About the School
CET International Primary School
Welcome to CET International Primary School
The principal aim of CET International Primary School is to provide children with an academically rigorous, intellectually stimulating and caring international community environment. We aim to cater for the individual learning needs of our children to help them achieve high academic standards.
Aware that we serve a transient community, from which pupils transfer to other schools and different school systems, we aim to ensure that transfer into and out of CET International Primary School is as smooth as possible.
Through working together in a successful and supportive learning environment children will be encouraged to develop self confidence and a sense of personal responsibility. As a learning community we learn from each other and show a caring, compassionate attitude. Thoughtfulness, cooperation, resilience, adaptability, enquiry, respect, communication and morality are the personal strengths we aim to develop in each child.
We believe that to achieve the best possible education, we need to foster a close relationship between home and school.
Your child benefits when parents and teachers work together and there are many ways in which you can support your child at CET International Primary School. We consider ourselves a very open school, so please don't hesitate to come in and visit to discuss any aspect of school life and how it affects your child.
We are very proud of our school and believe we have something special to offer. Your child has every opportunity to receive a great education and I hope that they have a very happy, rewarding and stimulating time at CET International Primary School.
We hope that our website is useful and clear. In order to strive for further improvement, we invite you to comment on the contents and on wider school issues. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at any time. We look forward to a richly rewarding time working with you and your child.

Parents
The school operates an 'Open Door' policy to encourage dialogue between teachers and parents for the benefit of children's learning. Whilst we are happy to see parents in class, it is best that these visits are planned and we would ask you to notify the secretary in advance.
Parents are always welcome to discuss anything that involves the education and welfare of their child. It is appreciated if you can make an appointment with the teacher before or after school hours. 8.30 am - 8.45 am is a time reserved for you to come into school, visit the classroom and if required make an appointment to meet with the class teacher or Head Teacher.
Parents and other volunteers from the community assist the school in a variety of ways: after school activities, school trips, special events, reading and acting as class representatives.
Parental Involvement
We try to involve the parents as much as possible in the school and the activities around it. There are regular opportunities for parents to visit school and see the work the children are doing.
Listed below are some ideas that parents may wish to consider as they share their child's school experience and promote independence:

Listed below are some ideas that parents may wish to consider as they share their child's school experience and promote independence:
- Have high expectations for your child's learning and behaviour, both at home and at school
- Praise and encourage him/her
- Emphasise effort and achievement and be a role model for getting work done before play
- Establish rules and routines in the home
- Share and monitor television and internet viewing
- Encourage your child to share information about school and respond with empathy and interest
- Read to your child or have him/her read to you every night
- Encourage older children to read, by reading yourself and by having interesting and appropriate materials available
Expectations of the School
We believe that education is three way partnership between school, the parents and the child and that in order for each child to reach their full potential, each of the partners have a role to play. Our curriculum is based on the fact that from the year in which they become 5, children will bring home homework. Children will need support to do this homework. It may be as simple as hearing them read or they may need help in finding out additional information for a topic.
As a school, we will also offer information talks for groups of parents and individual appointments for parents to talk about their child. It is the expectation of the school that parents find the time to attend these meetings as they are designed to help your child with their learning.
