SINGAPORE: Schools will reopen on Monday. 26 Nanyang Junior College students will be on leave of absence when school reopens.

For first year students who will miss their mid-year exams because of their leave of absence, they will be assessed based on their year end exam results.

JC 2 students will take their exams on another date.

Only 11 out of 175 teachers at the junior college need to take leave of absence.

And so there's no urgent need for relief teachers for now.

S Chozha Nathan, head of department, Nanyang Junior College, said: "For the next two weeks, we will have mid-year exams. These teachers not being here will not affect our operations that much because we have more than sufficient teachers to cover up for their invigilation duties and so on. So until the teaching starts, this would not be a problem.

Over at Maha Bodhi Primary School, their basement has become a restricted area.

Students who are unwell and have been to H1N1 affected countries will be sent to Infirmary A before being sent to the hospital.

Students who are unwell but have not been to affected countries or those who have been to affected countries and are not sick will wait in Infirmary B for their parents to bring them home.

Students will learn about the preventive measures against H1N1 when school reopens on Monday. - CNA/vm
