I am thankful for all the support and assistance that the school

relationships that I have forged with all the SKGians and

in my journey as both a leader and as a student, allowing me to

(LKY-ARE)
“In school, the principals and teachers always acted as a
pillar of support for us. When we stumbled, you
supported us and gave us the motivation to persevere.
When we erred, you would forgive us t learn from it. It is
because of the unconditional support I received from the
teachers that I managed to grow to become a better
person. I believe that without the school’s care and
guidance, I would not have received this award.”

68TRANSITING TO PRIMARY 1
• A smooth transition is made when your child:
o feels safe and comfortable in their new environment.
o is able to manage the daily challenges of school life.
69HOW CAN I PREPARE MY CHILD
FOR PRIMARY 1?
• Parents often feel that literacy and numeracy are important
foundations for primary school. However, studies have shown that
academic preparation alone does not guarantee a smooth transition
for children.
• Over-preparation in academic areas is at the expense of adequate
preparation in other areas such as socio-emotional learning and
motor skills.
• Research is also clear that socio-emotional competencies are
beneficial for better coping during transitions and for progressing
through school. (Margetts, 2014)
