Our resumption time remains 7:30am and all pupils are expected to be in school early so as to actively participate in our morning activities. Pupils must ensure that regular and prompt attendance is maintained to ensure overall success; those who arrive late miss out on learning activities. Consistent morning routines are imperative to building a child's independence, balance and confidence. Taking holidays during school period should be avoided due to the impact of absence on children's learning and achievement. Schooling is viewed as a priority in HHS hence, daily attendance is expected except in cases of illness or emergency.
Our continuous assessment is an essential part of the assessment for the term and it accounts for 30% of the total scores. The assessment dates are structured to ensure a smooth flow of activities in the school. Consequently, tests will not be done before or after the scheduled dates; absences within the assessment periods are not allowed except in cases of illness which must be supported by a medical report.
Homework is an integral part of learning, which unites the home and school. Homework will consolidate and reinforce skills and understanding, particularly in Literacy and Numeracy and extend school learning through additional reading, projects, learning of tables or practicing spelling. We encourage parents to make out quality time to build a sustainable study habit in their children. Our children will get better when teachers and parents work together.
Pupils should come to school daily looking prim and proper in the school’s uniform/sportswear, clean socks and shoes/canvass and with well-cut finger nails. Boys are expected to wear a well-groomed hair; no afro and stylish haircuts and girls should braid their hair and ensure that it is always neat.
