Facilities Team 

The new Campus Access Management System has been in operation for 8 weeks, and we extend our sincere gratitude for your support and cooperation in adopting this initiative, which is designed to enhance campus security. During this period, we have received feedback from community members regarding certain issues, including the registration for pick up personnel, facial recognition at both outdoor and indoor devices.

1. Strong sunlight exposure at specific angles causing facial overexposure.
2. Shadows caused by hats leading to distorted facial information.
3. Wearing sunglasses.
4. Insufficient resolution or improper format of the originally submitted photo.
5. Confusion about the new access policy

Regarding Items 4 and 5 above, please do not hesitate to visit the Service Center if you require assistance—such as re-uploading photos or seeking clarification on the access policy.
We would like to reiterate that the access management methods communicated to parents on August 8 remain unchanged:

• For School Fence Gate #1, #2, #3

1. Parents swipe school ID cards to enter to ensure card-wearing on campus.
2. Non-parent pick-up persons must be authorized by parents and present a valid QR code for scanning and passage.
3. Faculty, students, and non-parent board members enter using facial recognition or card swiping.
4. Visitors must register using an invitation code for entry.

• For the Fitness Room, Pool Changing Rooms, and the Centre Main Entrance to Campus:

1. Staff/Faculty/Students/Parents shall all use facial recognition for access.
2. Non-parent pick-up persons shall continue to use an authorized pick-up QR code for scanning and passage.
