Open House, 29th Oct 2011

Venue : at Bethel Hall

PHS held its Open House to show what the school can offer to the prospective Sec 1s.

There were many questions asked by concerned parents.  Is the school good?  How are the teachers?  How do you find the school?  PSG offered our opinion to the best of our experience and knowledge.  They were reassured of the school's emphasis on Character Development, its vision and the dedication of the teachers.

A number of parents left our PSG corner with remarks, "Now we hope the points are enough to get in"...

In the news recently, it was reported how even young adults can have misconceptions about their sexuality. They hold certain housewives' tales as true, e.g. using coca-cola to prevent pregnancies etc.

Teenagers, curious on this subject, very often obtain their information on this subject through their friends and via the internet.  However, the best sexual health education begins at home.  We want our teenagers to get the correct information but, very often, parents find it very difficult to bring up and handle this subject.

This Parenting talk is for parents and guardians only. It seeks to give parents a better understanding of how to communicate sexuality to teenagers. 

Most importantly, it puts sexuality in the correct perspective - how God intends sexuality to be.
