​​Parent Club Building a Caring Community  

As a school organization based on the community, we highly value social participation. 

We believe that parents' participation is the key to students achieving the best learning results. Parents play a crucial role in helping students overcome the challenges of learning Chinese. The parent social platform exchange at the class level has also become a necessary setting in our school process. 

Our parent committee members actively contribute their strength, assisting the school in ground patrols and managing the Chinese library service during class. In addition, they also help organize various activities, including educational seminars, our annual speech day, and teacher's day card design competitions, etc.    

We are very grateful for the parents' firm support and dedication, they are an indispensable part of our school community's success!
