Three students in school uniforms work through open books at a classroom table, with textbooks and stationery nearby and study notes on the whiteboard behind them.

Where Can I Find My School’s Student Handbook and Rules?

Start with MOE SchoolFinder to reach your school’s official website, then look under “Students”, “Parents”, “School information”, “Publications” or “Student handbook”. A current example is West Spring Primary School’s 2026 student handbook page.

For secondary school rules, use the handbook issued by the student’s own school. Damai Secondary School’s student handbook page, for example, routes students to its current rules, academic guidance, student-development information and safety instructions. Another school may organise these topics differently.

Did you know the handbook may not be the final word for every date or activity? Check the edition year, then compare it with current school letters and Parents Gateway notices. If the latest handbook is not public, ask the General Office where the school currently publishes rules for the student’s level.

What to check in the handbook

Confirm the edition and audience

Check the year on the cover or download page and whether the material applies to the whole school, one level or a new-student intake. A Primary 1 parent guide can be useful without replacing the general handbook, while a Secondary 1 registration letter may add reporting instructions that do not apply to older students.

Separate standing rules from live notices

Uniform expectations, attendance procedures, safety rules and assessment principles may sit in the handbook. Dates, reporting venues, CCA sessions, examination arrangements and one-off events may be updated through a school letter, the website or Parents Gateway. Keep the current notice beside the relevant handbook section.

Read the section that matches the question

If the question concerns absence, read the attendance procedure before sending a message. For assessment, check the school’s grading, examination and promotion information. For devices, use the school’s acceptable-use or PLD rules. Similar wording at another school is not authority for your child’s school.

Ask when two instructions appear to conflict

Save the page or notice titles and their dates, then contact the school through its published channel. Ask which instruction applies to the student’s level and current school year. This is more reliable than choosing the document that happens to appear first in search results.

Your next step

Open your school’s official website, locate the newest handbook or student guide, and record where current notices are issued. If you cannot find the latest version, ask the General Office for the correct route.

Explore the connected learning guides

Choose the question that brought you here. Open one useful guide, try a small task, and stop when you have what you need.

Take one question further

The same learning habit can travel across subjects, while each subject keeps its own methods. These routes help you notice a difficulty, understand one part of it, and return to something you can do.

A word is familiar, but using it is difficult.

Move from recognising a word to retrieving it in a new context. Understand vocabulary plateaus.

Try it without the guide: Choose one word you already know. Close the guide and use it in a new sentence. Explain why it fits; try another context tomorrow.

A piece of writing has ideas, but the reader loses the thread.

Make the order of events and the links between sentences clear. Explore composition writing.

Try it without the guide: Choose one short paragraph. Read the relevant explanation, close it, and revise the paragraph. Ask someone to tell you what happened and why.

The Mathematics seems familiar, but marks still disappear.

Find the first point where the working stops being reliable. Find Secondary 4 A-Math mark leakage.

Try it without the guide: For a Secondary 4 A-Math question you have attempted, locate the first uncertain line. Repair that step, then try a comparable question without the worked answer.

A Science fact is remembered, but the explanation is incomplete.

Connect the evidence to a scientific idea and the resulting change. Follow the Primary Science learning route.

Try it without the guide: Choose a familiar Primary Science example. Explain the evidence, the idea and the result without notes. Then change one condition and explain your prediction.

Two accounts of the world seem to disagree.

Check the question, source, date and evidence before combining claims. Explore the World Knowledge research library.

Try it without the guide: Take one claim. Find the source best placed to support it, note its date, and state what remains uncertain. Return to your original question.

There is plenty of help, but independence is hard to see.

Check what the learner can understand and do after support is removed. Understand how education works.

Try it without the guide: Choose one small task the child has practised. Agree on a calm, brief attempt without prompts. Use what happens to choose one next step, then stop.

For the structure behind these connections, read the eduKateSingapore runtime manifest and the eduKate ecosystem boot contract. The reader map describes public navigation; those manifests preserve the wider ownership and return rules.
