Parents awarded by Mrs Wong Siew Shan, Principal, Elias Park Primary School
On the last day of school in 2006, Nov 18th , it was the Awards day. It's a special day as students who have been performing were rewarded for their hardwork and dedication. Parents came to show their support for their children. It was a heart warming sight as you see students and parents beaming with pride.
As parents, we celebrate every single one of our children's success regardless whether it big or small. It is our responsibility to inspire and support them.
There are parents who went beyond helping and supporting their own children and actually gave time and effort to help pther people's children by giving extra tuition and enrichment classes. The school showed their appreciation to the parent support group by awarding them with a special PSG award. It's is indeed an very honourable thing to do. Most parent volunteers will tell you that they get alot of satisfaction from doing it.
Most times, they get satisfaction from their charges thanking them and showing appreciation. Other times, their charges' parents thank them for their help. It take a special person/s to want to give their time to help others.
We lead a very fast paced lifestyle in Singapore, many a times, we are too busy with our lives to think of other people. Most people say they are too busy but these parent volunteers without expecting any rewards or personal gratifications still continue to teach, support and motivate other people's children. They deserve our respect.

ReplyDeleteThere are many benefits when parents are involved in their children's lives and education. Research has shown that the most accurate predictor of a student's achievement in school is not income or social status, but the extent to which the student's parents are able to:
* create a home environment that encourages learning;
* communicate high, yet reasonable expectations of their child's achievement and future career
* become involved in their child's education at school and in the community.
So to the parents who are exploring the idea of volunteering in Elias Park Primary and in turn, value-adding to your child's school expecrience, we look forward to your coming on board and journeying with us on this exciting trip!
