Parent Support Group
The Angsana Primary School Parents Support Group
The ASPS Parent Support Group (PSG) is a voluntary group of parents and an integral part of the school community. The PSG works with the school to provide opportunities for parents to take part in the intellectual, social and emotional development of the children. Support is provided through a range of activities and services for our pupils, teachers and parents. We would like to encourage you to be involved and contribute to foster a vibrant and nurturing community. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents and get involved in the life of the school. We welcome your participation and assure you that it is a worthwhile endeavour that you will find personally rewarding and fun!
3 Key Roles of PSG:
1. Supporting Partner in Education
The PSG complements the school by aligning the PSG-run activities with the school’s objectives, supporting and strengthening the school’s programmes to improve our children’s well-being and learning
2. Bridge Between Parents and School
The PSG listens to parents’ feedback on school operations, practices and programmes, and provides feedback to the school. The PSG also facilitates the school’s communication to parents.
3. Magnet to Attract Other Parents
Parents who are actively involved in the PSG are better able to reach out to other parents and involve them. Over time, more parents can contribute to make the school environment more conducive for learning

School-based workshops on Parenting Tips for Angsana Parents
With consultation with PSG members and the school’s Family Matter Coordinator, the school has selected a variety of talks on Parenting Tips for all our parents. These talks are heavily subsidized and we would like to encourage all our parents to take this advantage of this opportunity and sign up for these talks.
