ParentConnect: Join Us in Making a Difference
As the saying goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” In today’s fast-paced, pressure-packed world, it also takes a village to educate one.
At Nan Hua Primary School, our Parent Support Group (PSG), ParentConnect, plays a significant role in this “village.” We work hand in hand with the school to create a nurturing and positive environment where each child can thrive and reach their full potential.
ParentConnect serves as:
-
A platform for parents to complement the school by aligning with the school’s objectives;
-
A bridge for parents to engage in their children’s school activities;
-
A community for bonding and networking between parents and the school; and
-
A platform for parents to share their perspectives with the school.
Be part of the school's celebration
ParentConnect is actively involved in the school’s major celebrations. These include:
-
Lunar New Year celebration where parent volunteers prepare and present Yusheng and 八宝粥 (Eight Treasures Porridge). Parent volunteers help run a variety of stations—from traditional Chinese calligraphy to paper lantern making—to promote cultural appreciation, community spirit, and traditional values such as respect and gratitude.
-
Mid-Autumn Festival celebration where parent volunteers prepare moon cakes, pomelo and goodie bags as part of the school’s celebration. Parents join their children for cultural performances, a lantern parade, and enjoy pomelos and traditional mooncakes, deepening their understanding of Chinese heritage and promoting cultural pride and a sense of togetherness among the school community.
-
Teachers’ Day celebration where ParentConnect presents tokens of appreciation and puts up performances to acknowledge the hard work of our teachers. The performances were special ways to entertain and show our appreciation and gratitude towards the teachers who guide and support our students.

Be part of your child’s learning journey
The school and ParentConnect organise various exciting activities for students to learn and explore in fun and engaging ways while allowing parents to be involved in their children’s learning journey. From Mother’s Day and Teachers' Day to Children's Day, World Book Day, Racial Harmony Day, International Friendship Day, and our Sports Carnival, these events enable students to have fun while learning and celebrating important milestones. Parent volunteers play a key role in making these events enjoyable and meaningful, helping students develop important values and teamwork skills. As parents, we create memorable experiences as we get involved and make a difference in our child’s learning experience!
“Students are more engaged with school and enjoy it better when their parents take an interest in their school life by getting involved in activities, such as volunteering, parent-teacher meetings or school events”, The Straits Times reported in a study conducted by NIE involving some 7,500 students from 37 schools in 2022.

ParentConnect fosters bonding and networking among parents through various activities, such as dialogues, the Yuanxiao (元宵) gathering, Appreciation Day, and social events like bowling, movie screenings, and outdoor outings. These gatherings strengthen connections within the school community, bringing parents together in a supportive environment.
