Unstructured Play

Dear Students,

Guidelines for Unstructured Play
Use of Venue
1. The use of the various venues will be based on first come first serve basis.
2. Once the number of groups allowed for each venue is fully taken up, groups that come later
will be turned away. They are not to loiter around the venue.
3. Students must register their full names and classes using the QR code provided by the
teacher on duty before they can start to play.
4. The use of the venues is only allowed during specific recess breaks (not every recess break)
and with teacher supervision. If the teacher on duty is not at the venues, students are not allowed
to start their play.  
5. No unstructured play should take place before and after school.

groups are from different classes.

Alternatively, allowed 3 groups with each group of maximum 4 students per court if all the
students in the 3 groups are from the same class
