- Took photographs of all the cigarette packs.
3. General Almost all homerooms are not decorated. The CD posters have been put up in almost all homerooms. But teachers should be encouraged to put up the rest of the necessary items.
Green Flags - cleanliness of school compound is comparatively better eg. no sght of plastic bottles, dirty plasticbags etc. Homerooms were all orderly an furniture arranged neatly. - classes small and students wer mostly engaged ie. doing work or generally attentive to teaching
Red flags - Class / students having PE in parade square were very loud. They could be heard as far as at the far end of G-block 4th floor. Suggestion: If a noisy game is to be played and noise is anticipated, class should be moved away to indoor sports hall? - Student sitting out of class (Mei / Charis / Cindy's EL class). He looked liked he was sent out. One of the teachers could have taken the opportunity to speak with him or engage him as there were 3 in the homeroom. He was fidgeting with his mobile when I saw him.
Others - Many students (mainly lower sec) were gathered outside Library

Green Flags - No students were seen loitering along corridor or going to the washrooms. - Students were engaged in their respective classes...either listening or doing work assigned to them.
Red Flags - Litter can be seen on parapets of Blk C and D facing the HDB blocks. Very unsightly. - There were a lot of dead leaves and branches on rooftop of container. Very unsightly. This can also be possible breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Green Flag - went in to relief Sec 102 from 0840hrs - they were generally engaged with work set by Mdm Shanti - went through the work with them and conducted a mini dialogue session with the class - pleasantly surprised to find out that one of the student's mother (was my senior in Ping Yi) and her aunt (was my classmate in Ping Yi too!) - will work at getting them involved in PSG and Alumni - The Sec 102 students are generally happy with the school and have good things to say about their teachers and seniors
Red Flag - Brandon Cheang and Tan Jing Yong from 422 were caught going to the canteen at 0910hrs during their EL lesson. Escorted them back to class at 0915hrs - some students are still seen sleeping in class during the lesson (teachers need to be reminded during staff contact)
I had not being putting up for comment for weeks due to relief duty due to dept members on course or MC- do not have the luxury of co-teaching in my dept. I sincerely hope to be able to perform duty this coming Monday. Fingers cross. Had done my walkabout on some other occasions.
Genral observation 1. GREEN flags
Most classes were engaged in the lessons. Co-teaching is useful especially the co-teacher assists to mainytain discipline and/or guide the weaker students to keep up the pace of learning instead.
As the doors of the classrooms were not locked, I had witnessed a number of times the whole class was self engaged in revision/doing homework/reading a story book in the classroom (against the procedure of waiting outside classroom for teacher) while waiting for teacher to come. Kudos
Teachers were appreciative when we came to manage the very difficult student/s to allow them to teach the majority who were keen to learn.
Picked up a couple of classroom teaching /management tips from fellow colleagues (even the new teachers)
2. RED flags
Students had been playing hide and seek with us in the various spot for smoking- Various toilets, 2 side corridors & staircase of the hall, behind the stage of the hall.
Students did not move as a class during the shift for one homeroom to another especially before and after pe lesson.
Teachers should place the student/s within line of sight who was/were sent out of the class. Worksheet should still be given to get the student engaged.
As the soccer field (away from classrooms) is unavailable, teaching area for PE lesson is limited especially during adverse weather or periods with 4 classes of PE going on, the noise level at the period square is a issue.
3. Any other observations.
Although classroom is allocated for PE theory lesson, some classrooms were hijacked by a few teachers who chose to split the class for better teaching delivery.
1. GREEN flags - Sec 1 left the canteen promptly after the whistle was blown. Keep up the good job. - Most classes were engaged.
2. RED flags - Went in to assist Mdm Annie Cheong to manage 2 disruptive boys from class 111 who had been giving her problems for the past few weeks. Boys were removed from class to allow lesson to continue. RP was conducted and in-house suspension of 1 hour was carried out by me before the boys were assessed ready to be back for lesson. Will follow up the progress of the 2 boys.
- The lighting in the hall was not controlled by the switches at the stage and hence light could not be switch off even when no one was using it.
1. GREEN Flags - IPW students were engaged in the activities that they were assigned. Teachers were seen being involved in the activities with the students.
2. RED Flags - Litter seen at the back of the stage in the hall. - Outdoor learning space (Circle Time) were littered. The cupboard door at the vicinity was damaged and dislodged from the lever.
Green Flags - corridors were generally clean - students engaged in class
Red Flags - some classrooms were still very bare.... Blk C. - boys toilet, canteen basins have no hand soap (students' personal hygiene need to be supported) - NE poster outside of library has dropped - HOD room false ceiling that have dropped has not been replaced for almost 3 months - no general noticeboard for students information
