Aiming at strengthening the connection and communication with the parent-teacher associations (PTAs), the Inter-school PTA Meeting was held on 8 Nov 2021. Project Leader Professor Amy HA, as the host of the meeting, briefed attendees on the project achievements, latest research findings, as well as the upcoming parent initiative (i.e. Fun to Move@JC Parent Workshop Programme 2022). During the discussion session, Ms WONG Po Yam, Principal of Po Leung Kuk Chong Kee Ting Primary School shared their school-based experience in engaging with parents. Ms Jade MOK, Vice-Chairperson of the PTA of Po Leung Kuk Lam Man Chan English Primary School, shared how their children and parents benefitted physically and socially by participating in Fun to Move@JC. Other parents also expressed their gratitude for the Project, specifically for providing great opportunities and suggestions for family exercises free of charge.
