St
Margaret’s Secondary School encourages
the parents of students to think of ways to improve
all aspects of school life.
Last
year, one parent, Mdm Lee Lai Chee, gave a suggestion that makes it possible
for teenagers with problems and questions to seek advice from the right sources.
Mdm Lee suggested setting up a post box where students who are shy or prefer
to remain anonymous can write down their questions and conveniently drop them
off.
The idea was so successful that the school now holds Agony Aunt sessions once
a term. At these sessions, a panel comprising a parent, a qualified counsellor
and a respected student leader presents different points of view and suggests
solutions to the questions submitted.
The school was very receptive to Mdm Lee’s idea because it provided an
avenue for students to ask questions and discuss issues commonly faced by young
people in a relaxed and non-threatening environment.
By learning from one another and significant adults, the students are empowered
to solve their problems. Parents also gain from a strong sense of involvement
in the well-being of their daughters. |
