School Safety and Security
Find out how to keep the school community safe, from traffic and visitor rules to health responsibilities for parents and students.
Management of Traffic Situation
The main entry and exit points of the school are Gate 1 and Gate 4.
Drop-off and Pick-up: All parents who need to drive into the school to drop-off/pick-up students will be issued with a vehicle entry permit for easy identification and will only be allowed to drive in on School Terms during the following timings:
Mass Arrival - 6.15am to 7.30am (Daily)
Mass Dismissal - 1.45pm to 2.00pm (Daily)
To ensure the safety of the school community, parents who drive your child to school, please take note of the following:
Reduce vehicle speed to no more than 15 km/h and stay alert for pedestrians in the school zone.
If you drive your child to school in the morning, please drop him/her at the school porch. Refrain from parking and alighting from your vehicle, as this causes traffic congestion in the morning. Please also refrain from dropping children off along CCK Ave 2, especially in the yellow box, as this causes inconvenience to other public road users. More importantly, it is not safe for your child.
Parking in school while waiting for child after school hours is not allowed for security reasons. In order to ensure there is no unauthorised entry, please help us keep the school compound safe by not driving in after school hours.
As a security measure, CCKPS has implemented the car decal for ease of identifying authorised vehicles when gaining entry to our school compound. Parents who are dropping off students at the foyer in the morning should request a decal to be displayed on the windscreen. This drop-off arrangement is allowed only in the morning and at dismissal, and during term time only. Vehicles without CCKPS decal may be refused entry into school even for drop-off in the morning. Please access this link https://go.gov.sg/carparkdecal (opens in new tab) for the request of a decal.
Visitor Parking
For the safety and security of our students and staff, all unauthorised vehicles will not be allowed entry into the school premises.
Parents and other visitors on official visit to the school may park in visitor lots, marked in white, subject to availability.
During inclement weather, parents will be allowed to drop-off / pick-up from school regardless of time.
All visitors will be issued with Visitor Pass/Coloured stickers during registration at the Guard Post. These must be worn at all times while in the school premises for easy identification.
Visitors to the School
Visitors/contractors/vendors/volunteers are to report to the Security Guard Post to sign-in and a Visitor Pass will be issued for easy identification by the school staff. The Visitor Pass must be prominently displayed on the external parties while in the school premises. They are to report to the General Office regardless of the official reasons for their visit and they should not move beyond the General Office, unless accompanied by school staff. Parents are strongly encouraged to make prior appointments with teachers before coming to the school as teachers are likely to be engaged during the school hours.

Health & Social Responsibility
Unwell Students
If a student is unwell and needs to be sent home early, parent should fetch their child from school and seek medical attention if necessary. Please keep the Form Teacher updated on your child's well-being after a medical consultation. Every student should have a stand-by mask for use if he/she suddenly feels unwell in school. As part of our collective social responsibility, we request that parents keep their child at home if they are unwell, to protect the well-being of other students and staff. Together, we can create a healthy and safe environment for every student and staff in our school.
For infectious diseases such as Hand, Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD)/Chicken Pox/Measles, obtain a medical clearance certificate from the doctor before the child returns to school.
Thermometer
Every student is to ensure that he/she has a working thermometer in his/her pencil case and brought to school every day. This is to educate students to take personal responsibility for their own health and practice social responsibility. Your child has to take his/her temperature before the start of the school day when he/she feels unwell or during an outbreak. Please remind your child to check and replace batteries or purchase a new thermometer if necessary. There will be a yearly Attendance and Temperature-Taking Exercise conducted. This is to maintain schools' preparedness to re-activate the attendance and temperature-taking regime should there be a need to.
Personal Hygiene
Students are expected to take charge of their own personal hygiene and health. We would like to work together with parents to impress upon the children the importance of washing their hands with soap and water before meals. Where tap water is unavailable, students are encouraged to use their personal hand sanitiser to keep their hands clean.
Declaration of Medical Conditions
Parents must notify Form Teachers and Year Heads of any life-threatening medical conditions affecting their child, including but not limited to severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), epilepsy, and asthma. Parents bear full responsibility for ensuring their child carries the appropriate medication kit (inhalers, EpiPens, oral medications, etc.) to school each day and to all school-organised activities, regardless of timing or location. Additionally, parents must work with the school personnel to establish proper protocols for medication administration when required.
