Safety First
The parents at Townsville Primary adopt a hands-on
approach to ensure the safety of their children.
They volunteer as traffic wardens, and collaborate
with the school, the Land Transport Authority, the
Ang Mo Kio Community Development Council and the
police to maintain a Safe Drive Zone along Ang Mo
Kio Street 32.
Loyal Soldiers
It is often said that fathers are too busy for their
children. But at Broadrick Secondary School, half
of the Parent Support Group Committee members are
fathers.
Uniquely, the Chairman and all but one of the sub-committee
heads are men. They hold full-time jobs, but gladly
sacrifice their time and energy. The Principal is
impressed by the initiative of the members. Their
strength comes from their various fields of expertise.
'We are like different parts of the body. We all
perform different but important functions, none
of which is expendable,' a member commented. Another
said, 'We share a kinship and are comfortable working
together. Our work can never be finished.' 'We are
open and honest during meetings. We enjoy them and
do not find them a chore,' a mother commented. Parents
- fathers and mothers alike - are certainly making
an impact on the Broadrician students' education.
