Room Parents
The Room Parenting initiative offers a powerful way for parents to become active partners in their child’s education. By providing holistic support to the entire class, Room Parents can significantly enhance the learning environment and contribute to the overall success of the learners.
Key benefits of the Room Parenting initiative include:
- Administrative assistance: Reducing the teacher’s workload allows them to focus on core teaching responsibilities.
- Small Group Aid: Providing personalised attention to learners in need, such as reading sessions, can help to boost their confidence and academic achievement.
- Relationship-based program: Building strong connections between parents, teachers, and learners fosters a positive and supportive learning community.
- Flexibility: The role can be tailored to the individual parent’s interests and availability, ensuring a mutually beneficial experience.
- Training: Participants receive the necessary training to effectively support the class and contribute to the program’s goals.
With a suggested commitment of just one hour per week, Room Parenting offers a meaningful way for parents to make a positive impact on their child’s education and the lives of their classmates.
SOL FOOD
The SOL Feeding Programme is designed to ensure that all learners have access to nutritious meals, enabling them to focus on their studies and achieve their full potential. Research has shown a strong correlation between nutrition and cognitive function, making it essential to address the needs of undernourished learners.
A significant portion of our community faces poverty and under-nutrition, leading to many learners arriving at school hungry. To address this issue, we have implemented a successful feeding scheme that has grown steadily over the years. A network of dedicated parents provides fresh lunch packs for several learners each day, consisting of sandwiches, fruit, and a snack. These packs are available for learners to collect during the appropriate GO Break, ensuring that they have access to a nourishing meal throughout the school day.
In addition to the parent-provided lunch packs, the SOL Food program offers a sustainable solution for providing healthy meals to learners. By supplying ingredients to the school and involving learners in the meal preparation process, we are not only providing sustenance but also teaching valuable life skills and promoting healthy eating habits.
SOS PROGRAMME
The S.O.S Programme offers a vital one-on-one support system for learners facing significant challenges. Whether they are struggling academically, socially, or emotionally, this initiative provides personalised assistance tailored to their individual needs. By walking alongside these learners, S.O.S volunteers create a safe and supportive space where learners can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Parents involved in the S.O.S Programme play a crucial role in determining the level of support, visit frequency, and time allocation. This flexibility ensures that the program can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each learner and their family. By providing one-on-one guidance and mentorship, S.O.S volunteers can help learners overcome challenges and develop the skills they need to succeed.
Training is provided for parents interested in joining this impactful endeavour, equipping them with the tools and knowledge necessary to effectively support learners. The S.O.S Programme works synergistically with the Room Parent Programme, creating a comprehensive support network for learners and their families.

SPONSORSHIP
The SOL Fund Initiative is a dedicated group of parents who are passionate about supporting the SOL Programme and ensuring its continued success. By fundraising, they help to provide essential resources for learners in need, including food, clothing, and other necessities that are vital for their well-being and academic success.
The funds raised by the SOL Fund Initiative are used to directly support learners who may be facing financial hardship. This allows the SOL Programme to provide a safety net for these learners, ensuring that they have access to the resources they need to thrive in school and beyond.
By contributing to the SOL Fund Initiative, parents are making a tangible difference in the lives of their fellow learners. They are helping to create a more equitable and inclusive learning environment where all learners have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
