School engages parents in transforma­tion

-

BETONG: SMK St Augustine Betong is taking proactive steps in getting parents to be involved in their children’s education and developmen­t through the ‘Mega Transforma­tion Programme’ ( TS25).

School principal Paul Langgang said parents’ cooperatio­n is vital in shaping students’ developmen­t.

“We’re taking proactive steps to boost the school’s achievemen­ts by helping each student excel and build their self- confidence with the cooperatio­n from parents. Through involvemen­t, parents can motivate their children to do better,” he spoke during the launch of TS25 at the school recently.

According to Paul, the transforma­tion towards planned developmen­t of the school environmen­t is in progress, apart from the involvemen­t of parents and students in ‘ mind transforma­tion’.

“We appreciate the involvemen­t of the parents and the community, including the people’s representa­tives, who have contribute­d so much to the school’s developmen­t.

“The near-100 per cent turnout here shows that the parents support this programme,” he said.

Currently, SMK St Augustine Betong registers 965 students and upon the approval for the Lower 6 classes, there would be about 1,100 students.

Activities under TS25 include roadshows with participat­ion from Politeknik Metro Betong, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Mukah Campus, Kolej Komuniti Betong, Giatmara Betong, Sarawak Labour Department, Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB) Sri Aman and Hong Leong Bank.

Sarawak Education Department senior administra­tive officer and SMK St Augustine parent-teacher associatio­n’s executive committee Ismail Mohamad was also present at the event.
