School Family Education (SFE) is one of the recommendations of Family Matters!
SFE adopts a holistic family learning model – equipping parents with effective parenting skills and training them to be parent facilitators, helping school staff to enhance their family life, and providing students with life skills training.
The parent-child relationship has much impact on the child’s academic achievements and positive attitudes/ behaviour, regardless of socio-economic status, ethnic/ racial background or parents’ education level.
More information of SFE can be found at www.sfe.org.sg

Praying Parents - 27 January 2010
The Praying Parents group was formed with the quest to grow as one united family with Jesus as focus. The group aims to nurture, sustain, support and help one another to bring up Godly and well-rounded children.It started off as a group of parents coming together to pray but they have since evolved to include the catholic girls of the school for the prayer sessions.
27 Jan 2010 saw the 1st session for the P3 & P4 girls.
As the girls entered the chapel, they were each given a "Jesus Loves You" heart-shaped card and on each card, there was a quotation from the bible.
Sister Janet Wang, Head of Chaplaincy Team, opened the session by welcoming the girls.
A core member of the group, Julie, led in the session along with her husband.
Following the opening hymn, there was a scripture reading and a short reflection on it. Thereafter the girls prayed for themselves, their families and friends. They also remembered the the victims of the recent Haiti earthquake & Ethiopian plane crash.
An offering of prayers written by some of the girls were offered to the Lord as well as a decade of the Rosary was also dedicated to Mother Mary.
The session ended with a thanksgiving prayer read by a group of girls. There was also an activity for the girls to bring back - they were given another "Jesus Loves You" card and this time they were encouraged to write a short note on the card and they were free to give the cards to their loved ones or even to those whom they find difficult to love.
A big kudos to the core members of the group who have worked hard to make the session a meaningful one for the girls especially in producing the materials such as PowerPoint slides to make it easier for the girls to participate. It was heartening to see other parents who turned up to lend their support. There were some who took time off from work while others came by during their lunch time! We hope more parents would come to join their girls for future sessions. Do keep a look out at the monthly Parents Connection where details of Praying Parents sessions will be announced.
