After construction of the new school got under way, HEF's office in Tungshih put top priority on community outreach. They began organizing workshops for parents so that the latter could act as assistants at school. The Tungshih office also began looking for ways to overcome legal restrictions so that the school could hire women from the local community (once they have received proper training) to care for kids after school.
新校園開始動工後，人本東勢工作站就把工作重心擺在社區化，規劃父母成長進修班，除了讓家長成為學校助力，也希望突破法令限制，讓學校課後托育的師資可以首先任用經過培訓的社區婦女。
