Attendance Matters

Hello everyone,

Please remember to follow the procedures regarding attendance for training. The procedure is the same as before:

1. Those who are not able to come for a certain training due to a pre-planned event (e.g. surgery, Merit CCA, etc) must produce an excuse letter or MC (photocopies allowed) with the training excuse form personally to either Li Hong or Vatsal(for this coming week) before that training itself.
2. Those who are sick and absent from school on Monday or Wednesday, or are sick in the middle of that school day (and then leave school), call Li Hong or Vatsal. Submit the training excuse form together with the MC (photocopies allowed).
3. Those who are sick (e.g. indigestion) and would like to leave school at 1515, proceed to the SR Block, and report to Jeremy, who will assess the condition and decide whether or not you may leave training. Submit the training excuse form.

We are taking very seriously those who skip training without following the proper procedure. Failure to follow the proper procedure and skip training will result in you being considered absent for that training in question. Remember that attendance counts heavily in your promotion, and is a good indication of your commitment to the unit and your self-discipline. Same goes for competition supports and all other events (refer to Points 1 and 2). If there are any queries on the attendance reporting procedures, please feel free to clarify.

For those who were unable to attend CAC support, please submit your training excuse form together with proper documentation by Monday (19 July).

Also, please take note what does or does not constitute as a suitable reason for not attending training or an event. As you should know, the training excuse form requires a form of written proof (e.g. teacher's letter for RE/project matters, parent's letter for personal matters, MC for ailments, etc). Unless supported by a teacher's letter, project meetings are not an excuse for not coming.
