School Family Education Programme.
We want to praise God for giving us the opportunity to start the School Family Education (SFE) in the school. SFE was launched on 2 April, 2010 and its centre is in operation in the current AGAPE room which is now known as the SFE Centre.
SFE is one of the recommendations of Family Matters Singapore(FMS), previously known as Public Education Committee on Family (PEC).
SFE adopts a holistic family learning model – equipping parents with effective parenting skills and training them to be parent facilitators, helping the staff of the school to enhance their familylife, 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.
With support from North West, South East and South West CDCs, and Fei Yue CounsellingCentre, SFE was piloted in Nanyang and Temasek Primary Schools, and Bartley andCommonwealth Secondary Schools in January 2002. SFE was launched by Dr YaacobIbrahim, then Acting Minister for Community Development and Sports on 15 April 2002.
SFE has been well received by parents and participating schools. Since 2002, it has reached close to 2 million people. As at 2010, there are 227 schools in the SFE programme.

通过本讲座您会学到,如何才能在家中为孩子创造一个正确的学习环境.更重要的是,您不仅会帮助您的孩子在学校做到最好,而且在生活中也发挥最大潜能!
您的孩子在一天中什么时段学习效果最佳?早晨,下午还是晚上?如果在他学习的时代为他播放背景音乐,是有助于他的阅读理解还是降低他的学习效率?他是喜欢独自苦读还是喜欢与人一起讨论?
按照黄文辉讲师的讲座，随着孩子年龄的增长，孩子还会在学习动机、坚持性、思维风格等等方面表现出明显的风格差异。这些都需要家长仔细的观察和适宜的引导，既要肯定孩子时常用自己偏爱的学习方式来学习，以便扬长，另一方面，也要鼓励他不时用自己薄弱的学习方式来学习，以便补短，实现素质的全面发展。

Roller blading is a lifestyle sport which, once it is learnt, stays with the person throughout his life. Skates are easy to pack and lightweight to carry around. Thus it can be done anytime, anywhere, even when your family goes holidaying abroad!
Learning skating is a very fun process which greatly enhances parent-child bonding. The child sees the parent learning something new and learn a very valuable lesson – that life is a journey where learning never stops, regardless of age.
Mastery of skating, which seems so difficult, is a booster for confidence. It spills over into other aspects of family life – that if you keep trying despite the many falls, success can be achieved.
Of course, safety is paramount and that’s why a full set of protective gear is provided during the course of the lesson. As weird as this may sound, trainers will teach you how to fall. That’s right, fall.
Spills and tumbles are all part of the course when it comes to inline skating – but there’s a proper way to do it without injuring yourself. With protective gear and the correct technique, you’ll be skating safely, and smoothly in no time.
