School Family Education at Beatty Secondary School ~ A venue where parents, students and the School work hand in hand. Parents are provided with the knowledge, skills and understanding to help their children to be successful, not only at school but also in life. ~ SFE’s Vision and Mission The goal of SFE is to assist parents in understanding their children and to guide and nurture them holistically to become useful and caring citizens of the future. Parents make the commitment to understand their child and their needs by investing their time in attending SFE talks and workshops. Their care and concern manifested through nurturing and coaching their child and role-modeling the right values and attitudes, is the most precious gift that they can give. It does not end there; we strongly encourage our enlightened parents to share their SFE experiences with other parents and hence, help us to reach out to these parents as well. They themselves then become ‘parent coaches’, working closely together with other parents and the School, and the School Family Education Team. SFE@Beatty has crossed an important milestone; it is one of the BEST SFE schools in Singapore, being recognised for its OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE from 2009, 2010 and 2011.
