The Chiang Kai Shek (CKS) College Office of English Academic Instructions initiated changes in its basic education offerings as the school and its community prepare young minds for the 21^st century. An important change is involving parents in education program developments through a parent education program (PEP). PEP focuses on:

1. Reinforcing the value of parents’ presence and involvement – active parenting, communication, and encouragement – to their children’s scholastic performance and overall development
2. Reducing if not eliminating old-fashioned dependency on external influences such as tutors and secondary caregivers, factors that actually cause children to develop inconsistent performance in school and study habits that lack the proper drive and self-discipline

Headed by Dr. Glendora V. Tiu, the Office launched the first of Parents’ Feasts in July 2014, which was attended by 900 parents of students across basic education levels, and by school directors, supervisors, and staff. Activities:

• Opening ceremony – introductions; sorting parents according to grade levels and programs
• Campus tour – acquainting parents with CKS College facilities and latest developments such as improved laboratories, audio-visual classrooms, CCTV-equipped classrooms, and premises
• Classroom visits – observing classroom activities for an hour
• Social gathering at the CKS College Auditorium – socials; demonstration of a lesson in growing wheat grass at home by a grade 4 teacher; preparing and serving drinks and appetizers by high school seniors; entertainment performances by selected students

This event introduced parents and guardians to the concept of an engaged partnership with the school in raising and educating young students, promoted open communication with the school, and stressed parents’ significant roles in molding the future citizens of the nation. 

September saw a follow-up on PEP; it was attended by almost the same number of parents, who discussed important matters with Dr. Tiu and CKS College President Dr. Dory Poa in the school auditorium. The whole-day affair was sectioned into four schedules, sorting parents by grade levels to which their children belong. These groups covered the same topics:

• Different roles in education – identifying and clarifying roles and responsibilities of school, parents, and students with regard to learning, learning environments, and learning habits
  
• General discussion – parents and school leaders talk about concerns, school workload, teaching methods, changes introduced by the government, and rationales behind such changes
• Introduction of future offerings – information on assistance/advance programs, summer programs on SAM (sports, arts, music), e-learning program in mathematics, reading program, robotics program, etc.

The September event concluded with plans for next Parents’ Feasts, which will be held in December.

菲律濱中正學院訊：本學院幼稚園部為慶祝母校75週年校慶，特別在7月25日舉辦了一項活動－營養月。

　　『吃得營養，長得健康』是這次活動的主體，讓小朋友知道只有均衡的飲食， 才能使他們身體健康，快速長大。

　　那天早上，上下午班的小朋友把各自帶來的食物交給老師後，就很有秩序地排隊前往大禮堂，禮堂裏掛滿了小朋友的美勞作品。

　　『看!這是我做的大南瓜。』『那是我做的鳳梨！』『我也做了紅蘿蔔！』『…』小朋友們看到自己的作品，都笑得好開心， 比手劃腳地互相炫耀著。

       這次活動內容包括講故事、兒歌朗誦， 利用簡報(Power Point)介紹三大〝G〞(Go， Glow & Grow)的營養食物， 接著小班的小朋友舉起這三大〝G〞食物的模型繞著會場遊行， 中班的小朋友也參加智力搶答遊戲， 最後在大家的高聲歡唱《Five fruits and vegetables 》及 《Bahay Kubo》下， 結束了當天的活動。

　　回到教室裏時， 看到老師把所有的食物分類擺設好， 小朋友都異口同聲地《嘩》起來! 於是大家都乖乖地坐好， 吃得津津有味. 一些平時很偏食， 令父母親很苦惱的小朋友， 看到同學們吃得樂乎乎， 也試著去吃每種食物。

　　希望藉著這次活動能改善小朋友們的飲食習慣. 使他們個個都能『吃得營養，長得健康!』
