If the child is unwell, parents are advised to bring the child to a doctor and submit the medical certificate (MC) to the school. A parent’s letter is usually acceptable if the child needs an extra day to recover from an existing illness. Letters from parents should be issued minimally, and we strongly encourage parents to seek professional medical advice for instances where the child’s symptoms are frequent, persistent and/or more severe, and require absence for 2 days or more.

Students should travel overseas only during the school holiday periods as published by MOE. This is so our Rosythians learn to follow a routine for learning right from a young age and do not miss out on participating in school experiences with their peers. Frequent absences can have a significant impact on a student’s academic progress, personal development, and overall school experience.

Parents may wish to note that frequent or extended absences also affect the children’s school attendance record and impact their conduct grade. We seek your strong support and commitment to ensuring your child’s attendance in school.
