In response to CNA’s queries, a school spokesperson acknowledged that the message was sent by a teacher in a class chat but said it was issued \u201cout of concern for our students\u2019 well-being while reminding students to be responsible in their online activities”.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reminder was not meant to discourage students from sharing their views or offering feedback through appropriate channels, nor were any students penalised or reprimanded for voicing their opinions,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
The school said it would work with teachers to ensure that messages to students are \u201cconveyed clearly\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe value our students\u2019 perspectives and encourage them to share their thoughts directly with the school so that concerns can be addressed constructively. Any media engagement involving students is coordinated with the school and parents to safeguard students\u2019 well-being,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
The new school meals are part of a hybrid canteen model launched on Jan 2 in partnership with SATS. It was designed to tackle the problem of long queue times during meal breaks and address sector-wide manpower shortages affecting canteen operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
