School Open House - 23 Nov 2024
During the Hillgrove Secondary School Open House in November 2024, the Parent Support Group (PSG) played an active role in welcoming visitors and showcasing the school’s vibrant community. We accompanied prospective students and their parents on guided tours, highlighting the school’s facilities and programmes. Along the way, we also warmly engaged with families, answering questions and sharing our experiences, helping visitors gain a better understanding of what Hillgrove has to offer. Our presence added a personal touch to the event, making guests feel welcomed and informed.
Green@Hillgrove - 26 Oct 2024
PSG members were there to support the annual Green@Hillgrove. Members accompanied Secondary Two students to go to different blocks to collect recyclable items such as newspapers, clean clothing and small electrical appliances. After the collection, the Secondary Two students and PSG set up their stalls at the mini green carnival at the HDB void deck to promote environmental messages to the residents with exhibitions and DIY game stalls. PSG members also shared their experience of making the DIY pouches that were made for Staff Appreciation Day.
PSG Appreciation Lunch - 19 Oct 2024
Today marks the closing chapter for the PSG ExCo 2024 as we prepare to pass the baton to the incoming PSG ExCo 2025. To honour the dedication and hard work of the outgoing team, the school graciously hosted a special lunch and presented appreciation certificates to the “graduating” PSG ExCo members. It was a heartfelt gesture that recognized the countless hours and effort put in to support our school community.
A big thank you to the PSG ExCo 2024 for your unwavering commitment and contributions. Your impact will continue to inspire us as we move forward!
Parent-Child Bonding Day - 4 Oct 2024
We gathered here with a shared purpose – to celebrate the incredible bond between parents and children, a bond defined by unconditional love, support, and joy. What better way to do so than with a BBQ session shared with our loved ones! Even the rainy evening couldn’t dampen our spirits. Together, members and their teens enjoyed a fantastic time filled with delicious food, fun games, and laughter. We were also delighted and honored to have our Principal, Mrs. Tan, and Mr. Chia join us to grace this memorable occasion.
Staff Appreciation Day - 29 Aug 2024
The Parent Support Group (PSG) at Hillgrove Secondary School deeply appreciates the dedication and care shown by the staff. To express our gratitude, we prepared a special celebration for Staff Appreciation Day. Our team worked diligently over two months to create unique, upcycled DIY pouches. Made from repurposed plastic packaging, these pouches symbolize our commitment to sustainability and the thoughtful effort we put into every gift.
In addition to the pouches, the PSG ExCo organised a heartfelt musical performance, featuring songs and dance. Carefully choreographed, this performance was a labour of love, aiming to reflect the joy and energy that the staff brings to our children’s lives every day.
Preparing to sing like a pro!
