Guiding Principles

The Student Management Department envisions for Sembawang Primary School to be a Safe, Conducive, and Inclusive Learning Environment for all Students.

For learning to be maximised, it is important for students to portray positive behaviours, accompanied with respectful and caring relationship with their peers – as portrayed by the relational school values of Care, Gratitude, and Integrity.

Discipline in SBPS

The department believes in the enactment of a positive and proactive approach to discipline in school. The school adopts a whole school approach to ensuring discipline in our students, taking guidance from the following:

·         Stude​nts learn well when there is order and discipline. At the same time, they need care, encouragement, and space to learn from mistakes and improve.

·         Discipline is an educative process, and the goal is to instil self-discipline and good character in students.

·         Disciplinary measures serve as a proxy for consequences of the poor choices made. It is not punishment, and must be meted out fairly, firmly, and appropriately.

Support for Students

The school believes in the provision of an inclusive education system with opportunities for all, recognizing that our students have different needs and a plethora of needs or issues that they face.

1.    Students with SEN

The student may have learning and behavioural difficulties, compared to their peers in the respective areas:

·         Completion of schoolwork

·         Reading and writing

·         Communicating with others

·         Making friends

·         Behaving appropriately in the presence of others

·         Learning in school due to limitations in sight, hearing, or physical mobility

·         TRANSIT Program for Primary 1 students

We believe that every child is different. Two students with the same diagnosis may be very different in terms of learning and support needs and may progress at a different pace.

At Sembawang Primary SChool, we have specialized personnel and programmes to provide the following special support catering to different levels and learning needs.

2.    Counselling

Our school counselling team will seek to engage and support students with emotional difficulties, enabling them to make positive changes in their personal development.

Together with the partnership of parents, planned and targeted intervention will be implemented for the students in the domain of social emotional development.
