14 days to go until the Eid break

Amidst the assessments and a busy few weeks ahead, let’s keep things simple, support one another, and take it one day at a time. 

Thank you for the continued effort and care you are showing; it really does make a difference.


Welcome to EMS



Welcome to our new Year 1 Learning Assistant, Ms Jeanelyn. We are pleased to have you join the team and look forward to the support and care you will bring to our students and classrooms.

Weather Updates Made Easier

To improve school-wide communication, daily weather updates are now automated. The nurse’s advisory email will update a shared slide in real time, providing clear, immediate information on break arrangements.

This update will be visible on corridor screens and accessible via EMS bookmarks and the Chrome homepage, allowing staff to check arrangements quickly and avoid confusion.

Punctuality

A reminder that staff are expected to be on site by 6:45 a.m. If you are running late, you must inform a member of the Admin team in advance.

Any late arrivals will need to be recorded on the cover document as a late arrival.

Cover Update

From Sunday, 3rd May, I will be taking over the cover from Ms Nicole.

Please ensure cover is sent the night before, or by 5:30 a.m. at the latest. The cover document must be shared with me, Ms Nicole, and your Team Leader, with all relevant details clearly included.
