Schools island-wide hosted Parent Day programmes

Posted on Aug. 23, 2005

Schools island-wide hosted Parent Day programmes in November 2004 and promoted the feeling of community cooperation, building confidence in schools as a safe place where positive character building, cognitive skills and individual and family values develop. The Prime Minister, Ministry of Education and Governor General's office sent messages for the day. Teachers and students entertained parents with songs, dance and dramas demonstrating ways to help make every child feel valued and inspired greater care, compassion and understanding in parents. Special speakers were invited to share personal empowerment principles and stories and parenting "tips" were offered. Parents engaged in prayer and reflection to visualise what values they wanted their children to have and what sort of relationships they wanted with their children. School bulletin boards were decked out with art work based on the theme of family values.
