To enhance the security of our students and staff, an access control system was installed on all doors in the School, including classrooms, offices, storerooms and common areas such as the canteen, auditorium, and library, etc. The system limits access to relevant individuals depending on the room, facilities, and intended use. This upgrade was completed at the end of January 2023.
At the end of January, we commissioned the building of three new main entrances to the School that will function in addition to the main perimeter gates. To maintain the safety of the School, only permitted individuals will be allowed through the gates.
The senior playground was expanded to reach the M Block, opening up a large area that can be used for PE and other outdoor activities. Completed at the end of August 2023, the project was handled by an experienced curator with global experience.
Since our internal asphalt driveway needed relaying, the School teamed up with AGC Innovate to devise a green solution. The result was Plastic Modified Asphalt Concrete, which incorporates a portion of recyclable plastic into traditional asphalt mixtures.
With the addition of the new ground, we installed a subsurface drain network along with concrete perimeter storm water drains to ensure that stormwater is properly and efficiently drained.
A CCTV system was installed around the entire perimeter of the School to enhance security.
Both rooms were installed with acoustic panels made of aesthetic and lightweight materials.
A security complex was completed and operated in the first week of January 2023, when the School reopened. This building is fully fitted out with screening equipment, including baggage scanning machines and a CCTV monitoring room, providing a dedicated driveway for student drop off and safe entry to the school premises.
Watering the grounds is difficult and time consuming; hence we invested in an automatic sprinkler system that was installed along the perimeter of the senior playground. The system was designed to uniformly and efficiently distribute water to every part of the ground, considerably reducing water usage.
