EMOTIONAL
Discover how we support school staff through emotional well-being programmes. Check out our staff bonding initiatives, including theme dressing, a potluck brunch and supportive games.
Let’s Go Shopping… at Work!
With a variety of vendors on-site, retail therapy comes straight to our doorstep. From almond cookies and bath bombs to a colourful assortment of greens, browsing is as easy as ABC. Whether purchasing items they fancy or simply enjoying the buzz and making new like-minded friends, there is something for everyone.

Indeed, on-site retail therapy is a small, yet delightful and therapeutic sight to behold.

"It is interesting to see how the staff were able to dress in different shades of the same colour."— Annonymous
Manito-Manitee Game
During the month of September, we played the Manito-Manitee (opens in new tab) Game (Angel-Mortal) to encourage a caring environment in the school and to enhance staff bonding. All staff (teaching and non-teaching) were randomly paired and everyone had to take care of their appointed Manitee, for a month.
Many gave gifts and wrote encouraging notes to brighten up the day, but they would remain anonymous until revelation day, which was Teachers' Day. There were hand made gifts and improvised wrapping papers , well thought and nicely wrapped up snacks and useful stationery.
All in all, most staff gave positive feedback and are looking forward to more of such engaging activities in future.
Potluck Breakfast Session
The staff welfare committee had organised a Brunch Potluck session during Marking Day. Food has always been a successful way to bring staff from different department together. Every department was invited to bring a few different types of food. There was a splendid array of food on the table. Staff enjoyed themselves.
Certainly a meal fit for many kings!
