Collaborative Partnership with You

• Your support and

partnership are crucial in

the holistic development of

your child

• You can play a part to

encourage:

Joy of Learning

Learn for Life

Encourage Joy of Learning • By not over-emphasising academic performance

• By focusing on your child’s learning journey,

rather than compare them to others

Give your child the time and space to deepen learning

MOE’s effort to promote the joy of learning

1. Adjusting school-based assessmentstructures (e.g. removal of weightedassessments for P1 and P2 children) topace out teaching and learning

2. Refreshing the Holistic DevelopmentProfile to better reflect a child’s progressin learning and to discourage peercomparison (e.g. use of qualitativedescriptors instead of marks in P1 & 2)

3. Revising the criteria for the EdusaveAwards to celebrate children’s progressin non-academic aspects

WHAT YOU CAN DO AT HOME?

Teaching Your Child to have a

Growth Mindset is the Most Important

Lesson they will learn

Developing a Growth Mindset in Your Child Starts with You! As parents, you play a huge role in influencing the mindset of your children, so

it’s important for you to model a growth

mindset for your children.

● See mistakes as learning opportunities,

and

● Understand the value of practice and

trying different strategies

Understanding Mindsets

● Belief : Abilities can

be developed

through effort and

practice

● Children with the

Growth Mindset

belief will persist in

the face of

challenges

Support from Parents

• Ensure that your child

comes to school

punctually

• Please do not take your

child on a holiday during

school term

• Constant reminders &

reinforcement about

personal hygiene, safety

and social distancing
