Welcome to Poi Ching School - School Family Education (SFE)
Effective 1st April 2009 we are officially on this program
Background
School Family Education (SFE) is one of the recommendations of Family Matters! Singapore [previously known as Public Education Committee on Family (PEC)].
Vision
SFE adopts a holistic family learning model – equipping parents with effective parenting skills and training them to be parent facilitators, helping school staff to enhance their family life, and providing students with life skills training.
The parent – child relationship has much impact on the child’s academic achievements and positive attitudes/behaviors, regardless of socio-economic status, ethic/racial background or parents’ education level.
SFE has been well received by parents and participating schools. Since 2002, 80 schools have joined the SFE family and more than 100,000 people have benefited from the life-enriching programs under SFE.

PCS is proud to come under the SFE programme. We will be tapping on the programmes available under this programme to promote family life. You may want to contact Mrs Edna Tan at ashtan@singnet.com.sg to find out about the latest talks.
