Many paths. One purpose.
In collaboration with the Citi-NIE Financial Literacy Hub for Teachers, Assumption Pathway School hosts Financial Literacy Pedagogy Workshop for West Zone educators on 29 June 2010 (Day 1) & 8 July 2010 (Day 2).
A total of 11 schools participated in this workshop. They are: Boon Lay Gardens Pri, Juying Pri, South View Pri, Yew Tee Pri, West View Pri, Teck Whye Pri, Bukit View Sec, Assumption Pathway School, Jurong West Sec, Kranji Sec and Nan Hua High.
The workshop was conducted by NIE personnel, Mrs Patricia Lee (left seated). Along side with financial literacy knowledge, this workshop also teaches engaging pedagogy to support the infusion. The focus is to empower teachers with ideas and engaging pedagogy to equip students with the relevant knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to manage money wisely.
Although the new venture of providing a holistic pre-vocational education for students aged 13-16 is highly subsidized by the Ministry of Education, the School has to raise at least another S$1,500,000.00 as part of the school's contribution and to fund for specific facilities and programmes for the students.
The new facilities will include a hostel to support the school's residential programme, a training restaurant to provide a real work environment and a multi media library to enhance the students' low literacy amongst many others.
As part of our fund-raising efforts, a committee has been formed to organize a Golf Charity Event. Details of the event are as follows:
