Parent Support Group

Overview

The Kent Ridge Secondary School Parent Support Group (PSG) was started in January 2004 to partner parents in the organisation of school programmes and activities as they offer their expertise and resources to support the holistic development of our students.

PSG Objectives

1. To be partners in education with the school to enhance the holistic development of our children.

2. To tap on the expertise and resources of parents to assist in organizing/supporting school programmes and activities.

The PSG Executive Committee (EXCO)

The PSG Executive Committee (EXCO) meets regularly with the school to stay informed of school developments, exchange ideas, and plan activities that support students, families, and the school community.

PSG Activities

The PSG plays an active role in supporting school programmes and initiatives. Their contributions include organising parent–child bonding activities and talks that equip parents with relevant knowledge and skills to better support their children's growth and learning while strengthening home–school partnerships. The PSG also supports key school events such as the Kent Ridge Olympics (KRO), Experiential Week, and the Graduation Ceremony.

Parent Volunteers

The PSG relies on the team of Parent Volunteers (PV) to help organise and participate in many of our activities. Coming from various backgrounds, the skills and resources available from our PVs help in many ways, from sourcing for items required to run events to simply volunteering time and effort to participate in activities. Registered PVs are regularly updated on current and upcoming activities in the school. As a KRSS family, we also support each other by sharing information and advice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Do I have to commit a certain amount of time to be a PV, as I am working full-time?
A1: No. We will inform PVs of any upcoming activities in advance so that you may plan your time and let us know if you are able to join us in the activity.

Q2: Why does the registration form ask for my occupation (optional)?
A2: This helps us to understand where you may perhaps be able to further assist the PSG based on your expertise, such as during Careers’ Talk or sourcing for items, just to name a few.

Q3: Does joining the PSG as a PV mean that I will have better access to the school’s staff and leadership team?
A3: Perhaps it is more likely that you will have better access to resources from your peers, some of whom may have more experience as a parent/guardian in the school having had children enrolled before. As a PSG family, we can help to guide you to the appropriate channel to help address some of your queries or concerns related to the school matters.
