JOY OF LEARNING
Learn for Life.
Embrace Learners.
Enhance Student Wellbeing.
Learning is not limited to the classroom. Parents, with the conducive home environment that they create, can influence a child's learning significantly. Never accidental but by design, parental involvement in a child's learning is an intentional process. When parents take steps to support their child, his/her growth is accelerated and he/she grows into a confident individual who is able to learn joyfully and effectively.
Come and join us in our e-Teacher-Parent Seminar (e-TPS) 2021 as we bring teachers and parents together to uncover opportunities to strengthen our children’s learning and celebrate the joy of learning. Our teacher presenters look forward to sharing with you their knowledge on a wide range of topics. . They will share a variety of strategies and resources to help you support your child in his/her learning journey. There is really something for everyone to discover and learn in this seminar.
Check out the website for more details on the seminar schedule and get your ticket today to secure a seat for this enriching event. We look forward to seeing you at e-TPS 2021.

This workshop will touch on ways to nurture trust in the parent-child relationship which goes a long way in building confidence and self-worth in children, enabling them to be more resilient in the face of challenges and ultimately, bringing out the best in them.
