Student ID Card FAQs
ID cards were introduced during the academic year of 2016-2017 to help monitor safety and security of the students. ID cards were improved to be used as a payment method in the Cafeteria and the Uniform Shop. Attendance for secondary school was implemented and future enhancements will include the rest of the schools.
