*Dear students,

On 30 Apr 2009, Ministry of Health had raised the pandemic alert level fr to Orange. With effect from Monday (04 May 09), schools will heighten health measures.

Please study the instructions carefully as they will impact you once you step into school on Monday. Do inform your parents accordingly, especially if they are fetching you to school or picking you up from school.

1. Separate Flag-Raising Ceremony on Monday (4 May 09)

The High School and College Sections will have their own Flag-raising ceremony on Monday (4 May) so that the reinforcement of the instructions can be targeted to a more specific audience.

2. Measure your Temperature BEFORE coming to school

All staff/students must measure their own temperature before coming to school. The new trigger point: 38.1C So, if your temperature is AT or More Than 38.1C, you are NOT to report to school. If you are sick, you must not come to school even if your temperature is <38.1C.

If you were in affected countries with confirmed swine flu cases (US, Mexico, S Korea or HK) during the past 7 days, please self-quarantine yourself at home till 7 days have passed.

3. Temperature Taking Exercise will be conducted EVERYDAY.

As temperature taking execise is conducted everyday, every student must carry with him/her an oral digital thermometer (ODT). You can purchase an ODT at any of the school bookstores if they still have stocks. All temperature measurements will be carried out in classrooms. HS CSE students and College students will be informed about their locations for the temperature taking exercise.

Regards,

Chung Wen Chee

Deputy Principal*

This is from the SMB. Swine Flu has been on the rise since it originated in Mexico a few weeks ago. This has led to many desperate measures have been taken to prevent a pandemic as serious as SARS. This, I feel, is essential.

What do you expect the government to do? Sit back and allow all Singaporeans to get killed? The only positive thing for non-muggers and slackers like me on a pandemic occuring is the long-term rule that we are not allowed to got to school. But then again, we will have to face danger at every corner and worry on your parents' safety. There is nothing more to say about swine flu but I certainly will elaborate on it if the situation is worsening. Byezzz~~
