- Event Coordination Support: Provide operational and hands-on setup support for school events, sports days, parent-teacher evenings, and text-book/stationery distribution cycles.
- Inter-Departmental Liaison: Act as an operational link between the uniform shop, finance office, facility management, and academic staff to facilitate smooth campus workflows.
