At WISS, we believe strong home-school partnerships are essential to the success and well-being of our school’s ecosystem. Parental engagement positively impacts the educational achievement and development of our students. For this reason, WISS has created a calendar of parent engagement workshops to provide opportunities for parents to gain a deeper understanding for our school curriculum and our approach to student learning and development. This allows parents the knowledge and resources to better align home–school practices and support their child’s learning at home.
The WISS Academic Leadership Team has developed a series of workshops on various topics of interest for parents to be held on a regular basis over the course of this school year. The first parent engagement workshop will take place on the 2nd of November on “Language Development for the International Students”.
This interactive workshop will explore what language learning and teaching looks like in Primary and Early Years and provide hands-on engagements for parents to explore different approaches and learn about how we support literacy skill development at school. We are hopeful that these workshops will also serve as platforms for parents and members of our academic teams to engage in productive conversations about learning, fostering relationships based on mutual respect and trust to support our students’ success.
In addition to this, the Parents Association has organized a series of Cultural Connection workshops to take place over the course of this school year. These workshops led by parent volunteers serve as social opportunities for our parents to connect and make new friends while discovering a cultural celebration, tradition or activity from a home country that is represented within our diverse community. These workshops not only help to build a sense of community but also a sense a belonging amongst our parents.

We look forward to seeing you very soon at one of these workshops!

在WISS,我们相信强大的家庭-学校伙伴关系对我校教育生态系统的成功和福祉至关重要。家长的参与会对孩子们的学业成就和发展产生积极的影响。基于这个原因, WISS创建了一项家长参与的工作坊活动,通过这样的机会互动,以便家长们来深入了解我校课程安排以及在学生学习和发展上采用的方法。家长们由此获得相关知识和资源,以更好地协调家庭和学校之间的做法,并帮助他们的孩子在家里学习。
我们的学术领导团队已经制定了一系列家长感兴趣的主题研讨会,将在本学年定期举行。第一个家长参与的研讨会将于11月2日举行,主题是"国际学生的语言发展"。这个互动工作坊将探讨孩子在小学和幼儿期的语言学习和教学情况,并为家长提供亲自参与的机会,探索不同的方法并且了解学校是如何帮助孩子们发展读写技能的。我们希望这些工作坊也能成为家长和我们学术团队成员就教育问题进行有效对话的平台,在相互尊重和信任的基础上促进关系的发展,能更好地支持我校学生的成功。
除此之外,家长会在本学年组织了一系列文化交流研讨会。这些由家长志愿者领导的研讨会为家长们提供了一个社交平台,令大家在我们这个多元化社区中,通过了解各国的文化庆典、传统或活动的同时,促进交流并结识新朋友。
这些研讨会不仅有助于建立社群意识,也有助于家长们从中获得归属感。本学年的家长工作坊活动时间表将进一步发送。我们期待着在这些研讨会上见面!
