GCS Parent Support Association

蓋城中文學校家長支援會 GCS Parent Support Association (PSA)

每個學年開始註冊時, 家長們要在註冊單上挑選一個家長支援會的小組, 現今的五個組是: 註冊,康樂,資訊及媒體,總務,文字及秘書事務. 每一家應有一家長參予這五個小組之一, 並提供服務給組裏相關事項. 學校會為沒有選擇小組的家庭分配小組. 不願參加任何小組的家庭可以選擇自動棄權. 並繳交家長支援費 (列在註冊表格上) 隨同註冊費一起交給註冊組。請家長參考註冊單附件有關家長支援會小組的性質及功能,挑選出最適合自己小組.

家長在蓋城中文家長支援會伴演極重要的角色.   蓋城中文學校屬非營利機購. 中文學校的成敗端賴家長的全力支持.  希望家長盡力協助蓋城中文家長支援會的活動.  董事會歡迎家長提供意見以推動中文家長支援會的活動.

In the beginning of every school year during registration, parents need to select one out of five PSA groups listed on the registration form.  The five groups are: Registration, Recreation, IT and Media, General Affairs and Document & Secretarial Resources. Every family needs to have at least one parent participate in the group and provide services within the selected group. The Board will assign a group for parents who didn’t make a selection.   Parents can choose to opt out of PSA and pay PSA supporting fee as listed on the registration form.  For details of the PSA its functionality and organization, please check the attachments of the registration form.

The parents’ role in GCS PSA is very important. GCS is a non-profit organization, and success of this organization relies upon the teamwork of all the GCS families.  Parents are expected to devote their ideas and time for the PSA function they are assigned to. The Board welcomes any ideas to improve the PSA functions.
