• Prospects for JC/Poly/ITE ultimately depend on quality of results

• Gauge ability via Sec 2 results





• Interest is important

• Students do well in subjects that they are interested in

• Rely on Lower Secondary experience to gauge interest





• What child/ward wants to do in future

Research has shown that children with more involved parentsenjoy school more and have better school attendance. They arealso more emotionally and socially well adjusted and better able tohandle stress.

~Feb 09 The Straits Times



• Developed by: Professor Matt Sanders through more than 30 years of clinical

research trial

• Aim: Prevent behavioural, emotional and developmental problems in children by

enhancing the knowledge, skills and confidence of parents

• Delivery Format: Large group seminars (Triple P Level 2), individual consultations

(Triple P Level 3), and group sessions (Triple P Level 4)

Triple P (Positive Parenting Program)



Triple P Level 2 Seminars (Secondary)

• 3 X 90 minutes parenting seminars

• 3 seminars include:

• (i) Raising Resilient Teenagers

• (ii) Raising Competent Teenagers

• (iii) Getting Teenagers Connected

Triple P Level 3 Consultations

• 4 X 45 minutes personal coaching sessions

• Quick and personal way to get help from expert trainers

• Tailored to meet your needs

56

Triple P : Positive Parenting Program

Triple P Level 4• Group + Individual /Telephone Sessions

• 4 X 2hr Group sessions (4-6 families)

• 3 telephone calls

• Final 1 X 2hr Group Sessions



The evaluation study on Triple P shows that the programmes bring about

better parenting and child outcomes.

Parents who undergo the full programme dosage report:

Improved parenting competency

Reduced parenting stress

Reduced negative emotional states

Reduced child’s difficult behaviour.

Evaluation Study on Triple P Pilot



What are parents saying?

Triple P Level 3 Consultations

Secondary School

Both trainers who trained us are experienced and

the tips shared during the program coupled with

several examples gave me the confidence to

implement their suggestions at home. I am

pleased that my daughter responded really well

to the enhancements (eg. assertive

communication and more realistic expectations)

of my

parenting.

– Parent, Methodist Girls’ School

I find the recording of my child's behavior

particularly useful as it showed the trait of his

tantrum outburst and shed light to the reason

behind such behavior.

By building positive relationship with my child, it

reduces the severity of his tantrum. I also realized

that I could use the methods that I learnt from the

programme on my other child to manage her

behaviors.

There were times that I forgot and allowed things to

get out of control but I was quickly reminded and put

what I learnt into place again.
