GESS will be moving to a new portal system in mid-July. Until then, new families can access orientation and start of school information on this temporary page.
Parent Portal
Orientation (Temporary Portal)
Before school starts essential checklist
Below are the essential tasks that must be completed before the start of school. Please take some time to review the tasks and contact your admissions officer if you have any questions.
Parent Portal is the information hub for parents and students. Please spend some time reviewing the information especially:
- Materials list
- School bus - please contact the school bus office before signing the lease
- Orientation webinars
- Help for parents
- Help for students
We need a digital clear photo of your child on a white background for their student ID card. We cannot print the student ID card until we have received this. The student ID card is used to access the campus and pay for food at the canteen.
The photo must be:
- White background
- JPG / PNG format
- Portrait
- Minimum 640 pixels tall x 480 pixels wide
Update your address or temporary Singapore address and phone number to contact you during the first week of school.
If your family is new to Singapore or your child is a Student's pass holder, please make sure you submit one of the following before the start of school:
- In-Principle Approval letter (IPA)
- Digital photograph front and back of the green immigration card
Your child cannot start school without a valid pass (Dependant's pass, Student's pass, Diplomatic pass, Immigration Exemption Order, Long-Term Visit Pass with Letter of Consent from ICA, Singapore Permanent Resident or Singapore citizenship).
