The Schools had a vibrant year, highlighted by the achievements of its students and staff, the roll out of key professional initiatives, active participation of parents in school activities, and community support for the schools’ learning and co-curricular activities and projects. A parents’ survey was conducted in July 2010 with 66.6% participation rate. 98% of the parents who responded indicated that they were satisfied with the quality of the educational programme, facilities and resources, and schools’ engagement and communication with parents and caregivers. We welcomed Josephine Ong as principal of Towner Gardens School and Sharon Ng as principal of Lee Kong Chian Gardens School. Both are on secondment from the Ministry of Education and bring with them the experience of vice-principals in mainstream primary schools and passion for special education. We thank Salha Soo and Jenny Alexander for their many years of contribution as teachers and principals at MINDS Schools. MINDS schools are committed to the vision of building Schools of Excellence where every individual matters, and delivering on its mission of providing a vibrant learning environment that inspires our students towards independence and integration into society. Current School Programmes Our schools provide three levels of education: • Junior - 7 to 12 years old • Senior - 13 to 18 years old • Special - 7 to 18 years old who have high behaviour support needs With the start of the new school year from 1 January 2011, we stopped accepting children between the ages of 4 and 6 for our pre-school programme. This was part of the rationalization of our school services and is consistent with the provision of education in mainstream schools for children from age 7 onwards. A.
