Work-life Balance

As an institution founded on Christian principles, we acknowledge and respect the other facets of our employees’ lives and have, therefore, created policies and structures that will enhance their ability to balance the pressures of life.

  • We strictly adhere to our resumption and closing hours – 8.30a.m and 5.00p.m respectively for full-time staff and encourage staff to work efficiently within the specified work times.
  • We have on-site childcare in a well-equipped crèche by professional caregivers to take care of our employees’ babies while they are at work.
  • We respect the spiritual lives of our employees and have, therefore, provided an in-house praying ground for Muslims, and a chapel for Christians. For the Catholics among us, mass is held twice a week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 7.45a.m before work resumes.
  • Our women are entitled to 14 weeks of maternity leave, and the men are entitled to a paternity leave of five working days. Upon resumption from maternity leave, the nursing mothers are allowed to resume an hour later and close early for three months.
  • The School shuts down mid-December every year so staff can spend the Yuletide with family and friends, except for essential services personnel. This is in addition to paid leave time off during the year.
