Just training and educating children alone is not enough as we
discovered that many parents do not have a good understanding
of the Dharma,
and thus for their benefit, starting Jan this year, the school
also conducts courses & sessions for the parents every Saturday
Currently no workshops available
Recent
Courses:
•
Basic Dharma Teachings
& Talks (in Chinese) Conducted by our Spiritual Advisor,

Apart from that we hope to form a Parent Support
Group in the near future whereby parents can give spiritual and mental
support to each
other.

Volunteers
The school operates with the help of a group of logistic volunteers
whose responsibility is to ensure the smooth operation of the school.
From preparing the main shrine for puja to setting up of the classrooms,
these volunteers help in every aspect to provide a conducive learning
environment for both the teachers and students. Other events include
as Dharma
Day, Teachers’ Day
celebration, Food Distribution Program, Buddhist Youth camps, and outings/excursions.
By actively helping the Sat/Sun School, volunteers are also
doing their part in propagating the Dharma and this gives them a great sense
of satisfaction.
There are 2 types of
parent volunteers. There are the regular ones who drop by once a week and there
are
the ad-hoc ones who help out whenever we need their help.
