Primary Division Updates
Dear Primary Division Families,
As we approach the final week of our regular term, we celebrate the learning journeys our students have taken this year. Grade levels will be wrapping up their units with showcases and celebrations, highlighting the growth and creativity that have defined our classrooms. These moments offer students a chance to reflect on their achievements and share them with our community.
Looking ahead, we are excited to launch our June J-term, themed around the rights of the child. J-term is designed to help students understand and appreciate their own rights, as well as the rights of children around the world. By engaging in hands-on projects and thoughtful inquiry, students will learn to advocate for themselves and others—an essential skill for becoming empathetic, responsible global citizens.
This focus ties directly into the Avenues World Element of a global mindset. We believe that recognizing and respecting the rights of all children fosters a sense of interconnectedness and social responsibility. Through our J-term, we aim to empower students to see themselves as agents of change, ready to make a positive impact both locally and globally.
Let’s continue to nurture our students’ curiosity, compassion, and commitment to a better world.
Wishing everyone a joyful end to the term and an inspiring start to J-term!
Warmly,
The Primary Division Leadership Team

Health Office Friendly Reminder
Recently, there has been a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the wider community. To strengthen the health defenses of our campus, the Health Office kindly reminds you and your child to stay mindful of your health.
Daily Protection Measures:
- Wear masks properly in crowded places, wash hands frequently, ventilate rooms regularly, and avoid gatherings.
- Monitor your child’s temperature and overall health. If symptoms such as sore throat, fatigue, or fever appear, please keep your child at home for observation and test promptly (antigen/PCR), and delay their return to school.
If your child is diagnosed with COVID-19, please ensure they rest and recover at home and inform the Health Office. To prevent cross-infection, students may only return to school after at least 3 days of illness with a negative nucleic acid or antigen test, or 7 days after onset of symptoms.
Promote Health Awareness
Encourage a balanced diet, regular sleep routines, and appropriate physical activity for your child. Avoid excessive fatigue.

Severe Weather Response Guide
With the arrival of summer, the frequency of extreme weather increases.
