We attach great importance to home-school cooperation.
We foster close connections and mutual exchanges with parents through various channels, including face-to-face, small group, or phone meetings before and after school,
as well as open classes, parents’ day, parent volunteers, parent educational activities, school news, and bulletins.
Through these activities, parents can keep abreast of the latest school development and have a better understanding of child growth status and developmental needs in diverse aspects.
Home-school Communication
At the beginning of each semester, various forms of our school hold parents’ day on which teachers introduce to parents our curricula and daily event schedules. During the parents’ day held every semester annually, teachers will report to parents their children’s school life and learning outcomes, enabling them to have a better understanding of their children’s learning progress and needs.
Parenting
The school regularly holds various parenting activities, including workshops, parent talks, family picnics, parent volunteer scheme, among others. Through such activities, we offer some child education tips for enhancing parent education and parenting skills. In turn, parents will join hands with us to nurture children together.
Parent Volunteering
Our “Parent Volunteer Programme” invites parents to participate in activities like story telling and mooncake making, facilitating parents’ understanding in the school and their children’s learning, and establishing good home-school cooperation.

Parent Seminar on “Let kids go, let kids grow – The art of promoting young children’s self-care skills” (Videos on EDB You Tube Channel) (Conducted in Cantonese)
In fact, self-care skills are indispensable to children’s personal development and school life adaptation. With increased motor and cognitive abilities, young children become more capable to perform numerous everyday tasks by themselves. Parents can adopt various strategies to promote young children’s self-care skills. Nevertheless, some parenting practices may hamper children’s acquisition of self-care skills.
In this connection, the Education Bureau (EDB) has commissioned the Education University of Hong Kong to conduct a parent seminar during which the speaker, Dr. Sum Kwing CHEUNG, will introduce to parents what self-care skills include, and what kinds of self-care skills young children of different ages are expected to demonstrate. The speaker will also help parents understand how to teach young children’s different self-care skills step by step, and how to make use of different play activities to help children practice self-care skills in a fun manner. Finally, the speaker will discuss through case studies, what parents should and should not do in order to motivate young children to master self-care skills by themselves.
In view of the current pandemic situation, the above-mentioned seminar has been recorded and uploaded to the EDB YouTube Channel. The seminar materials, such as links to videos, PowerPoint slides and pamphlet on Tips for Parents, etc. have also been uploaded onto the EDB’s website on “Parent Education Information at Kindergarten Stage”. Parents can browse the website for relevant information via the following link and path :
