What is the difference between a physicist, an engineer, and a mathematician?

If an engineer walks into a room and sees a fire in the middle and a bucket of water in the corner, he takes the bucket of water and pours it on the fire and puts it out.

If a physicist walks into a room and sees a fire in the middle and a bucket of water in the corner, he takes the bucket of water and pours it eloquently around the fire and lets the fire put itself out.

If a mathematician walks into a room and sees a fire in the middle and a bucket of water in the corner, he convinces himself there is a solution and leaves.

DISCOVER YOUR CHILD'S NATURE AND THEN NUTURE THAT NATURE. - Jim Cathcart

Being a parent can at times be frustrating and stressful, as well as rewarding and joyful.
When we plant flowers and they do not grow and bloom as we would like, we don't blame them.
Yet, when we have problems with our children, we too often blame them - criticising and nagging.

We need to influence them and they will mature, but it does not mean we can change their nature. The challenge is to nourish them to become responsible an contributing members to the society.

How to be neither overly strict or overly permissive?

Let's start with communicating between parent and child with positive messages.
Remind yourself that you too, would like to receive positive comments rather than criticisms. People feel and do better when thy feel better. Don't allow your impulses direct you what to do.

Sentences starting with "Don't" should be avoided e.g. "Don't forget your homework." "Don't forget to eat your lunch" etc. Instead use messages like "Any homework from school today?" or even get a "To Do List" so that your child learn the habit of responsibility by completing his/her chores & homework before watching TV, playing PC games. This will help to avoid "nagging" situations.

Remember, STAY POSITIVE! (After all, we are the adults, aren't we?)

Meet-The-Parents Session (Secondary One)

A very warm welcome to the parents of PHS Secondary One cohort!

9 January was the MTP session for a very enthusiastic group of parents... all ready to journey with their child in PHS!

The Parent Support Group (PSG) is basically the support and resources of the school in the organisation of activities and events. From these activities and interactions, you will understand better the school culture and environment. PSG also provides a platform for parents to interact and network with one another, providing feedback for improvement.

Foster a parent-child bond through your involvement - BE A PART OF YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING JOURNEY - BE INVOLVED IN PSG!

We are not asking that each one of you be involved in ALL of our activities, we are hoping that you can be involved in a couple of activities per year, or even impart your skills through our workshops.

For Christian parents, I am appealing to you to join our current group of parents who are giving Tuesday morning devotions to the students. It is only a 15-minute devotion on Tuesday mornings (7.15am to 7.30am) but it will mean a lot to the students!

If you did not complete the PSG Enrolment form but would like to join us or at least, be informed of our activities, please email: presbyterianhighpsg@gmail.com and we will send you a form via email for completion.

Just to re-cap, your PSG Class Rep is as follows:

1 Agape - Mrs. Wendy Chia (Treasurer)
1 Blessing - Mrs. Agnes Chan (Chairperson)
1 Compassion - Mrs. Elicia Soh (Committee Member)
1 Devotion - Mr. Alvin Soh (Committee Member)
1 Endurance - Mrs. Jenny Chin (Secretary)
1 Faith - Mrs. Rose Tan (Vice Chairperson)
1 Grace - Mr. Ang Lee San (Sub-Committee)
1 Humility - Mrs. Celia Lee (Sub-Committee)

Those parents who have met us and received our PSG name cards, we hope to hear from you should you require more info or any clarification on PSG matters!

YOUR PARTICIPATION REFLECTS YOUR COMMITMENT AND YOUR BELIEF THAT YOUR CHILD WILL BE INSPIRED BY YOUR ACTIONS!

This is hilarious.....even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numeric, which is so uniquely "us" (Singaporeans). Pardon me, English teachers!

Ah Lim was asked to make a sentence using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1.

This is what he came up with.....

1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell 6 and threw up. So I go into 7-eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab at him. 10 God he run away.
10 I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7-eleven. Next day I called my boss and told him I was 6. He said 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asked me to go climb a 3 and jump down! I don't understand. I am so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1.

Have a great day!

ASPIRE 2009

Aspirations of good people end in celebration,
the ambitions of bad people crash. - Proverbs 10:28

Dear Parents Partners,

Warmest greetings from PSG to you and your family!

Every year we start with a ‘bang’, with zealousness, enthusiasm, filled with New Year’s resolutions … but
Do we let them sizzle off as the months go by?
Did we stand firm and fulfill our goals eventually?
Did we learn something new and something challenging each time?

This year, the school theme "ASPIRE" is an inspiration to parents, students and teachers alike, to direct our hopes or ambitions towards achieving something. Can we at PSG help you or your child achieve something?

Keep it close to heart that “God does not seek out our Capabilities to serve Him,
He seeks out our Availability!”

PSG has many activities and programs in-store for you – to participate as a Parent Partner, please email to us your personal information - name, mobile phone, email address and your interests.

Let’s continue to strive and make 2009 a very special, rewarding and fulfilling year to all!

Sincerely,
Agnes Chan (Mrs)

Chairperson

Parent Support Group
