Dads for Life

Focus

With the emphasis on building partnerships in our education system since the 2015 Work Plan Seminar, Anchor Green Primary School recognises that collaborations with parents, alumni, external organisations, and the community can contribute to the holistic development of students by incorporating a broader range of skills, experiences, and perspectives.

Objectives

In Anchor Green Primary School, we aim to nurture partnerships that enhance and support the school’s vision of “Agile Learners, Gracious Citizens” through collaborations, experiences, and community involvement.

The school aims to encourage and facilitate increased parental engagement in the educational process, tapping on their expertise and experiences to enrich students’ learning.

Key Programmes/Initiatives

School-based:

Dads for Life is a national fathers' movement dedicated to inspiring, mobilising, and engaging fathers to become positive influences in their children's lives—for life! Research shows that active fatherhood leads to better cognitive, emotional, and academic development in children. Dads for Life stresses the long-term effects of involved fatherhood, which can strengthen relationships, reduce maternal stress, and enhance fathers' self-identity, benefiting the entire family.

Our first Dads for Life activity, themed “Formula AGPS Race 2024”, for P4 to P6 fathers and their children.
