Partnerships with Parents, Alumni and External Organisations

Peicai Secondary School (PCSS) is committed to “nurturing critical and independent learners with love for self, family and society”. This commitment remains resolute in the ongoing efforts to develop students who are ready to overcome challenges of the 21st century. PCSS acknowledges that to achieve our mission, it is essential that our school leverages on our collaboration with stakeholders to support the learning as well as development of the child.

Our goal is to nurture partnerships via a whole-school approach, a shared partnership vision as well as a school culture, all of which seek to foster meaningful and sustainable partnerships.

In line with our Strategic Thrust 4: Engaged & Supportive Partners, we would like to strive towards

harnessing strategic partnerships with stakeholders
seeking a win-win partnership with external stakeholders
engaging external stakeholders as goodwill ambassadors of the school
working with partners to improve the popularity and image of the school

We strongly believe that a strong partnership with parents will enable us to deliver a holistic education to Peicaians in terms of academic learning and character building.

Partnerships with Alumni

Ensuring and facilitating the continual bonding of our alumni is one of the objectives of the Peicai Alumni. Our alumni serve as volunteer organisers who plan and conduct activities to connect the past and present batch of students to strengthen our school spirit. Some of these activities include organising Prom Night for our Secondary Four and Five graduates annually and assisting as volunteer coaches and trainers in co-curricular activity (CCA) groups. In addition, they also return to share their personal success stories to inspire current students towards their goals and provide academic consultation for those who need it during our Project Home Run (Night Study) Programme.

Partnerships with External Organisations
