Please do take time to show appreciation to: the Sports teachers who conducted trials and tests for you; Aesthetics teachers who conducted tests, auditions and together with the boys, put up Arts Alive! the mini concert; Unifomed Group teachers and the cadets who put together that wonderful walkabout.

Do try to meet up with your Peer Support Leaders and Facilitators, they will be your older brothers whenever you need anyone to talk to, or just to accompany you. Please be good, and learn from your Form Tutors who will journey with you for the next 2 years in your time at Foundation Academy, we will be firm, yet fair, and will grow you to be the best person you can be.

Please find below, the links to:

9. Triple P Message to Parents Regarding the Invitation Package and SDQ Form

Dear Parents/Guardians,
You would have come across a package that your child has brought back to you regarding Triple P.The Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P) is an evidence-based parenting program proven to work in raising successful and confident children. It has its origins in the University of Queensland, and is purportedly one of the best programmes out there in helping parents level up in their parenting. It has been studied, refined, and proven to have improved parenting competencies and decrease parenting stress. All parents will stand to benefit from the programme, even if there are no perceived issues with the child at the moment. You can know more about the programme at https://www.triplep-parenting.net/global/triple-p/The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) brought in Triple P to support families in Singapore in their endeavours to raise well-adjusted children. This programme has been made available to all families of children studying in local public primary and secondary schools, regardless of nationality. While it would be costly to attend this programme outside, the Ministry has made it free of charge to you through the school.The programme comprises various levels (mass talks, individual sessions, group sessions) catering to different level of parenting needs of participants. To ensure parents get catered to only what is needed and not spending more time in the programme beyond what is necessary, parents are given a questionnaire (Strengths Difficulties Questionnaire – SDQ) to fill in, after which the responses would help determine which level of the programme they qualify for.Once filled in and submitted, a third-party vendor appointed by MSF would collect and score the questionnaires. Only the Social Service Agency attached to our school – TOUCH Community Services - and the school itself would be privy to the eventual scored results and the qualification level. Upon receipt of the results, TOUCH would then be contacting parents of the school to let them know of the level that they have qualified for, and how they can proceed from there.It is important to know that the results of the questionnaire would solely be used to determine the qualification of the Triple P level. The results would be in no way a reflection of how well the parent is in his or her parenting, and definitely bears no implication beyond determining the Triple P level qualification.We hope that this has provided clarity as to why you are requested to fill in the questionnaire and have it returned to us in the sealed envelope. We encourage you to leverage on this funded programme in building up confident and well-adjusted children. Do fill in the questionnaire as husbands and wives as much as possible, so that the observations of your child are based on both perspectives. Otherwise, it would be beneficial for the primary caregiver to be giving the observations and subsequently attending the programme.If you wish to understand more about the benefit and considerations of the Triple P programme before submitting your response, do drop our partner agency TOUCH Community Services an email at parenting@touch.org.sg – they will be happy to connect with you.
Warmest Regards, Jasmine Lee | Family Life Educator | Programme ExecutiveTOUCH Family LifeTOUCH Community Service
