Islamabad Parent-Teacher Conferences were held at Roots Millennium Schools in the twin cities, says a press release. The theme of these Parent-Teacher Conferences was ‘Science and Space’. The theme was no longer limited to germination of a seed or how a circuit works, but young scientists came up with some cool and jazzy ideas to make the science projects attention-grabbing. Students were excited and beaming with confidence as they informed parents about global climate change, the green house effect, oceans and more. They were found knowledgeable about earth, the solar system, and universe and displayed their projects and findings through slideshows and interactive games. Teachers helped students in presenting different projects using various science softwares. Projects on weather, satellite meteorology, Big Bang, current space missions and the New World Atlas remained popular among parents. Mobile hangings, connecting classrooms; everything was just apt and according to the theme. Young, vibrant and enthusiastic students were glad to show off their hard work to the parents. The conferences focussed on weaknesses of students and to work in collaboration to provide academic help and support. The main aim was to make parents aware of the strategies that they should adopt in order to fulfil the educational and academic needs of their child in order to help their children score good in the Final Term Examination. CEO Roots Millennium Schools Chaudhry Faisal Mushtaq, TI, while addressing the parents, stated that education plays pivotal role in the transformation of people into a well-balanced society. The main objective of these mid-term Parent-Teacher Conferences is an interface on the combined role of the school and parents in moulding successful future citizens. One of the parents, who attended the PTC, said that it went better than she expected. “The teaching staff did an excellent job of preparing the student folders, planning for grade-specific activities and presenting the data. I appreciate their hard work,” she said. Another parent said, “Teachers and school heads have clearly told us about how to get our children prepared for the upcoming Final-Term Examination.”
