Voices of PSG
Parent Support Group provides us an opportunity to be closer to our
children and helps to understand them better. Parent school
partnership is very important in raising the children academically,
socially and to be responsible citizen. PSG plays an important role in
establishing the partnership between school and the parents. Child's
transition from primary to secondary school is big jump, their attitude
towards education, friends and society changes a lot. As a parent to
secondary child, we need to update ourselves to help them better in all
aspects.
BVSS PSG has tried its best to mingle with school by organising
parenting talks, several parent bonding activities and social services. My
Mr. Rao, journey with BVSS PSG is awesome, involvement with school PSG left a
Former PSG Chairman positive impact on my child. My 4 years of voluntary service made me
feel so close to school and other parents in the group, I love to
continue being part of PSG. As an active PSG member, it is very
satisfying to help PSG create bonding between parents and school.
Voices of PSG
I joined PSG in 2013 when my daughter was in Secondary 1. She has graduated in
2016 with lots of loving memories. In 2013 there were only 6 to 7 of us in the PSG
Team and gradually we increased to around 10 members in 2014 and now have
blossomed to more than 20 members. We’re indeed a strong and powerful Team
with dedicated parents from all walks of life. Most of these parents are working
adults who, despite of their heavy work schedule, have graciously contributed
their precious time in the growth of PSG. As a Team, we focus on supporting and
engaging parents as they guide their children through their growing years in
BVSS. In 2016, we started a WhatsApp chat group for each Sec 1 classes in which
parents will be encouraged to join the chat group together with couple of our PSG
members This WhatsApp chat group was a great success as parents were
addressing their concerns in respect of their child’s development in BVSS. It has
Ms. Paru also become a way of communication where school information, activities, class
PSG Advisor homework, etc. were discussed. Last but not least, I wish to highlight that I have
learnt a lot from our PSG Members which assisted in guiding my children in the
right path in terms of education and their personal lives. Although my child has
proudly graduated from BVSS, I will continue to support PSG whenever my time
permits.Voices of PSG
30 years ago, I joined BVSS as a student. Today, I'm a proud BVSS PSG
member. Joining BVSS PSG is my first experience because I wanted to
contribute back to the school. My son enjoys his school life in BVSS like I
used to. I'm glad that I joined. However I must admit that I initially joined
with a doubt of whether I would be able to contribute much, because I'm
like any other working mum who have our own work responsibility. Later I
found that my worry was unnecessary. A lot of our PSG members are
working mums like me and thankfully we give each other strong support.
My latest experience is preparation of gifts for teachers during Teachers
Day. Despite the short notice and busy schedule as working parents, some
of us managed to come forward and complete this project. That's how
Ms. Kristine strong our TEAMWORK is!
