We are a group of parents who have children studying in different levels in Yishun Town Secondary School and we come from different ethnic groups.
We meet regularly through formal and informal settings to share ideas and suggestions and discuss our concerns on educational issues.
Our activities are aligned to the school’s programmes and calendar of events.
We provide an invaluable avenue for two-way communication between the school and the parents.
We strongly support the Family Matters@School Programme.

FamilyMatters!@School Programme

A Programme Specially for Parents and Students of Yishun Town Secondary School

Yishun Town Secondary School has embarked on the FamilyMatters!@School Programme (formally known as School Family Education Programme) since April 2011. This programme, supported by the Ministry of Social and Family Development, is part of the school’s proactive effort to empower parents and students with the knowledge and skills to enrich and strengthen family life through the implementation of workshops, seminars and family bonding activities for the parents and students.

The FamilyMatters!@School Programme includes:

· Workshops and seminars for parents on topics such as effective parenting, social and emotional development of children and teenagers, managing work-life demands and building strong marriages;

· Programmes for students that impart values and build characters;

· Family bonding activities.

The FamilyMatters!@School Programme aims to:

· Equip parents with the skills and knowledge to enrich and strengthen their family life; and foster better parent-child understanding
and relationship to become more effective mentors and coaches;

· Empower students with life skills; skills to build healthy relationships with their peers and family; and/or imbue positive values and
attributes towards family, relationships and life in general.

Parents, you and your family are cordially invited to participate in the FamilyMatters!@School Programme! We look forward to you and your family’s participation.

Positive Parenting Programme

In order to support parents in building a healthy relationship with their child, our school embarks on the Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P) from this year. This programme is supported by Ministry of Social and Family Development and it is now used in 17 countries worldwide.

Triple P helps our students’ parents:

· Create a stable, supportive, harmonious family environment

· Teach their children the skills they need to get along with others

· Deal positively, consistently and decisively with problem behaviour should it raise

· Encourage behaviour they like

· Develop realistic expectations of their children and themselves

· Take care of themselves as parents

All Sec 1 & Sec 2 parents are eligible to participate in this programme.
