawal of your ward from class, for social functions is not recommended because it retards their progress in School and minimizes their respect for regular hard work.
(10) Parents/ Guardians are specially requested to notify the School of any change in their address and Phone Number. Parents/Guardian should kindly furnish their Specimen signatures in the space provided at the top of the absence record. When writing to school authorities about your child, always quote the full name and the standard and division of the child.
(11) It is very much appreciated when parents respond readily to the invitation sent to them to attend the Parent Teacher Meetings and other school events. It is only with the co-operation of the parents that the school can promote the all-round development of student.
(12) No child suffering from an infectious or contagious disease should be sent to school.
(13) Parents are kindly requested to acquaint themselves with the rules and regulations of school and see that their wards abide by them.
