This event was spearheaded by Mr James Teo - a GESS PTA father. The signed up which was via a link in http://tinyurl.com was very fast. The 20 pairs slots were filled up within 24 hours, and the majority were secondary one fathers. This is the first time that the MOE Parent Gateway pg.moe.edu.sg was also used to disseminate the information in addition to the usual hard copy letters being issued. This platform enables the information to be directed to the parents' mobile phones through an App. This could perhaps explain the fast signed up rate.
At the event, three pairs of father and child came in similar design T-shirts . A good show of strong bonding! Daryl of Class 2C came with his father, Mr K.K. Thoe because they had thoroughly enjoyed bonding over other events organised by the PTA. Mr Khoe said with a smile that his wife is now feeling "left out".
