S1-S3: Instructional Programme (IP) Survey

Dear students,

The Instructional Programme (IP) Survey is conducted each year to give you the opportunity to share with the school your experience of the SST curriculum. Your feedback will help the school to review and enhance its curriculum.

This year, the IP Survey will be conducted on 15 Sep (Tue) and 16 Sep (Wed). You will be given time after flag raising to complete the survey.

In the morning of the two days, you will receive an information email indicating the subject which you need to provide your feedback on. You would only be completing ONE survey each day.

Your feedback is important to us and we want to hear from you. We hope you will provide honest and candid responses. Although your details are required, this is solely for tracking the completion of surveys. Your details will not be included when the survey results are generated for analysis.

Should you have any query, please do not hesitate to email Mr Koh Siak Peng (HOD/IP).
