Student Care Centres in Singapore
Besides academic supervision and support, most SCC also provide a good range of enrichment programmes and activities that engage children with learning and develop his or her character.
SCCs recruit volunteers, ex-teachers, retired teachers or qualified professionals with teaching or tuition experience. SCC situated in the school will sometimes engage volunteers to help out in the centres.
Research has shown that having suitably qualified and trained student care programme staff would often determine the quality of its programmes.
Recommended by ECDA, all SCC staff should meet the following basic qualifications.
a. Supervisors
Supervisors oversee the day-to-day running of the centre and are responsible for programme planning, curriculum development and staff supervision.
SCC supervisors should have
- at least 5 GCE ‘O’ level credits including English Language
- a valid first aid certificate
- training in children’s services from training agencies
b. Programme staff
Programme staff perform multiple roles in student care development as well as in programme planning and implementation.
Programme staff should have
- at least 5 GCE ‘O’ level credits
- received training related to school-age children. In the absence of the supervisor, an experienced programme staff would have to oversee the smooth running of the SCC in the capacity of an assistant supervisor.
STAFFING-TO-CHILD RATIO/STAFF REQUIREMENT
It is strongly recommended that a staff-to-child ratio of 1:25 is maintained at all times. There should be at least 2 staff members in the SCC at all times. This is to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the students are not left unattended while one of the staff responds to the emergency.
Hours of Operation
SCC should operate as follows:
Monday – Friday 7.30am or earlier to 6.30pm or later
Saturday 7.30am or earlier to 1.30pm or later
Closed on Sundays and gazetted public holidays.
Centres may observe half-days on the eves of any 3 public holidays.
In addition, centres may close for a maximum of 5 ½ days in a calendar year.
SCCs are encouraged to open at extended hours to support the needs of working parents.
School-based SCC providers should also familiarise themselves with their school’s calendar of events. This is to help them organise and plan their programme to complement the school.
In addition, SCC providers should keep the parents informed of the planned closure days through their parents’ handbook, and alert them closer to the day of the planned closure through a circular.
