Help and Support Staff from the A-Level programme and the Student Services Department offer assistance to students in the areas of academic and personal counselling. At the programme level, each student is assigned an academic staff member as mentor. Mentor-Mentee System Each lecturer in our A-Level programme is assigned a number of mentees who become recipients of pastoral care throughout their studies. At the outset, this system fosters the forging of meaningful relationships between lecturers and students, and promotes the close monitoring of students’ overall progress. The system also identifies each mentor as a capable and ready resource person for counsel pertaining to choice of career and placement in appropriate universities. Mentors are responsible for processing all applications made by their mentees, including the writing of references and testimonials. On a broader level, the mentor-mentee system helps guide the overall social, emotional and mental development of the student body. Parents’ Day Parents’ Day is held every semester to enable parents and guardians to meet with lecturers and discuss academic and personal development of each student. This will enable parents / guardians and lecturers to work together to help the student develop his / her full potential. Progress Reports Progress reports are evaluative reports written by each subject lecturer. These reports are an important means of letting parents know about the student’s progress. The programme regards parental involvement and home support as critical factors in helping students improve. Two reports are sent in the first semester and one after each of the mock examinations. Extracurricular Activities There are many extracurricular activities available to all students in the institution under the Student Services Department. Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activity as it provides a more wholesome development of the student. It may also enhance a reference or testimonial. A-Level Student Council (ALSCO) ALSCO is a group of committed, bright and creative young people who are the voice of the A-Level students. Each class is represented by a member of the ALSCO. Among the events that ALSCO has organised are the A-Level Ball, traditional costume day, Sports Carnival and charity events to raise funds for the less fortunate and needy. Being in the ALSCO teaches members to be more tolerant and understanding of different races, creeds and colour. Members of ALSCO also learn to come out of their comfort zone and achieve their full potential of being leaders. ALSCO members strive to be role models and set good examples for their fellow course mates. For the selection process, applicants are required to fill up a form about their previous extracurricular activities in secondary school. After that, an existing ALSCO member will interview the applicants personally before the applicants are shortlisted to be interviewed by the Coordinator, the advisor to ALSCO. Committee meetings are held weekly to discuss and plan events or social gatherings. If you are responsible, committed and prepared to be a leader, ALSCO wants you! Student Attendance Although attendance is not part of the evaluation process in the A-Level programme there is a high correlation between attendance and achievement and it is likely that a student who has a high degree of absenteeism will be doing poorly. Attendance is a priority and is monitored and recorded diligently. Students who miss five or more classes will be reported to the Director of Programme and parents or guardians will be informed. Persistent absence from class may result in the student being excluded from classes unless approved by the Director of Programme. Student Punctuality Lateness is not only disruptive to others but also adversely affects effective class participation. Chronic lateness will be treated similarly to frequent absences and will be reflected in the student’s final mark. It is within the subject teacher’s prerogative to deny access to class to chronic latecomers and treat the denied access as an absence. If a student knows he / she will be absent for lessons, he / she must produce a parent’s letter to state the reasons and proposed absenteeism dates in advance of the leave of absence. Academic Counselling If a student is found to be too far behind in the syllabus and unable to catch up due to lack of attitude / aptitude then he / she is to be counselled to drop the subject. If two or more lecturers agree he / she lacks the ability to cope, after the mid-semester report, he / she will be counselled to change programme as deem appropriate.
