Tbh, this late is the last thing keeping half of the school population alive. The Sec 4s end at like what...5? everyday. It would really really suck if it was removed. If ending on 325 on the Thursday is the issue, perhaps the school can consider shifting 325 to Wednesdays as that's a rare CCA day. It really balances out the week the gives everyone an energy boost in the middle of the week. @School committee, really do consider everyone's feeling in this, not only the lower sec kids, but truly everyone(teachers, students, nonteaching staff).

Bring Back Late Start Days!!!!

Although I’m a lower sec s2 student, I really dont mind starting late and ending late. Although late start thursdays can be not good for some students, it is very beneficial for a large number of students. I personally feel that keeping the late start thursdays will allow our slee schedule to be more regular because late start days are alternated. Being able to start late on two days is really a huge privilege for majority of evg students. It gives us more time to catch up on school work and maybe even take a 10-15mins nap. As a sec 2, we have our sbb this year, so we need to put in a lot of effort to study to be able to get the combination we want. Therefore, we’re studying till late night to be able to achieve our goals. So we have a lack of sleep. I really hope that the late start thursdays will not be removed since its beneficial to many students, especially the upper secondary students.

late thursday is elite

I understand that the lower secondary students do not like being dismissed at 3:25pm but the upper secondary students (especially the Sec 4s) have a lot things that regard school so the Thursday Late Day will definitely benefit us.

imagine saying early days end earlier when we have literally cca afters, dun cancel late thurs

yes

please don't remove them... they are such a blessing

BRING BACK LATE THURSDAYS

Pls I won't survive without it

late days are the reason why i am alive and surviving upper sec. it will definitely be my 13th reason if it is taken away so pls, spare us a thought

hope the sch can continue with the late day because we have more time to sleep in, 35mins honestly can make a big difference

no late thursdays = unhappy students

I feel that if the school is considering for the sec 3 ,the school should not be removing the late day on Thursday.As sec 3s,we are trying to deal with our academics and also,due to the heavy load of homework that is no longer due a week after the subject lessons like physics and chemistry,we do not really have enough sleep that is ranged 7 hours or even above.Besides,certain classes like mine end at 3.25pm on Wednesday and we still have homework when we get home.So,if we are already ending late on the previous day ,i would suggest the school to keep the late days on Thursday.In addition,if the lower sec find that the late days are unsuitable for them,the school may want to consider to keep the late days just for the upper secs.Thank you.

please bruh

Pls bro

Why are we removing this?I believe many students enjoy 2 late days so that people can get some sleep

I'm currently a sec 4 student and I think we should definitely keep the thursday late days. In the past 3 years, when we did not have the privilege of starting late on thursdays, most of us would feel very tried and drained by wednesday. However, now that we have late starts on thursdays, we feel more energetic and have stopped dreading school on thursdays and fridays. Having these late days enable us to have more time to rest and study. I can confidently say that my grades have improved tremendously from last year as I finally have enough time to have a good night's sleep and still have time to do some revision. This is especially important to those in sports ccas as well. Some of us would have 2-4 days of training per week, resulting in us reaching home at 6-7pm. After having dinner, showering etc, it would be about 8pm, leaving only 2 hours for us to do homework and revise if we want to get the recommended 8hours of sleep, which is crucial to the cognitive and physical development of teens like us. Late days allow us to sleep on time and wake up early to do what needs to be done. Overall i found that getting more sleep has improved my mood and cognitive function a lot. In my opinion (and probably of those in upper sec as well), sec 1s have not experienced the workload and stress that us upper sec students have facing and hence do not have good judgment when it comes to whether or not these late-thursday-days are beneficial. I suggest that they make the best use of the time that they have on late days, such as spending time with friends and family and revising, studying etc before class begins instead of complaining about the situation. This is something that they will have to learn in life. I can also assure everyone that by the time the sec 1s have reached sec 3, they would be longing for the privilege of having late thurdays that we currently have now. Please reconsider the cancellation of late thursdays, thank you so much for your understanding.

I really feel like it should be back because it’s really one of the very few days where secondary 4 students can actually get sufficient sleep in the weekdays. Things are just going to get busier for us and we definitely will be sleeping later.

Pls put the late days on Thursdays and Tuesdays...at least we have some time to walk to school and not seeing bunch of students rushing to school.
