‘Watch Me Sparkle’ – a Parent-Teacher-Child Conference

In line with the school’s belief that every Fengshan pupil can be developed to become a confident and articulate person, the school has created a platform which provides the opportunity for a tripartite conference – between the parent, teacher and child.  It is also aligned with MOE’s 21^st Century Competencies of developing our pupils to be self-directed learners and confident persons.  The conference aims to provide parents with richer information to support pupils’ holistic development and learning throughout the year.  It gives pupils the opportunity to “sparkle” and share with their parents what they have learnt while the teacher’s role is that of a facilitator.

During the conference, parents are actively involved by asking questions and participating in their child’s presentation. They also share with the teachers the progress they have seen in their children thus affirming the pupils’ growth and development. Parents also follow up on their children’s learning after the session by working on the areas which their children can improve.

The pupils, on the other hand, get the opportunity to present samples of their work from their portfolio or share their experiences from the Speech and Drama performance or learning journeys, hence developing their confidence in both English Language and Mother Tongue. 

The teachers find that their role as facilitators in ‘Watch Me Sparkle’ is satisfying as they enjoy a richer conversation involving both parents and pupils.  Moving forward, the school will continue to leverage on this platform to prepare the pupils to shine as confident communicators and to ensure that every parent is a supportive partner.

 Welcome to Fengshan Primary School …

I hope 2012 has been as great a year for you as it has been for Fengshan Primary
School. I am glad to be given the privilege to continue with the journey of bringing
out the best in our pupils and helping them to move on to the next level.

2012 has been a busy but fruitful year for Fengshan. As we look back into 2012 and
reflect on our strive towards the vision of developing our pupils to become leaders of
tomorrow with anchored hearts and driven minds, we are heartened to share that our
pupils have grown holistically as are evident of their achievements in different areas.
Our P6 pupils have done well in their 2012 PSLE. We would like to congratulate our
top pupil, Huang Xin, for her outstanding performance. She has done the school
proud by attaining a score above 275. In addition, the number of pupils scoring
250 or more surpasses that of previous years. Our pupils have also excelled in
the area of Aesthetics and the Sports with the performing arts groups securing 1
Gold and 4 Silver during the SYF competition and Netball group clinching National
Championship for the senior division. To affirm our efforts in the physical, social and

moral domain, the school has been accorded the PSE status (Netball) and MOE
Character Development Award as well as National Education Development Award.
All these achievements would not have been possible without the commitment
and dedication of our staff, pupils, parents and partners. Once again, I would like
to express my utmost appreciation to everyone in the Fengshan family for their
continuous support and fine work.

For the year 2013, we remain committed in nurturing our pupils into loyal individuals
with strength of character and a determination to succeed in the spirit of lifelong
learning. We will continue on the journey of bringing out the best in our pupils and
helping them to move on to the next level by providing a student-centric and values-
driven education. The school will also continue to offer a wide range of programmes
which caters to the differing cognitive needs of the pupils and create a myriad of
opportunities for pupils to enrich their educational experiences.

This year, the school will kick start its PERI upgrading. While the on-site PERI
upgrading may pose some inconvenience to everyone, we are looking forward to
the physical enhancement as the new facilities will help the school to fulfil its goal of
developing the 21st century skills, competencies and dispositions of our pupils. We
seek your understanding and patience as we embark on this change.

We know that all our aspirations for 2013 can only be achieved through the
collaborative efforts of the pupils, staff, parents and partners. We look forward to
working alongside all of you to bring out the best in our pupils.

Together with my staff, I wish you a joyful and pleasant year ahead.
