Parents

Parents are the first teachers of their children.

We think of teachers as parents at school and parents as teachers at home.

Teacher – Parent partnership in the learning process in school is therefore for a child’s performance in school, as many studies have confirmed. We strive to partner with our students’ parents at every opportunity.

Some initiatives involving parent participation and interaction are:

New Parent Orientation

New parents attend orientation programmes at the beginning of each academic year to understand school’s expectations and practices.

Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)

Formal PTMs happen four times a year.
The first one happens at the end of the first month of the academic year. The objective is to set expectations for the year and share some quick feedback.

The remaining three happens at the end of every term along with report card & teacher comments. Apart from the discussions on student performance in term exams, various student improvements and behaviors are shared. By interacting with the parents, the teachers learn more about the child and are, therefore, able to respond to his/her learning needs. PTMs ensure that the teachers and parents work together to ensure that all needs of the child are catered to.

Parent Volunteers

Parents are invited to be part of school events and performances. Parents contribute their artworks for display during an art exhibition. They volunteer during cultural performances for event management/student make-up/choreography and participate in field trips.

Parent Sports Day

Parents sports day is conducted once a year, before the School sports day.

Parents can complete in individual and team events from athletics, volleyball, football (5 a side), etc. Sports skills are part of the events too. For example, penalty kick (football), longest dribbling (basketball) are also part of the events, so that a parent has an opportunity to be part of the events without knowing the entire game.

The goal of such an event is to get parents to improve their fitness & health, and to have our students see their parents play.
