TK1 Nite is an annual event held at the
beginning of every academic year when new Sec 1 cohort joined TKSS. It is an event organized by TK PSG with the
support of the School Leaders. Through this Event, the parents get an opportunity to tour the School, meet with the Principal, the Vice Principals, Form Teachers, Co-Form Teachers and other fellow parents.
This year, TK1 Nite was held on 23 January
2016. We received an exceptionally good
response with 180 parents registering for the Event (a big round of applause
for the new parents)!
After registration, the parents were given guided
tour of the school campus by the Student Councilors. Thereafter, Mdm Haslinda, the Principal, together
with the HOD CCE and Sec 1 Year Head warmly welcomed the new parents in the
Auditorium. Next, the parents proceeded
to their children’s classrooms, a segment led by the PSG Coordinators. Through the ice breaker session, the parents started
to mingle with each other and this greatly helped to initiate interaction amongst
the parents. The parents also took this opportunity to exchange contact details
with one another. We are certain that many
of these interactions will blossom into cherished friendships. The highlight of the Classroom Segment was
when the parents wrote encouragement notes and place them on their children’s
table-top. One can easily see the
emotional feelings of these parents and we have received feedback from the
students that they were so pleasantly surprised to see these encouragement notes
when they came to school the following Monday. A lovely and touching moment,
indeed! The Classroom Segment ended with
the Form Teachers and Co-Form Teachers giving updates to the parents on their
respective classes.
The final segment of the Event was the Hall
Segment. The PGS Working Team decorated the
school hall beautifully with dinner buffet spread set up on both sides and
round tables in the center of the school hall.
The PSG Working Team also made great effort to ensure that parents of
the same class get to sit together with two or three teachers teaching the
lower secondary at each table. This gave
yet another opportunity for the parents to bond with each other.
The Hall Segment began with the IP Heads giving
the parents detailed presentations of the Academic Programme and curriculum strategies
adopted by the School, followed by a speech from the Student Council President. Thereafter, the parents enjoyed the sumptuous
dinner buffet while continuing networking with the other parents and teachers.
Overall, it was a wonderful Event and for which
a huge thanks is due to each and every one who contributed to its success.
Cheers to Team TK!
