WORKING WITH ZHPS TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD
IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO
RAISE A CHILD.
OUR SCHOOL-PARENT PARTNERSHIP PHILOSOPHY
PARENTS ARE OUR PARTNERS IN EDUCATION -- A MEANINGFUL COLLABORATION WITH PARENTS SUPPORTS OUR STUDENTS’ HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT.
School-Parent Partnership
We value your partnership.
Please support us as parent volunteers.
We welcome your constructive feedback and seek to address your concerns.
Please do not hesitate to contact
your child’s teacher if you have concerns or queries regarding her well-being and progress
the school office or school leaders regarding school matters.
What we would appreciate from parents: 3Cs and 1B
Living out our school values of Care & Respect:
When your child tells you something that alarms you
keep Calm
remain Courteous
Communicate your concerns to the teacher directly and constructively
Give the teacher or classmate the Benefit of the doubt
Could it be a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of words said? Is there more than one side to the story?
We don’t have perfect teachers but we have teachers who care for the students and have the students’ interests at heart.
Parents’ Support: 2 Cs, 1 G
Character education

The student handbook contains essential information about the school and its policies. Parents play a significant role in their children’s education. You may want to read through the content to help support your child/children in their education journey.
The student handbook is also a good way to check on your child’s given homework for the day. Please encourage and remind them to make good use of the handbook to note down their work and things to bring.
The teachers may also occasionally use the handbook as a means of communication to highlight some matters which need your attention. Hence it will be good that you can go through the handbook daily with your child.
Regular school attendance is critical to a child’s learning. It is compulsory for students to be present on all school days unless he/she is sick. A medical certificate or a letter/note/email to the form teacher should be submitted upon the child’s return to school.
Should parents need to excuse their child from school due to official/valid reasons such as external competitions or examinations, a letter/email to the Principal or Vice-Principal should be given at least one week in advance for permission.
