The importance of school-home partnership and how parents can connect with the
school & MOE
1) You are the key navigator of your child’s/ward’s
growth.
2) Your child/ward will benefit the most when we
understand our shared responsibilities for your
child/ward and work together to bring out the best in
him/her.
3) Effective parenting cannot occur in isolation from
the school
4) We would like to partner you to develop your
child/ward to be the best that he or she can be.

So how can you be involved in your child’s/ward’s education?
Here are some tips that you could consider to support
your child’s/ward’s learning:
•Praise your child’s/ward’s good efforts, and not only
his/her successes.
•Don’t dwell on mistakes and academic marks. Rather,
always encourage your child/ward to strive for
improvement.
•Give your child/ward the confidence to seek help from
his/her teacher.
