PIBG AGM-AGENDA 2014/15

Agenda 2014/15

Dear parents of SJK(C) Lick Hung,

This year's AGM will be held on 15th March, 2014 (Saturday) at 2.00pm. (at Dewan SJKC Lick Hung)

We, the parents' committee member of the PIBG (2013/14) would like to make an impassioned plea to all parents to make a special effort to turn up in full force to attend this year's AGM.

We would like to introduce Agenda 2014/15 to you and hope to get your full support.  In the Agenda 2014/15, we aim to:

1.    Install water coolers to provide drinking water to the children.

2.    Install a direct flushing system in the toilets to counter the low water pressure of the toilet cisterns.

3.    Engagement of RELA for better traffic control after school hours.

4.    Electronic means of communication to inform parents about notices from the school management.

5.    To bridge the communication gap between parents and the teachers/school.

We, the present 2013/2014 PIBG committee, took office only in July, 2013 and within a short period of a few months, we are happy to say that we have achieved the following:

- Conducted a questionnaire survey to know the wishes of parents regarding a variety of issues, chief of which is the compulsory tuition issue. As a result of which, the school management decided to cancel the compulsory tuition for Standard 1 & 2.

- To improve the channels of communication between the school and parents whereby:

·         The school is now giving out regular notices in black and white to notify parents about school closure, cancellation of tuition etc

·         The school has installed notice boards at the school gates

·         Setting up the PIBG blog, www.lhpibg.blogspot, for better communication

·         Complete the first round of registration of SMS service for contacting parent using SMS during emergency and important notification. The service is ready to be activated during emergency.

- Organised a drama by Hong Jie Jie, with the dual purposes of instilling good moral values in children as well as to raise funds for PIBG. 

- Minor repairs to the toilets and education about toilet usage to improve the toilet condition

We need the support of parents like you in helping to achieve our Agenda 2014/15.  In the long run, we aim to build a more conducive learning environment for our children.  The choice is in your hands.  PLEASE ATTEND AND VOTE in the coming PIBG AGM, 15^th March 2014, 2:00pm.

It is said that the people deserves the government that we have. Similarly, at the level of the school, the school children deserve the school management that we get. The PIBG AGM is held yearly to elect the office-bearers/committee for the year as well as to pass the financial statement of the PIBG account and most importantly to discuss about any pressing issues facing our children.

If we as parents do not take an interest in the activities of the PIBG and relegate this important responsibility to a concerned few to attend the PIBG AGM and vote on your behalf, then we are remiss in our duties to our children. To clarify a few misinformation, even if you do not have any issues (usul-usul) to raise and did not fill up the reply slip or you replied that you will not be attending, it is still your right and duty to attend the AGM. To the jaded parents of Standard 6 students, by turning up at the AGM, you could perhaps even "persuade” the school to reconsider cancelling the Saturday tuition and allow the children to have the weekend off.  Nothing is cast in stone and the headmaster is open to suggestions, feedbacks and dialogue.

Note: We are not against tuition and we understand the needs for tuition. we acknowledge and respect the right of parents to opt for tuition and we will support any efforts to improve the quality of tuition. We fully support all plans to reduce the teaching burden of the teachers and to improve the remunerations to the teachers.

( if you replied that you will not be attending the AGM, but change your mind, please email to lhpibg2013@gmail.com so enough seats can be arranged)
