SFE stands for School Family Education.  It is a programme initiated and funded by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS).  It adopts a holistic family learning model and hopes to equip parents with effective parenting skills and to train them to be parent facilitators.  It also helps school staff to enhance their family life as well as provides students with life skills training.

Research has shown that a child’s success is directly related to parental involvement.  With increased parental involvement, children tend to do better in school and exhibit positive attitudes and behaviours.

Positive & effective parenting skills to better understand their children and improve parent-child relationships.

Positive and effective martial relationship skills to better understand and enhance relationship with their spouse

Be trained as parent facilitators who will provide guidance to other parents and help to facilitate workshops and support groups that impart positive parenting skills.

The school conducted the first parenting talk entitled How to Talk So Your Teens Will Listen? on 15 April 2011.  About 100 parents attended the talk.  They found the talk beneficial and were looking forward to attend future SFE programmes.

Being an SFE school, a series of parenting talks, workshop or events will be organized specially for the parents.

Parents, do keep a look out for the upcoming SFE programmes in the school website and the publicity flyers/letters issued via students.  We strongly encourage your participation in the SFE programmes.
