EVERY PARENT, A SUPPORTIVE PARTNER
Parents are important partners in education as they shape the students' attitude towards learning and support their learning at home. Tampines Secondary invites every parent to play an active role in their child's education journey.
However, almost 2 years into Covid-19 pandemic and parents still have limited access to our school, due to safety measures management to ensure continued safety and well-being of students and staff. Hence, TPSS went on to adopt online and offline alternatives to engage parents and provide them with insights to their child's education journey. Our parents have also adapted well to the new arrangements.
We hope that parents value our efforts and will continue to stay connected with us.
PARENTS AS PARTNERS NETWORK (PPN)
PPN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Our school aims to be a supportive place for parents, as well as their child, to learn and grow. To do so, TPSS works with our parent support group, Parents-as-Partners Network ( PPN ) closely, to plan and design programmes for parents, with parents.
The parents in our parents support group, PPN (Parents as Partners Network), are passionate and committed. TPSS "meets" regularly with PPN Executive Committee via ZOOM to achieve synergy on collaborations that benefit both staff and students.
PPN PROGRAMMES
To promote student well-being and encourage peer support for staff and students, PPN organised a gift programme in Semester 1.
The response was overwhelming and they did another round in Semester 2. Our Tampinesian parents are truly awesome.
SUPPORTING TAMPINESIANS DURING NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS
Students with overall wellness tends to perform better and achieve success. Hence, students' well being during examination is of utmost importance to us.
PPN continually shows their support to our students through the provision of snack bar during examination period. A simple snack like a packet of oreos goes a long way to show Tampinesians that they are loved and supported, encouraging them to stay strong under pressure.
