Community involvement also includes outreach and service through network initiatives such as SSDB (Start Small, Dream Big). The centre’s environment promotes engagement through regular parent-teacher interactions and opportunities for parents to visit, observe, and be involved in child learning experiences.

However, parents are regularly engaged through open houses, family events, and the pastoral care programme led by the chaplain. These opportunities allow parents to participate in their child’s school life, give feedback, and strengthen connections with teachers and school leaders.
