Ang Mo Kio Secondary School

Pretty unique shade of green/ turquoise? Hopefully I added the badge at the right area!

Background Information

Ang Mo Kio Secondary School (Abbreviation: AMKSS) is a government co-educational secondary school in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore, covering levels Secondary 1 to Secondary 5 (normally ages 12 to 17 approx.). Students at AMKSS are known as AMKsians.

Behavioural standards are maintained through the use of a merit/demerit points system. Each student starts with 75 points. Demerit points are awarded for minor misbehaviour, and a girl who reaches 55 points is put in detention for five days; a boy receives corporal punishment from the Discipline Master.

For major offences, including truancy, smoking and vandalism, girls serve several detentions and boys are always caned in front of their classmates for a first offence, and in front of an assembly of the whole school for a second offence. The cane strokes (usually two or three) are delivered to the seat of student's trousers or shorts. Major offenders also receive counselling, are issued six demerit points, and are placed under the Student Reformative Programme for a period of time as stipulated by the Discipline Committee.

There is also a Peer Mediation Programme for the resolution of disputes.
