A photo has surfaced online showing a notice to parents sent from Serangoon Garden Secondary School (SGSS) informing them that classes will start at 11am and finish at 5pm on July 14th instead of the usual 7:20am to 2:30pm time schedule.

The notice explained that the World cup final between Argentina and Germany was being aired on free-to-air TV that morning from 3am and the school understands that many students may want to watch the final match and therefore lose sleep.

To ensure that these students do not need to worry about early morning classes, the timetable for that day has been moved back several hours so that students can still get some sleep.

The notice said that the decision was “in line with the school’s culture of care” and that they wanted to “support pupils who are keen to watch the final”.

Singapore Sports School (SSP) is also screening the world cup final at their boarding school in Woodlands and are allowing students who attend the screening to skip training on Monday morning.

The Singapore Institute of Management is also organising for a screening of the World Cup Final at the student hub in Clementi campus. SIM is also going to be giving out vouchers to students who can predict the score accurately.
