Attendance

All students shall attend school regularly. Noncompliance with this rule will lead to disciplinary action by the school management. Students who do not achieve 80% of the attendance are not eligible to sit in GCE A’ level final examination.

3. Extenuating circumstances which are determined by the school administration.

(School-organized activities such as field trips and trips or sports competific are not counted as absences; however, if cannot be attended, students who involved must notify affected teachers well ahead of the event).
