Northfield PTA

Northfield has a Parent Teacher Association of which each parent and teacher is a member. To establish a viable system of education, a strong PTA is an important component. This enables the management to pool and utilize all available resources towards the individual child’s development.

The school welcomes the suggestions offered by parents and will continue to accommodate them depending on their feasibility and other factors.

Homework

Children are not burdened with a heavy load of Homework. However, when Home Assignments are given, parents must supervise their child’s/children’s work. This is essential because the process of education continues beyond school. Parents of Nursery-Grade 6 in particular are expected to check their child’s/children’s calendars and make sure that Home Assignments are completed on a regular basis.

Failure to do required work will invite detention during recess, additional assignments etc. Repeated infringements will be dealt with by the combined efforts of the school authority, parents and students concerned. Should there be after school detention, parents will be notified in advance.

Parents seeking to admit their child/children at Northfield must first necessarily agree to abide by the code of conduct. (This is important for the co-operative and mutually-effective working environment for all the students. This code of conduct is given as “RULES FOR ALL CONCERNED” in the students’ calendar. The school has the authority to remove or exclude a pupil from Northfield for any serious offences.)
