Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Financial Year 2017 was a whirlwind of activities for PPIS as we continued our 65th anniversary celebrations.

This year’s annual report will showcase many of the celebration activities which culminated into our Celebration Dinner in November 2017. It was a time to revisit our purpose of existence and at the same time, celebrate our achievements.

This financial year saw the setting up of our 7th Early Childhood Education centre and our new PPIS OASIS Centre for Fostering. Seeing what we have achieved thus far, we might easily forget the struggles that we as an organisation went through in the past to get to where we are today.

As we grow the organisation, it becomes more important for us not to lose sight of our mission of inspiring women and strengthening families. These will remain our core thrusts in our decisions, efforts and advocacy.

This is also a timely reminder to continually review our work and constantly rejuvenate our passion in making a difference in the lives of those we touch.

Wassalaam.

FY 2017/2018 was a challenging year with HR providing special support to the frontline staff working for the organisation.

With good training and proper guidance, the HR team was able to offer advice and provide employment guidelines to all 16 centres in PPIS. Aside from sharing knowledge, HR also empowered our frontline managers to deal with daily employment issues without having to seek consultation every time they were confronted with a problem.

FY 2017/2018 saw the launch of HR Intranet, offering information on PPIS employment, benefits and policies.

Employees can now log in to check or query any issues relating to HR matters at their convenience. This platform is excellent for staff engagement.

Enhancing HR Practices

HR has started working with Ernst & Young to enhance and improve our Recruitment & Selection and Performance Management processes. This project initiated by NCSS will address, amend and tighten our present HR system.

Facilities Management

Since its inception in the last FY, Facilities Management (FM) had overseen. The following works:

With streamlining maintenance contractors for M&E and Fire equipment in the previous FY, all our centres have been experiencing a better and safer environment. Next FY, cyclical maintenance of centres will again be the bulk of the department’s future projects as well as the setting up and relocation of one of our core centres.

ICT

ICT had been heavily involved in centres that FM had carried out projects on in the FY. It upgraded these centres’ ICT capabilities, upgrading data cabling as well as digitally upgrading communications and CCTV systems. ICT moved into leasing equipment such as desktop terminals and laptops in some centres, a step up from standardising its systems. This allows for better long term management of assets and lightening the organisation’s fixed assets load as the organisation grows.

ICT also continued with its digitalisation journey that was incepted in 2014. By the end of the FY, ICT had trained staff on Microsoft Office 365 and TenderBoard, the latter being the latest digital platform for the organisation in aid of simplifying procurement and enhancing transparency as an IPC. The PPIS Intranet was also introduced in this FY, with Human Resource as the first department to provide information to staff online apart from an organisational calendar.

This year, ICT has secured a sponsorship of USD $5,000.00 by Microsoft for our organisation’s licensing of Office 365 and cloud server use for another year. With all the developments taking place, ICT is ensuring PPIS is ready for a digital future.

CEDAW

Programmes:

Professional Programmes Enrichment to Reach out to Professionals (ERP)

One of the professional programmes conducted in this financial year is the Enrichment to Reach out to Professionals (ERP) Programme. E.R.P. offered professionals to engage in discourse on aspects that may be so common such as culture, values, religion and spirituality and focus on finding bridges with families. At ERP, we hold, challenge and nurture the professionals in their work with families.

As part of reaching out to Professionals, PPIS FTI worked together with Ms Nora Bateson, President of the International Bateson Institute and conducted a Warm Data Lab on 2nd November 2017 on the issue of Addictions. In addition, a Warm Data Lab entitled “Working with stuck systems” was also held with PPIS Family Service Centres on 4th November 2017.

Other trainings conducted

This year, PPIS FTI had conducted trainings in collaborations with PPIS Training and Consultancy.

One such training was conducted with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Mental Health entitiled “When is Mental Health a cultural (Malay Muslim) problem and when is it a medical problem – understand mental health from within”. This training involved psychologists and counsellors in the MHA who are working closely with the staff and participants within the various centres which includes the Singapore Prison Services.

Another training series that PPIS FTI is involved with is the Social Service Revisit series of trainings for Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). These training series are catered to Social Development Officers, Caseworkers and Managers in MUIS and

in the various mosques to enhance their skills for attending to the clients and families that they work with as well as the volunteer befrienders in their care.

As an institute, PPIS FTI hopes to conduct more training sessions and utilise taped sessions of PPIS FTI cases as a way of engaging people in conversations about how to work with families. The taped sessions will be used to highlight issues, therapeutic impasse and how we can develop learning with families as we work with them.

Enrichment: Reaching out to Enrich Families

An enrichment programme for couples was developed as a means to provide support to couples in their marital relationship with a special focus on those agreeing to reconcile. ‘Dear I See You’ is a couple’s group therapy. Offering couples a ‘holding space’ to learn from their spouses as well as from other couples.

Couples and families participated in small group discussions where issues of intimacy within the family is talked about in the open.

IbuBapa.SG Forum: Addictions – Beyond Individual

This year PPIS FTI had the opportunity to helm the IbuBapa.SG Forum which is a forum catered to parents navigating challenges in parenting children in the current generation. The theme for this year was “Addictions – Beyond Individual” with the aim of expounding the definitions surrounding addiction in hopes that the process can help to expand how families deal with addiction within the family.

Ustaz Mohammed Hannan Hassan was invited as a panellist to share the context of the religion in relation to issues of addiction.

Engagement Efforts

This year, PPIS FTI continues to reach out to professionals and agencies as part of its engagements efforts. We continue to reach out to families through the professionals working directly with the families as well as via professional engagements. These are:

This year we have also expanded our reach via traditional media network such as television and radio. This has also increased our visibility within the community and allows the community to know more about PPIS FTI and its services.

INSPIRASI PPISINSPIRASI PPIS provides marriage preparation and enrichment to minor couples, where either one or both parties are aged below 21 years old, and young couples where grooms are aged 21 to 24 years old.

PREMARITAL CONSULTATION (PMC)

PMC attendance 54 couples

Couples reported greater knowledge of the unique risk and/or protective factors in their relationship 90.7%

MARRIAGE EDUCATION WORKSHOP

Couples registered 52 couples

Couples completion rate 80.8%

Couples reported having greater knowledge in one of the seven key areas 100%

The Hub saw an increase of 64% in the number of couples who attended PMC compared to FY 2016/2017. This was attributed to the outreach effort initiated by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) which aimed to enhance awareness among soon-to-wed couples about the benefits of a marriage preparation programme.

Over the past year, the number of young couples attended the Hub where the groom is aged between 21 to 24 years old increased, from 5 couples to 19 couples. The Hub also extended its services to newly-wed couples who did not have the opportunity to attend the programme before their solemnisation.

582 couples and family members impacted through Inspirasi services.

100%

Attendance rates up – Higher number of couples attending PMC contributed to higher registration for the hub’s Marriage Education Workshop. The Hub continued to provide small group sessions which allowed for better interaction and greater flexibility in accommodating couples’ schedules. This led to a high completion rate for the Programme.

Increase outreach to benefit more couples – To reach out to non-Malay speaking couples, the Hub had translated the programme materials and conducted some of the runs in English.

Enhance marriage preparation programme curriculum Together with key partners, MSF and INSPIRASI@AMP, the Hub was involved in the review and enhancement of the curriculum for the marriage preparation programme based on research and best practices. The enhanced marriage preparation programme, which will provide better support for couples in managing multi-faceted challenges will be rolled out in FY 2018/2019.

Family Day 2017

In conjunction with the Hubs’ 10th anniversary, the Hub reconnected and invited couples married for 10 years to celebrate their marital milestone at this year’s Family Day which was graced by the Minister-in-charge-of Muslim Affairs, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim. The Hub also acknowledged the support of the couples’ parents in journeying with the couples through a poem writing and recitation competition.

Greater interest in parenting skills

The Hub observed increasing interest among couples to equip themselves with parenting skills. For example, during CI’s “Playdate with Your Kids” where couples learned about positive parenting, the event was oversubscribed at 190%.

Supporting couples in the early years of marriage

The percentage of couples married for five years or less who participated in CI activities rose from 35% last year to 41%. Whilst the Hub’s current support caters to couples up to their first ten years of marriage, it is important to focus efforts on reaching out and engaging couples in their first few years of marriage through CI activities as well as other post-marriage support initiatives.

THANK GOD IT’S our FIRST (T.G.I.F.)

T.G.I.F. is an engagement platform for Hubs to continue engaging couples within their first year of marriage.

Transiting into a marriage journey

During the T.G.I.F. engagement, couples were also encouraged to approach the Hub if they require further support through casework and counselling intervention. In FY 2017/2018, common challenges being raised by couples pertained to finances, housing, employment/skills upgrading as well as parenting.

Information And Referral

The Hubs addressed a total of 149 enquiries in FY 2017/2018. Majority of the enquiries were related to premarital consultation, followed by support needed by young couples in addressing their marital and practical concern. Outreach And Capability Building

Raising awareness of young couples’ needs

The Hub developed a framework for INSPIRASI PPIS and INSPIRASI@AMP to identify potential partners for networking and map out outreach initiatives to raise awareness of INSPIRASI programmes and services. In FY 2017/2018, the Hub reached out to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Big Love to enhance their understanding of the profile and needs of young couples as well as the support provided by INSPIRASI Hubs for this group. The Hub also established referral protocol with these agencies. A total of 16 persons attended the outreach session.

Building Capability

The Hub developed a training and competency framework with reference to the National Social Work Competency Framework. This is to guide the development of INSPIRASI staff to be better equipped in addressing the needs of young couples. To help social service providers engage young parents more effectively, the Hub organised a workshop on ‘Maternal-Infant Mental Health’ taught by a caseworker from Kandang Kerbau Hospital (KKH). A total of 23 participants benefited from the workshop which aimed to increase awareness of maternal-infant mental health issues as well as enabling agency professionals to support the psychological development of young mothers and babies.

MOVING FORWARD

The mandatory marriage preparation programme will affect minor couples (either party below 21 years old) who wish to apply for marriage from 1 October 2018. With this in view, PPIS will continue to work with the MSF and INSPIRASI@AMP to provide support to these couples in building strong and stable marriages, particularly during the early years of family formation.

AS-SALAAM A DIVORCE SUPPORT SPECIALIST AGENCY

We Are 3!

This FY PPIS As-Salaam has reached her 3rd year as a Divorce Support Specialist Agency (DSSA). As the team finds stability in organizing and implementing the programmes for the divorced/divorcing families, they are also exposed to changes and requirements expected of them in this new role.

FY 2017/2018 has been a challenging yet fruitful year, and we are glad to share the agency’s development here.

Publicity Efforts to Connect Families

At PPIS As-Salaam, we continue to promote the tagline “Ibu Bapa Selamanya” (Parents for Life), be it in our programme delivery, the collaterals that we produced as well as on the publicity platforms that were made available to us.

One such publicity platform was the Friday sermon, where PPIS As-Salaam had once again collaborated with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) to co-create the content for the sermon on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Apart from highlighting the points on positive parenting, the content of

the sermon had also been injected with pointers on healthy co-parenting if divorce is to happen in a family. We had also produced mobile phone screen cleaners as collaterals with the printed messaging of “Ibu Bapa Selamanya” (Parents for Life) to be distributed to the congregations at the mosques around Singapore.

During Children’s Day, we had also spread our love to the young ones in PPIS’ Early Childhood Education Centres and Student Care Centres, with a water bottle that comes with a spray mist. We had also included a ‘love message’ for the parents on the water bottle - for them to continue loving and caring their children, and that help is around if they ever need it.

Staff Capability Building

Three of our staff in PPIS As-Salaam are currently undergoing their Degree in Social Work at the Singapore University of Social Services (previously known as UNISIM). We have also sent one staff to attend the Post-Graduate Certificate in Systemic Thinking and Approaches, conducted by the Counselling and Care Centre.

Programme Participation/ Service Users FY2017/2018Our KPIs

FY 2017/2018 saw a steady increase in the number of service users served at PPIS As-Salaam, from 2628 (FY 2016/2017) to 2666 (FY 2017/2018). The increase is across the board for most of the programmes.

Casework & Counselling

We observed a similar, steady number of cases opened every quarter. Comparing the trend between FY 2016/2017 and FY

2017/2018 on the case concerns cited by new clients at case openings, there was a 50% increase observed under Child Management, followed by an 8% increase on the issue of Co-parenting.

We achieved the KPI target in FY 2017/2018, of having at least 100 active cases per quarter.

The senior staff had also attended trainings by local and overseas trainers organised by MSF for DSSA staff, related to working with high-conflict divorced couples. We hope these courses attended by the staff will not only further enhance our

skills in working with our clients, but to also inspire us in our work with vulnerable families.

Parenting PACT

The Parenting PACT programme had an increase in participation with the introduction of Parenting PACT 2 (PP2) in FY 2017/2018, which caters to parents with children up to 21 years old. Almost all sessions were fully attended.

The Parenting PACT programme reached out to more than 1500 participants in FY 2017/2018. The programme’s objectives are to highlight the impact of divorce on children, the importance of co-parenting, the need for self-care for parents, as well as the resources available in the community. More than 95% of the participants indicated that they have garnered knowledge from the talk, and 30% of the parents had indicated interest to sign up for further services provided by our agency.

Children in Between (CiB)

The CiB programme has been well received. Parents shared that by attending the programme, they were well informed on issues that could make their children feel caught in between their parents’ conflicts, and they felt that some of the communication skills shared in the programme are transferable in daily life, at least with their children. 12 runs of parents’ and children’s sessions respectively were conducted, meeting the KPI that had been set for the agency.

SUPPORT PROGRAMMES

SALAAM Support Programme for Children and Adolescents

The SALAAM Programme continued its meaningful collaboration with Muhammadiyah Welfare Home (MWH), by conducting one group work programme for the residents. Through alummi activities, like Drift Kart, members are able to meet children from other families and expand their social network, apart from enjoying themselves in the programmes prepared by the SALAAM team.

MAWAR Support Programme for Single Mothers

Amidst the recreation and support group programmes that were conducted in FY 2017/2018, one event provided a sense of accomplishment for some MAWAR members. PPIS As-Salaam. Six MAWAR members to volunteer at the CommChest Charity Run. They appreciated the opportunity to give back to the community and looked forward to more volunteering.

Both SALAAM & MAWAR had exceeded their KPI target in client satisfaction with more than 90% of positive feedback given on the programmes conducted. These two support programmes strived to deliver meaningful and impactful programmes to support members in their journey to continue life after divorce.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

The As-Salaam team is aware that more challenges await them in the years to come – with introduction of new programmes for all DSSAs as well as standards to achieve. With the support and teamwork that always exist within the team and the support from management, we hope to remain positive and give our best in serving our clients, Insya Allah!

The Centre further initiated the celebration of the nation’s first Stepfamily Day this year.

The developments of the strategic goals for the year FY 2017/2018 can be found below.

Remarriage Preparation Service

1. Reach

493 calls and referrals to VS’ Program Memupuk Kasih were received in FY 2017/2018.

This was an increase by more than 90 queries and referrals from FY 2016/2017. Several concurrent efforts had contributed to the increase in referrals to the service including a more concerted and aggressive publicity drive on Facebook since the start of the financial year. VS also made available online payment platforms for interested participants to register and make payment to attend the course hence increasing commitment to complete the course upon registration. A collaboration with the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) – through an outreach effort which aimed to enhance awareness among the soon-to-wed couples of the benefits of the marriage preparation programme and encourage them to attend relevant programmes – has also helped to attract the interest of remarrying couples to register for the course.

VISTA SAKINAH

REACH in FY2017/2018 ….• 226 remarrying couples attended pre-marital consultation • 220 remarrying couples completed VS’ Remarriage Preparation Programme, PMK • 97% of couples achieved at least one change in either having increased awareness of stepfamily issues and/or increased awareness of community resources • 22 runs of PMK workshop conducted in FY 2017/2018

2. PMK Workshop for Transnational Couples

VS embarked on a tailored PMK workshop to cater to the needs of remarrying transnational couples this year. Topics highlighted include the uniqueness of being in an international marriage and an appreciation on their adjustment to stepfamily and cultural differences. Asatizah were engaged as resource persons in developing the spirituality component of this curriculum. Topics such as maintenance (nafkah), inheritance (faraidh), legal guardian (wali) were discussed, in the context of an international marriage and for stepfamilies. The Asatizah were also mindful that some couples were new convert Muslims. An additional 11 runs of PMK workshops were conducted for transnational couples in FY 2017/2018 benefitting 47 couples.

Reaching out to enrich and strengthen stepfamilies through FITRAH

VS continued to enhance its delivery of Fitrah Enrichment by strengthening the various components of its programmes.

1. Support Group

Support group sessions were increased from 3 to 4 runs this year. Couples who attended the support group appreciated the therapeutic discussions as they were held in a safe and conducive environment. These couples have even set up their own informal network to support each other out of sessions.

2. Stepfamily Day & VS Facebook Launch

The highlight of the year was the inaugural Stepfamily Day held on 16 September 2017 at Sentosa. A total of 21 stepfamilies came in celebration together and took the opportunity to make new friends, bond with one another through food, games and activities.

VS’ Facebook page was also launched during this event with the presence of Guest-of-Honour, Minister Yaacob Ibrahim. This social media platform was created for VS to reach out to more stepfamilies.

3. Family recreation events

VS took a theme of giving back during the Iftar held in June 2017 as beneficiaries from 4PM were welcomed to join our stepfamilies breakfast together. A staycation held in December 2017 saw Asatizah and social workers working together on collaborative workshops for parents as well as children. Without a doubt, family recreation remains a popular programme. The smiles from numerous new stepfamilies were an affirmation of the importance of crafting these meaningful gatherings for the community.

Bunayya Children’s Services

The three-pronged approach in supporting children through their stepfamily journeys were maintained through preparation (KX workshops), adjustments (Project Thrive) and development (Project Aspire) focused services for children in stepfamilies.

REACH ….• 9 programmes organised in FY 2017/2018 • 3 of the programmes were conducted with the children’s support programme • 83 couples attended Enrichment programmes for the year • 92% of couples achieved at least one change in either having enhanced parenting skills, marital communication, improved relationships and/or social support network

1. Keluarga X’tra (KX)

7 runs of KX workshops were held with a total of 52 children enrolled by their parents and 63% attended the session. Through interactions and learning, children cited that they were “more aware of their feelings and concerns”, and “understand the changes they will be going through”.

2. Project Thrive

Project Thrive carried out 3 workshops in October 2017, November 2017 and February 2018. A total of 61 children and teenagers were registered for all the workshops and 90% attended the workshops.

MUIS and Madrasah Irsyad collaborated with VS to carry out a workshop for their beneficiaries and students in stepfamilies. In February 2018, VS engaged an external speaker to speak on sexuality to teens in stepfamilies. This curriculum was designed to be an extension of what schools would expose them to, focusing on morality and safety within stepfamilies and the social media environment.

3. Project Aspire

Project Aspire saw elderly beneficiaries of 4PM breaking fast together with Bunayya participants in June 2017.

Bunayya team had crafted motivational workshops during the year-end Fitrah staycation event. The theme was focused on finding peace through forgiveness. Techniques such as externalisation of forgiveness into a superhero, and drawing these superheroes out were utilised with the children. Concurrently the teenagers were engaged in discussions around anger and forgiveness. A total of 48 children were involved in the event.

REACH ….• 11 programmes organised in FY 2017/2018 • 113 children attended Enrichment programmes for the year • 96% of children achieved at least one change in their coping skills and social support

Casework and Consultations

427 Information and Referrals

352 were opened as cases

Most of the cases VS attended to in FY 2017/2018 presented issues related to marital difficulties, stepfamily adjustments as well as dealing with divorce. VS caseworkers maintained dedication in attending to clients during their private consultation sessions.

KEEPING IN TOUCH with PMK Couples from Batch 2014

VS touched base with PMK couples who went through the programme in 2014 and who were now 2 to 3 years into their

remarriage. 3% of couples had cancelled their marriage plans along the way, whilst the majority were found to be still happily married.

TRAINING OF SOCIAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS

• 30 MSF officers attended a 1-day training course on Working Effectively with Stepfamilies for social service professionals• About 80 social work students from Nanyang Polytechnic attended a lecture on working with stepfamilies and its marital dynamics.

MOVING FORWARD

VS plans to experiment with more ways of gaining online presence in order to educate and make its services more accessible. Research efforts on ensuring a robust remarriage programme will also be undertaken with the support of its stakeholders. VS will also enhance its programme effectiveness through evidence-based curriculum, building trainer capabilities and evaluation of its programmes. Cross-learning with various international programmes available for stepfamilies will also further inform the centre on its practice and in line with its goal of being a leading agency for stepfamilies.

IMPACT94% of couples from 2014 PMK Batch are happily married.

The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), appointed PPIS Oasis as the third national fostering agency, set up to promote family-based care of foster children in need.

Since its inception on 1 August 2017, PPIS Oasis has been managing a total of 60 foster children and supporting 37 foster parents in their fostering endeavours. The centre aims to recruit 12 more foster parents in the next one year, to support the needs of children who are placed in out-of-home-care.

Conversations with Mufti

Prior to the centre’s inception, an exclusive dialogue session with the Mufti of Singapore, Dr Mohamed Fatris Bakaram was organised on 15 July 2017. The two-hour session which had more than 100 attendees, clarified the rights and status of adopted and fostered children in Islam. We video recorded and uploaded the event over Youtube to be used as resource in our outreach efforts.

As a follow-up to the session with the Mufti, PPIS Oasis published a booklet titled ‘Religious Advisory on Fostering.’ It contains frequently asked questions about the Islamic rulings surrounding fostering, and was produced in consultation with MUIS’ Office of Mufti. These booklets are shared with existing Muslim foster parents, and other Muslim families who are interested in the fostering scheme.

Tea Session with Foster Parents

On 19 August 2017, PPIS Oasis collaborated with the MSF to organise a tea session for foster parents, whose management of cases were transferred to the new centre. The tea session introduced PPIS and its services to these foster parents, and also provided a platform for PPIS Oasis to gather responses from foster parents on the support they hoped to receive for themselves and their foster children. While foster parents were engaged during the tea session, foster children had the opportunity to create their ‘Tree of Life.’ The children identified significant people in their life, and included these people in their trees.

PPIS Oasis Awards Ceremony

An awards ceremony was held in January 2018 to recognise the achievements of foster children; both in academics and other aspects such as sports and good conduct in school. Awards were also presented to selected outstanding foster parents who have shown exceptional dedication and hard work in caring for their foster children. The event hosted over 15 foster families and 28 foster children. The award ceremony closed with a performance from the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Silat Team.

Volunteer Tea Session

PPIS Oasis organised a ‘Volunteer Welcome Tea’ in February 2018 specially for volunteers to connect with the staff of PPIS Oasis as well as other volunteers. This platform enabled them to share their strengths, interests, hopes and the differences they would like to see in the lives of foster children. During the tea session, PPIS Oasis also shared upcoming events which the volunteers could sign up for. To date, the Centre has more than 20 volunteers.

Recruitment Efforts

More than 15 sharing booths were set-up between the months of July 2017 to March 2018, to increase visibility of PPIS Oasis as a Centre for Fostering, and to increase awareness on fostering aside from recruiting foster parents.

Future Plans

PPIS Oasis plans to increase the awareness on fostering and recruit more foster parents to meet the increasing need. This includes holding more sharing booths at heartlands and mosques, and having more sharing sessions where existing foster parents can share their experiences on fostering to other potential foster parents.

The Centre will also roll out newly crafted programmes that will provide therapeutic support for both foster parents and foster children, and effective training and casework management for foster parents to enhance their capacity and skills.

FY2017 IN REVIEW

PPIS Family Service Centre (East) or FSCE, continued to harness its strengths in community work as it entered FY2017/2018. PPIS FSCE rebranded its community work programme to Community@FSCE (previously known as Community@461). This rebranding allowed for a process of renewal to the programme’s focus, consequently leading to enhancements to the programme’s structure.

PPIS FSCE also took the opportunity to tap on community initiatives developed under its Community@FSCE programme to extend its reach and network to other community agencies – this was done with the hope of increasing the centre’s beneficiaries for its casework and counselling service.

The centre’s support group programme also went through a process of review in FY2017/2018 – renamed Sulaman Suri, the programme redirected its target beneficiaries towards elderly women to impart the message of Healthy Aging.

CASEWORK & COUNSELLING

While continuing to provide casework & counselling services to the community, FSCE set out to increase case referrals from the community. The centre connected with community agencies such as Al-Ansar Mosque, as well as Action for Aids. This contributed towards a sizeable number of referrals coming in from these agencies.

REVITALIZING COMMUNITY – COMMUNITY@FSCE

The Community Work & Outreach team mooted the idea of having a Community Garden as its major community work project for FY2017/2018. Using the Community Garden project as the centrepiece of its community work initiatives, the activities executed under the different components of the Community@FSCE programme revolved around the use of the garden as a space, a tool or metaphor.

As part of its Community@FSCE activity, PPIS FSCE embarked on a needs assessment exercise to gather the views and feedback from the Ping An Green community on the development of a Community Garden. The exercise indicated that 80.2% of 250 respondents were open to having a Community Garden within the Ping An Green neighborhood. This positive response had allowed PPIS FSCE to proceed with its plans to materialise the Community Garden.

Apart from the community work activities, the programme also focused on digital outreach done via social media platforms. By the end of FY 2017/2018, PPIS FSCE increased its Facebook likes from 30 likes (Apr 2017) to 900 likes (March 2018), and Instagram followers increased from 7 followers (Apr 2017) to 110 followers (March 2018). The CWO team started of a #peopleofChaiChee series, as part of its social media engagement – the series featured posts on

interviews done with individuals working or contributing to the Chai Chee community.

The programme also engaged 5 corporate entities through its Conversations with FSCE component, apart from the 8 community agencies it outreached to. This engagement with corporate entities yielded 3 offers for sponsorship of the programme’s items.

REINVIGORATING FAMILY CONNECTIONS

A Special Project activity entitled ‘Gift of a Lifetime’ was conducted on 23 December 2017. This family activity provided an avenue for families in the community to bond together, with the hope of enhancing family connectedness between family members. The activity also aimed to impart knowledge, skills and values to families on the importance of positive communication among family members.

A total of 85 participants (consisting of 36 children and their parents/caregivers) attended the 1-day activity. Participating families were immersed in interactive workshops conducted by Bee Amazed, Diggersite, as well as a Ground-Up Initiative Farming during the activity.

REGENERATING THROUGH MUTUAL SUPPORT – SULAMAN SURI

The Sulaman Suri Support Group programme targeted elderly women aged 50 and above. Aimed at providing a platform for mutual support for elderly women to have meaningful conversations around their life’s transitions. The 6-session programme was successfully completed by 10 women. PPIS FSCE collaborated with Sunlove Seniors’ Activity Centre for one run of the Sulaman Suri programme in March 2018.

RE-MEMBERING CHAI CHEE

As PPIS FSCE prepares itself for its move to its new premises in Wisma Geylang Serai, it is equally important to recall other key milestones achieved in FY 2017/2018.

Municipal Services Award 2017

PPIS FSCE continues to be a supporter and one of the partner agencies in the Kembangan-Chai Chee Local Community Social Network (KCC-LCSN). Arising from the many collaborations in case management of this platform, PPIS FSCE was recognised for its contributions and efforts in the Intervention for Hoarding Cases in the Kembangan-Chai Chee community. The centre received the Municipal Services Awards in October 2017.

Carnival@461 – March 2018.

The Carnival@461 event continues to be a signature community event held by PPIS FSCE. For FY 2017/2018’s carnival event, the centre redirected its publicity efforts for the event towards the purchased flat community in Chai Chee. Aptly named, Carnival@461: Chai Chee Cares!, the event had hoped to highlight the spirit of caring for the community and how a community can demonstrate care for vulnerable members of the community. With the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin as the Guest-of-Honour, the event was attended by 1302 participants. The Centre also engaged 18 community agencies to be part of this carnival event.

Community Garden

The centre had forged a close working relationship with Ping An Green Residents’ Committee (RC). With the RC’s support and assistance, the Community Garden project will continue through FY 2018/2019. The centre sees the garden as one of the ‘gifts’ that will continue to benefit the Chai-Chee community, even after it has moved out of the Kembangan-Chai Chee zone.

Continued Collaboration with Key Partners and Stakeholders

In total, PPIS FSCE collaborated with 25 community partners and agencies in FY 2017/2018 for its programmes and services. This include fostering a closer working relationship with two Residents’ Committee, Ping An Green and Ping Yi Green. The centre strongly believes in the value of collaborating with other partners and agencies – and will continue to maintain this work position and practice in years to come.

PPIS FAMILY SERVICE CENTRE (WEST)CASEWORK AND COUNSELLING

For FY 2017/2018 PPIS Family Service Centre – West (FSCW), managed 341 casework and counselling (C&C) cases, about one fifth less than the previous FY. This year about 58.9% of the FSC’s clients came from FSCW’s service boundary, consisting of Hong Kah North and Bukit Gombak constituencies – this is a 6% increase compared to last year. FSCW continued its outreach to the residents via collaboration with community partners.

With the setup of the new rental units at Blocks 412 and 447, we are seeing residents coming in to seek support.

It is noteworthy that FSCW still received requests from its partners and clients staying beyond its designated boundaries for its counselling services by its Malay-Muslim caseworkers.

Similar to last year, financial issues remained as the highest presented issue by our clients (27%) followed by marriage related issues (17%) and parenting issues (10%). Other presented issues faced by our clients included housing, elderly and mental health concerns.

Information and Referral (I&R)

560 I&R were received (walk-ins, phone calls, faxes and email) in FY 2017/2018.

This is a slight drop by less than 4% compared to last FY.

Casework Output and Outcome Indicators

The FSC continues to immerse itself with the SSNet system as well as incorporating the Code of Social Work Practice (CSWP) in the management of cases. MSF continues to lend its support in building up the caseworkers’ capability by revisiting the issue of risk management and on writing a good case recording. Generally, FSCW has been meeting the target for active quarterly caseload of 200 or more for this financial year.

GROUPWORK

This year, the FSCW decided to rename the FSC’s Groupwork programme to Support@H.O.M.E. The programme focussed on two client groups; Women and Children. The Groupwork objectives remained the same as the former H.O.M.E programme, which are “Help”, “Outreach”, “Motivate” and “Educate”.

Support@H.O.M.E: Women’s Group

The women’s group targeted women with children who have expressed difficulties in juggling their multiple roles. The nature of the group was psycho-educational and support. It was a platform for participants to discuss about “self” around the 3 Rs, namely Re-discover, Respite and Re-energise. In FY 2017/2018, 5 out of 10 registered participants successfully completed the programme which was conducted fortnightly over 7 sessions on Saturdays. These participants were identified by their Social Workers to participate in the programme as part of their holistic casework intervention strategy.

Through their participation in this programme, participants experienced the re-discovery of self to improve their sense of competencies, found respite in between their everyday roles through conversation, and shared their experiences and mutual learning in the group interactions. During the finale session, participants were rewarded with 15 minutes of reflexology and writing motivational messages to one another. Some feedback received from the participants included:

“Program sungguh bermanfaat kepada saya yang sedang menghadapi stress. Ia menyedarkan saya, sebagai wanita kita juga perlu memberi masa untuk diri sendiri bukan sahaja kepada orang lain”

Puan Aminah

“Saya selalu merasa seronok dan tenang bila ke program ini. Setiap kali keluar dari sini, saya berasa lagi kuat dan tabah”

Puan Sheila

Suppport@H.O.M.E: Children’s Group

The children’s group, was also psycho-educational and support in nature, and was targeted at children aged between 10 to 12 years old. They learnt about feelings and how to express them in healthy ways, techniques in expressing empathy for others and making positive choices.

In FY 2017/2018, a total of 13 children registered but only 10 children continued with the 3-day group work programme during the June School holidays in 2017. Similar to the women’s group, the children were identified by their Social Workers to benefit from the Groupwork as an additional support for the families’ case management intervention.

As part of the Groupwork process, facilitators met up with the children’s parents to share feedback on their children’s achievements as well as to obtain feedback from parents on the observable impact on their children after their participation in the Groupwork. The parents were also encouraged to write a card to their children to share their hopes and aspirations that they have for them.

“Kakak nampak perubahan dalam Ahmad selepas programme ini.. Dulu dia rasa semua tak berlaku adil dengan dia. Kakak Nampak dia lebih bersabar dengan kakak dan adiknya. Dia pun nampak lebih prihatin terhadap kakak, bila dia berlumba-lumba menolong mengangkat barang-barang pasar.”

COMMUNITY WORK

The FSC reached out to more than 1800 residents in Bukit Gombak and Bukit Batok through setting up booths at community events, distributing the centres’ collaterals and linking clients to available community resources.

Learning Trips

Community Workers embarked on learning trips which included a visit to Fei Yue Family Service Centre (Bukit Batok) and PPIS FSC-East. The learning from these trips was beneficial to the FSC in planning its community work efforts for the following year.

Community Outreach to Residents and Partners at Bukit Gombak Constituency This year the FSC was able to extend its outreach efforts to residents of Bukit Gombak through participating in Bukit Gombak’s MAEC Hari Raya High Tea, distribution of FSC brochures and collaterals at Bukit Gombak’s ‘Say No to Diabetes’ roadshow, collaborating with Hillview Secondary for the distribution of Chinese New Year groceries and setting up a booth at an event organised by the Singapore Anglican Community Services (SAC) titled ‘Healthy Minds, Happy Lives’ on 22 October 2017. Through the FSC’s involvement in these event, we were able to reach out to both Malay and non-Malay residents of Bukit Gombak constituency, to inform them of the FSC’s programmes and services.

Community Outreach at Hong Kah North Constituency With our sight on the new area of Bukit Gombak, the FSC was actively involved in outreach efforts with residents and partners within Bukit Gombak Constituency. These efforts included collaborations with community partners, namely Hong Kah North Community Club (HKNCC) and Perdaus for the annual Ramadhan Drive and Iftar sessions. The FSC collaborated with South West CDC and corporate sponsors such as T-Play, Timberland and Resorts World Sentosa, in the implementation of respective Community Service where its clients residing within Hong Kah North had benefitted from. The FSC also set up a booth at the Hong Kah North Zone 1’s 25th Anniversary cum Christmas celebration. It was an excellent opportunity for

the FSC to mingle with residents and partners while creating awareness for PPIS FSC-West.

Networking with Community Partners

PPIS FSCW received a donation of 86 hampers for its clients from Millennia Institute in June 2017. The FSC is currently in discussion with the institute to continue collaborations for the coming year. Networking sessions with Perdaus were also carried out to explore how their programmes and services may benefit our clients and service users.

H.O.M.E @ St 31

For FY2017/2018, the FSC piloted a half-day family themed event named H.O.M.E@ST31 for our beneficiaries. The event served as a platform to disburse the annual Back-To-School vouchers for eligible clients and an opportunity to showcase and connect beneficiaries to available community resources such as Glyph, CHAS, NUH Reach (Mental Health for Youth), Mendaki SENSE and CNB. Feedback from participants of the event:

MOVING FORWARD

For the upcoming FY, FSCW will continue to improve on professional staff’s casework and counselling skills under the guidance of the MSF Master Practise Leader (MPL) scheme. The centre will reach out to residents within its service boundaries, as well as those who specifically request to be served by the FSC. Furthermore, FSCW intends to focus on implementing a signature Community Work event for the community that the FSC is serving.

PROGRAMME AND ACTIVITIES – Special events, collaborations and achievements

Aside from the regular daily routines of the SCC, the Centre also organised additional fun and quality programmes throughout the year. These included visits to Fort Canning to explore Singapore’s Maritime industry, the Philatelic Museum to educate the children about the history of stamps in Singapore, and a visit to Pertapis Senior Children’s Home to entertain and give joy to the elderly residents. Festivals were celebrated as part of Cultural Exchange Programmes. Enrichment and motivational workshops as well as a Kid’s Camp were conducted during the school holidays.

SCC further organised special events and collaborated with other organisations provided opportunities for the children to learn and contribute positively to others. Some of the special events and collaborations are listed below.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE AND CHARACTER

SINGAPORE CHILDREN’S SOCIETY – SINGAPORE CHILDREN’S FORUM

13 upper level children from PPIS SCC were selected to attend the Singapore Children’s Forum: What Makes You Shine. The 3-day pre-forum day camp and a half day forum delved on topics such as family, relationships and love, while presenting in front of 250 guests. The children showed extreme confidence in answering impromptu questions from the guests.

ASPIRE – DAY CAMP

About 120 SCC children enjoyed working and playing together while attending a 2-day day camp at Chung Cheng High School organised by the Aspire Team during the last school holidays.

GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY

SCCB GIVES BACK - BUTIQ 3R

Butiq 3R was a project for the children to distribute pre-loved Raya items that had been donated by the public for needy families. The initial plan was to open the boutique just for PPIS beneficiaries but we received generous support from the public and hence opened it to residents in need too. To publicise the event, the SCC children gave out flyers to the residents to explain the purpose of this initiative.

The children used their upcycling projects as decoration to transform their classrooms into a stylish boutique with different display sections. On the day of the event, 150 guests came to collect their free Raya clothes. 20 selected children were stationed at various sections to ‘serve’ the guests in getting their choice of clothes and accessories. Every guest brought home at least 3 to 4 full bags of clothes.

SCCJ GIVES BACK - CHARITY CARNIVAL

The Charity Carnival was introduced with the same concept of collecting pre-loved Raya items but sold at a minimal amount to the public. The children worked together to transform the void deck into a colourful carnival. 20 selected children were stationed at various booths to encourage guests to buy their items. About 100 guests came to the carnival and were happy with the children’s services. With the theme of the event: ‘From children to children’, proceeds made by selling those Raya items were donated to the Rainbow Children’s Society.

KIDS COOL PARTY

This year’s Children’s Day was extra special. The SCC parents secretly organised a surprise celebration for the children. The Kids Cool Party was a get-together party between children, families and staff of SCCB. It was the first time the parents were involved in planning and preparing for the party. Parents also contributed to the food spread and even gave prizes for awards and lucky draw. There was a carnival, a mini concert from parents and SCCB alumni, an award presentation and lucky draw giveaways.

JURONG SPRING ZONE A RC - PAINT-A-BIN

In conjunction with National Day, children from SCCJ were invited by Jurong Spring Zone A RC to their Paint-A-Bin event. The children were given 2 dust bins for them to design and decorate with a theme of ‘Keep Singapore Clean’.

Archery was introduced as a new sport to the children. We engaged Ms Al Khansa to conduct a two-hour archery workshop for 70 upper level children from both SCCs. The children learnt the basics of aiming and shooting at a target with proper handling of a bow and arrow at the rooftop of Muhajidin Mosque.

PONY RIDING

Last December, 70 lower level children from both SCCs went to Gallop Stable, Punggol Ranch. The children had a guided tour of the ranch and learnt how to groom and feed the horses. They were also able to ride the ponies there. The valuable experiences at Gallop Stable made the children consider working with horses in their future careers.

SPORTCARES - TENNIS

Sportcares has constantly organised sports related activities for SCC’s children. Recently, they engaged coaches from the Tennis Academy to conduct tennis workshop for the children. About 30 children benefitted from this programme. The children learnt the basics of tennis, such as holding a tennis racket, standing in proper position to hit the tennis ball and techniques of throwing and hitting.

VERTICAL FARMING @ SKY GREENS

40 children were selected to participate a Science programme organised by Bayer Singapore. The children were introduced to a cool experiment that involved liquid nitrogen at the Science Centre Singapore (SCS). Then they moved on to another area at SCS to learn about farming and identifying parasites found in farming. Next they proceeded to Sky Greens to learn more about the first vertical farming in Singapore.

DISCOVERING NEW PLACES

HERITAGE TRAILS

30 Upper Level children attended an Indian-Chinese Heritage Trail Guided Tour organised by the National Heritage Board. Many historical stories of Sun Yat Sen were shared with the children when they visited the Sun Yat

Sen Memorial Hall. At the Indian Heritage Centre, children learnt about the Indian culture and the different religions and beliefs of the Indian community.

MARITIME TRAILS

An adventure trail at the Fort Canning for 60 of our SCC children was organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. The children climbed up the hills of Fort Canning to learn about the different flags found there and why they were at the top of Fort Canning. They then headed to the premises of the Fullerton Hotel to catch a glimpse of one of the lighthouses in Singapore.

LEARNING JOURNEY TO OUR TAMPINES HUB

Recently, Our Tampines Hub was opened to the public and 50 SCC children explored the new hub by playing an Amazing Race. Clues and tasks were given to solve before proceeding to various stations. They also visited the library as part of the race. The reward for completing this Amazing Race was a dip in the swimming pool at Our Tampines Hub.

All these activities were conducted as planned for the year. The activities were educational and centred on enhancing the children’s social awareness, helping them learn not just about taking, but also of giving back to family, friends and society.

DINE @ SCC

We introduced Dine@SCC in April for parent-staff discussions about their child’s social progress. About 65 parents attended FY 2017/2018’s event held on 2 different time slots. In both sessions, parents met with their child’s staff-in-charge and were also updated with SCC’s activities and collaborations for the year. Through this event, SCC staff were able to update parents on their child’s progress and SCC’s activities, to better understand parent’s concerns and build stronger bonds with them. The children, together with their parents, also had family bonding time over dinner prepared by the centre.

CENTRE ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Various PPIS Child Development Centres have organised activities for both both children and their parents that were centred around PPIS’ curriculum and core values. In addition to field trips and excursions to places of educational interest and cultural events coinciding with festive seasons, centres embarked on “bringing the classroom outside”, such as storytelling by the park and nature trails. Festive events like Chinese New Year and Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali and Christmas continue to instil the awareness among the children about the different races that exist in Singapore. These festive events were creatively carried out from as simple as food sampling to slightly more elaborate ones such as traditional fashion shows.

Furthermore, to instil values in our children, national events such as Sports Day, National Day, Total Defence Day, Racial Harmony Day and Mothers’ Day, continue to be the children’s favourites. In addition, centres also embarked on special projects benefiting the community in mind. These included “Projek Ramadhan” or “Ramadan Charity Drive” where the children helped to cook porridge and bake cookies, whilst parents donated bags of groceries for distribution among the needy residents living within and beyond the vicinity of the centres. This is with the aim of inculcating the values of compassion, empathy and team work through generous contribution from parents and staff in helping needy families to welcome the blessed month of Ramadan.

A programme that deserves to be mentioned is PPIS Bukit Batok’s ‘Enchanted Countries of the Month’. Each month, the teachers will set up their common space with props and displays of a country, depicting its culture, language, food and clothes. The teachers themselves will also “dress up”, turning themselves into “locals” of the country as they “host” the children who will “visit” these countries and learn about it from their teachers. Response from the children and feedback from parents have been nothing short of fantastic.

On a national level this year, all seven centres took part in the “Start Small Dream Big”(SSDB) initiative, to raise funds for a befitting beneficiary. For example, PPIS Child Development Centre Sembawang Vista decided on a butterfly-saving journey called “Wonders of Butterflies”. Working together with Wildlife Reserves Singapore, their children learnt the importance of having butterflies in our ecosystem and how these seemingly menial creatures, when at risk of extinction, will affect plant growth and human food sources. For the finale of their SSDB project, they will be organising a carnival where items are handmade by children and will be on sale at the carnival.

COLLABORATION/ PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY

Collaborating and partnering with community organisations continue to be a cornerstone of our community outreach. In FY 2017/2018, our centres partnered with schools, companies and organisations such Circle of Care, National Library Board, Singapore Zoo, S.E.A Aquarium, United World College and Mendaki.

For instance, PPIS Child Development Centre Pasir Ris 1 Kindergarten children visited United World College (UWC) where they participated in Speech and Drama Activities specially curated by UWC’s students to help improve our children’s social and language skill.

In October 2017, in conjunction with Bulan Bahasa, our Kindergarten 1 and 2 children from PPIS Child Development Centre Bukit Batok took part in Tunas 2.0 at Bukit Batok East Community Centre. The children participated in the Busana Competition which showcased Malay traditional clothes such as the kebaya, baju cekak musang and sanggul lintang. Our children came in third for the Busana Competition while their Rasa Sayang Dikir Barat performance in the Malay Folk Song competition got them a first runner-up position.

These efforts run in line with the SPARKs accreditation criterion of ‘Working with the Community’.

In FY 2017/2018, 7oaks continued to dedicate all its resources towards the management and growth of PPIS’ Early Childhood Education (ECE) centres. This is in line with the plan to stabilise and strengthen PPIS ECE’s quality in their core services and human capital expertise.

Customer

7oaks continues to drive PPIS centres in achieving high occupancy of its infant and childcare spaces. All void-deck childcare centres operated at full or exceeding occupancy while PPIS ECE Bukit Batok centre continues to enrol more children compared to the previous year.

The capacity of all centres has increased by 33% with the commencement of new extensions at Sembawang Vista centre in July 2017, Pasir Ris centre 1 in March 2018 and the opening of PPIS’ latest centre at Jurong West St. 91 in December 2017. Together with the new extension at Pasir Ris centre 2, which opens in April 2018, PPIS centres can accommodate 840 students in total, up from 596 in 2016.

People

In efforts to raise the standards at the centres, 7oaks worked closely with PPIS Human Resource team in identifying and developing high potential staff for higher responsibilities. In 2017, 7oaks and PPIS embarked on the Overseas Learning Journey programme.

Between June and November 2017 to March 2018, a total of 7 teachers and Principals were sent on study trips and conferences to Tainan (Taiwan), Helsinki (Finland), Brussels (Belgium) and Melbourne (Australia). These trips opened our staff to gain valuable experiences such as, understanding how the different cultures shapes the curriculum delivery, lesson pedagogy and classroom environments.

7oaks collaborated with PPIS to form a Curriculum Development team to spearhead the review and crafting of the latest core and niche curriculum from Early to Preschool Years. In terms of career path, 7oaks successfully proposed for the introduction of two new positions under the Teaching Track i.e. Vice-Principal and Assistant Senior Teacher.

7oaks also embarked on a digitisation journey with PPIS ECE centres. Partnering with Little Lives, a leading Preschool Management System from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in Singapore, we introduced digital attendance-taking and enhanced e-communication with parents to get updates more easily.

In addition, 7oaks secured funding from e2i for the procurement of digital TV signages, projectors and screens at all 7 centres. Furthermore, new computers are assigned to each class for teacher’s and children’s use, on top of iPads designed to support the roll-out of Little Lives at the centres.

Next 12 Months

The digitisation journey will pick up pace with more purposeful integration of technology into the classrooms.

7oaks will continue to inculcate a continuous learning culture through higher intensity of in-house training and greater oversight in maintaining the SPARK standards towards preparation of the SPARK Developmental Visits which is due in 2019.
