8. SCHOOL LOGO
After 6 years of education in Frontier Primary, each and
every pupil will shine forth after being nurtured by our
caring staff in a dynamic culture of learning strongly
grounded in Values, Knowledge and Competencies.
9. SCHOOL LOGO
The word ‘Frontier’ urges
Frontierers to dare to forge ahead
to achieve breakthroughs in
boundaries. Hence we have
consciously included the word in
our logo to remind us of our
aspirations to evolve and expand
beyond the status quo.
The pupil will shine brightly. The
pupils are also depicted as
leaping forward to welcome the
future with confidence and
competence. Only the pupil is
represented in orange to show the
school’s commitment to focus on
every child and nurture him/her to
the best he/she can be.
A dynamic culture of
learning. This culture
includes a curriculum
which is progressive,
holistic and attuned to the
changing landscape and
diverse pupil needs. This
culture is also enabled by
committed and caring staff.
This culture of learning
propels the child towards
excellence.
A strong foundation in
Values,
Knowledge
and Competencies.

24. SCHOOL SAFETY
Environmental Safety
Road Safety
PUPIL SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
• A safe school enables a good quality of school experience
which is an important factor for pupil performance and
achievement
• Parents will be able to drive in and alight the pupils at the
foyer when they send their children to school in the morning.
• Parents will only be allowed to drive into the school to pick
their children after the school buses have left. Approximate
waiting time is about 20 minutes after school dismissal.
25. SCHOOL SAFETY
• All visitors (including parents) need to report to Security Post when
entering the school.
• Upon entry into school, visitors are to proceed directly to the
General Office. Visitors & parents are not permitted to go to the
classrooms or other areas of the school.
• Parents who intend to meet teachers should make prior
appointments.
• If parents need to bring child home before dismissal time due to
valid reasons (eg illnesses), they will need to fill in the “Early Exit
Form” at the General Office. Only authorised family members
above 18, domestic helpers and legal guardian will be allowed to, in
order to ensure child’s safety .
• Child’s absence from school must be supported with valid
documents (eg Medical Certificates or Parents’ Letter)
General Safety
PUPIL SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
26. SCHOOL SAFETY
• Toilet Pass: manage numbers of pupils going to the toilets
• Permission to Enter Class slip: teachers check for the amount of
time that has passed since pupils was released from General
Office, to the time they reach the classroom
• When lessons are conducted in a venue other than the classroom,
subject teacher will write the location on white board
The main idea for the above measures is to minimise the numbers of
pupils/amount of time that pupils are not under the duty of care of
teachers.
Pupils Safety
PUPIL SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
