PSG Online Guide sharing by PSG Leaders
The PSG Online Guide - “Parent Support Groups – A How-to Guide By Parents For Parents” – is a resource that provides useful tips and guidelines in setting up and sustaining good PSGs. It was initiated and developed by 5 PSG leaders from 9th COMPASS (Community and Parents in Support of School) Council with the support of several PSG leaders.
The Guide was launched on 4 February 2017 by Assoc. Prof Dr. Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Parliamentary Secretary for Ministry of Education and Ministry of Social and Family Development at the 2017 School-Home Partnership Networking session at Maris Stella High School (Secondary). Over 400 Parent Support Group (PSG) Leaders and school staff were engaged in rich discussions on how to reach out to parents for better educational and learning outcomes for our children.

Parents can use these videos to engage your child and educate them on the importance of these positive values.
