In October, a “Photography Workshop cum Gardens by the Bay Outing” and the “Transition to RI(JC)” talk were also organised. An “Awaken the Dragon” parent-daughter bonding sculpture workshop was also held in the same month for parents to further bond with their daughters. “Reporting Day for Year 1s” on 20 December saw several of our PRGS members providing 14 | Raffles Girls’ School support by distributing our “Year 1 Registration Day Welcome Pack“ to parents of the new cohort and mingling with them to offer any assistance they may need. 2013 2013 began with PRGS co-organising the “Orientation Tea for Year 1 parents” on 11 January to welcome the parents of the new cohort. The “Helping your daughter’s transition to secondary school” session aimed to help parents understand some of the common transitional problems so that they may better guide the girls to integrate easily into secondary school life. Similarly, Philosophy, Humanities and Maths/Science seminars were also arranged to provide parents with some understanding of the approaches used in learning these subjects. Formed on 26 February 2003, PRGS Association turned 10 years old this year. To commemorate this milestone, PRGS held its 10th Anniversary celebration on 2 March at the School Hall attended by about 150 people comprising fellow PRGS members, past/present PRGS Exco members as well as past/present RGS Senior Management, Management & Administrative staff. PRGS 11th Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 23 March. Our new 11th Executive Committee (Exco) team, comprising parents from all four levels was nominated and elected into office for a term of 1-year wef 23 March. The new 11th Exco has since organised four “Parents’ Breakfast Dialogues with Principal(s)”sessions, each for one level of cohort. Now in its 4th year running, these dialogues provide an insight into the school’s policies and various programs and serve as a effective platform for two-way informal communications between the school and the parents. In conjunction with the School’s envisioning and strategic planning exercise stemming in part from the school‘s new campus development plans, PRGS held two special focus group discussions with parents regarding “The RGS Experience” on 17 May. At the RGS Open House on 25 May, PRGS Exco members were on the panel of speakers for the “In Conversation with Parents of RGS Students” sessions to share their thoughts and experiences. For the school’s Sports Day on 31 May, several PRGS members participated in the games and events and this year, PRGS also provided supervisory support for the School’s Swim carnival on 2 July. For this year’s Racial Harmony Day (18 July) theme “ Celebrating Singapore”, PRGS was involved in the demonstration of various traditional art and craft works and sampling of traditional food snacks. PRGS has through the years been issuing PRGS Awards to students who have shown exemplary behavior and great compassion, as evidenced by their level of community involvement. A panel from PRGS Exco conducted an interview with the shortlisted candidates on 26 July to select deserving recipients of this PRGS Award for RGS Speech Day 2013. Our talk series kicked off on 27 July with the topic “ Navigating the Teenage Years” by cofounder and director at Centre for Fathering, Mr Edwin Choy.

The Transition to RI(JC) talk is scheduled on 12 October while a half-day guided trip to Pulau Semakau, Singapore’s only landfill and man-made island situated offshore among the southern islands of Singapore is planned for 19 October.
