Question 1

Classroom Etiquette

Accepted Answer

Consumption of food and drinks (apart from plain water) in the classroom is strictly prohibited.

​Students who persistently misbehave, refuse to comply with class work or vandalise FGS, is susceptible to be expelled permanently from FGS. The cost of vandalisation is liable to be paid by the parents.

Question 2

Will lessons still be conducted during public holidays?

Accepted Answer

• Classes will continue on most public holidays to maintain your child’s continuity in learning. As your child only attends lessons once a week at our centre (per subject), we want to ensure that certain good habits and routines (e.g. completion of homework that’s due the next week) are not unduly disrupted. 
 • The exceptions are (i) Chinese New Year, (ii) National Day and (iii) Christmas. Based on our experience, a majority of students at our centre have family/ other commitments on these public holidays. Hence, the centre will not be holding classes on these public holidays.
 • Make-up sessions or refund requests will not be entertained if your child has to miss a lesson on other public holidays. 
 • The exception is if there’s a religious, ethnic or cultural celebration that your child will be involved in e.g. for Deepavali or Hari Raya. In these cases, please contact the Principal to arrange for a make-up class.

Question 3

Will lessons still be conducted during school holidays e.g. Children's Day?

Accepted Answer

• Classes will continue on scheduled school holidays to maintain your child’s continuity in learning. As your child only attends lessons once a week at our centre (per subject), we should ensure that certain good habits and routines (e.g. completion of homework due the next week) are not unduly disrupted.

Question 4

Will lessons still be conducted during school vacation e.g. June break?

Accepted Answer

• Classes will continue during some school vacations, to maintain your child’s continuity in learning. As your child only attends lessons once a week at our centre (per subject), we should ensure that certain good habits and routines (e.g. completion of homework due the next week) are not unduly disrupted. 
 • While we recognise that many families will want to take overseas vacations, extended family time etc. during the school vacation periods, we seek your understanding that we will not be able to offer refunds or make-up classes for absences during the school vacation period when FGS classes are ongoing, in accordance with our make-up lesson policy.
