Corporate Communications Division is pleased to announce the launch of Schoolbag.sg, a new online newsletter for parents (www.schoolbag.sg). Schoolbag.sg is revamped from Contact Online. The revamp arose out of a review of MOE’s and schools’ efforts to reach out to parents and the public.
2 Schoolbag.sg aims to keep parents informed of news and developments in education in Singapore, provide insightful school stories, and highlight pertinent parent and teacher matters. With Schoolbag.sg, we hope to enable parents to better partner schools and to make informed choices about their children’s education.
3 Stories in Schoolbag.sg are found in these sections:
* Education News – articles reporting on developments on the education front in Singapore, e.g., policies, MOE events
* Parents’ Corner – stories on school/MOE events that parents are involved in, tips for parents, contributions from parents
* In the Schools – school stories on school trips, school events, school programmes or projects
* Teachers Today – stories on teachers’ professional development and their work, e.g. work attachment, school counsellors, teachers helping students with special needs.
4. Schoolbag.sg will continue to feature stories contributed by teachers and schools for these stories give parents and the public insight into our teachers’ work and into the various interesting programmes run by our schools
