We feel so fortunate to have our son, Jerald, enrolled at
Waterway Primary School. Even though this is a newly set up school which we did
have some reservations about at first, all our initial concerns were gone after
Jerald's first semester of school life because we see how the group of key
personnel and caring teachers are leading our son so confidently and engaging
him to enjoy his learning journey.
Communication between the parents and the
school are well-maintained and we are regularly updated on our son's progress.
We notice that Jerald has improved tremendously in his sense
of responsibility in actions and words. He also comes home from school happy
and full of stories about what he has done in school. We are constantly
astounded at the progress he is making across all aspects of his learning, from
speaking up more confidently after his Toastmasters classes to the knowledge he
gained from the pre-assembly morning sharing, as well as the teamwork he learnt
from his fun PAL lessons. The Chinese language enrichment course has also
boosted his interest in Mother Tongue. The school also organises fortnightly mass walk sessions
along the Punggol Waterway where Jerald gets to explore nature during school
hours.
I appreciate the school for giving me a chance
to participate in the Parent Volunteers programme. This programme allow us to
work closer with the key personnel, the teachers, other parents and even other
children. Being a parent volunteer is certainly an enriching experience. It has
given me a new perspective on how to be a greater and more supportive parent.
