Hi everyone! I’m Lisa, a final year student in NUS and a primary school tutor. My friends and I are starting free advanced mathematics lessons (P4-P6) to support the community in 2027, and the program will run from Feb 2027 to Dec 2027. We’re looking to gather interest in this program by September 15, so If you’re interested for your child to join, you can indicate your interest early here! https://catapultclub.notion.site/3c0420cd7e6a807b870ef0e855e6cbce?pvs=105 Check out our notion website for more information! https://catapultclub.notion.site/Catapult-Club-1cc420cd7e6a8383a99e016635c95222

@thebottomsupblog said: I have finally completed my course! Happy to share regarding these programmes and the actual employment leads that came about from them, if anyone is keen: Specialist Diploma in Career Counselling (RP) https://www.rp.edu.sg/lifelong-learning/courses/specialist-diploma-in-career-counselling/ Specialist Diploma in Business Analytics (RP) https://www.rp.edu.sg/lifelong-learning/courses/specialist-diploma-in-business-analytics/ Generation Singapore Bootcamp: Junior Data Engineer https://singapore.generation.org/sctp-jrdataengineer/ I’ve taken them all; maxed out my SkillsFuture like a good citizen Congratulations! You’ve really done a lot! I’ve been a bit busier the past few months with travelling, volunteering etc. I’ll still be rather busy till about late-Oct. I plan to do a couple of EdX courses (Just noted that my annual subscription runs out on 16 Oct!). I was thinking of doing a couple of LinkedIn Learning courses (free and short!) on AI uses through NLB, but then found that I am unable to access even though my login and password are correct. I’ve reported it, and hopefully they’ll get back to me.

This also helps your child to truly understand instead of merely memorizing. I would love to chat with parents who can relate. Pls feel free to comment below to discuss more!!

@xiuying_ Yes, those symptoms can be linked to lupus, especially when fatigue, joint pain and a facial rash appear together, but proper tests are still needed because other conditions can cause similar symptoms. The experience I’m sharing is actually my sister’s story. She had been feeling unusually tired, with joint pain that came and went, and she would develop a rash on her face after spending time in the sun. After further checks, she was diagnosed with lupus. Thanks to Dr Anindita Santosa, she better understood her condition and received the right care to manage her symptoms. Having a lupus specialist in Singapore who could support her through the diagnosis gave our family much more peace of mind. 🤍

“I can say from experience that raising boys in the digital world we live in comes with a different set of challenges from raising girls. It is not that boys are innately more difficult, but that the narratives surrounding manhood have been coloured by the manosphere and are often absorbed by teenagers away from the inquisitive eyes of parents.” https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/its-getting-harder-to-raise-a-boy-today

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone had the above titled experience? I hope to relate my dad’s experience which can serve as a warning to future employers. My elderly dad is close to 90 years old. A helper was engaged to take care of both my parents. The helper accused my dad of molestation to get out of the job. Police came and took her away from my dad’s place while interrogating him. I believe the agency has aided her as she is new and wouldn’t have dared come out with such a scheme without advise. My dad was under stress and felt helpless while the helper was placed in a comfortable home and will be given a temporary work with a hotel whilst earning more pay and having 2 days off. Meanwhile, my dad and his address was blacklisted and we couldn’t hire any helper to care for my bed ridden mum. We had to appeal to MP for help as MOM was insistance on the ban. There is no recourse in our law for this false accusation. We hired a defence lawyer which cost $5K++. I regretted hiring as there is no recourse and its a waste of money. I had to accompany my dad to police station for statements. After close to a year, the police decided not to proceed with the case and the helper’s agency forfeited all our fees without replacement as they claim it was in the contract but couldn’t show us where it was written. This is clearly a loop hole exploited by agency and I hope to see if anyone had the same encounter. I hope the relevant authorities can look into this loop hole and prevent more employers from suffering this scam.

eh you can try buy from pickme sg? theirs are frozen salmon but actually the quality quite good one. https://pickme.sg/collections/buy-salmon-online-singapore can try.

Hi everyone, I’m conducting a short 3–4 minute research survey to understand what parents of children aged 5–10 value when choosing sports programs. I’m particularly interested in coaching quality, development, scheduling, cost and what makes parents feel a program is worth paying for.

This visual map story by ST is pretty cool! Families can refer to it when exploring different neighbourhoods, or to learn something new about a familiar place: https://www.straitstimes.com/multimedia/graphics/2026/08/singapore-map-towns/index.html

Hey Kiasuparents, We’re Bit by Bit Coding, a groundup that teaches Python for free. No catch, no fees, no experience prerequisites, and no “premium track” hidden behind paywalls. Our mission is to remove financial barriers to deep technical literacy. BbB acts as the zero-cost capstone bridge for passionate students, teaching them data structures, object-oriented programming, and foundational AI/ML at zero cost. We are recognised under the BAGUS Together ecosystem (an initiative by NVPC, Temasek Foundation, and Tote Board), supported by the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (under MCCY), and currently run our main cohorts out of *SCAPE Singapore. We’re also an official programme under Temasek Foundation’s OSCAR Fund. Our work is supported by partners like MSF ComLink+ and Club Rainbow. Term 2 starts mid-July Taster: 4-weeks, no selection tests, no commitment! (Try out the BbB pedagogy, build bonds with like-minded youth, tackle interesting problems, and build the foundation for the next step.) After the four weeks, we’ll ask you if you want to continue. We select the cohort for the 12-weeks from our taster. Slots are highly limited to keep the student-to-tutor ratio low, so that every student can get the best support. Beginner -> Intermediate: 12-weeks, handpicked group of highly-motivated students who want to learn to code and benefit the community. (Our flagship Python programme designed by our highly experienced tutors and industry experts. Highly beginner-friendly, yet rigorous enough for you to build things for the causes you care about.) DON’T MISS OUT: Students who finish our Python core will be offered placements in our future AI/ML and robotics courses, developed and delivered in conjunction with highly experienced industry experts. What you’ll actually learn: Weeks 1–4 (Taster): Python basics — variables, control flow, loops Weeks 5–16 (Beginner→Intermediate): Lists, dicts, functions, File I/O, recursion, sorting algorithms, OOP, linked lists, binary trees — and a 3-week hackathon with prizes Who’s this for? Anyone aged 13–22. Sec 1, sec 4, JC, Poly, ITE or Homeschool. If you’ve never touched code or you’ve been messing around in Scratch and want something real, this is it. Our past cohorts had >75% first-time coders. You don’t need prior experience! What you need: A laptop (or Chromebook/iPad + keyboard) Curiosity Commitment to show up for the lessons Willingness to uplift your community What you don’t need: Money (it’s free) Good grades Experience with coding Why we exist: We filled the gap between free intro programmes (Code for Fun, Code in the Community — mostly Scratch) and private enrichment that costs hundreds a month. We’re recognised under BAGUS Together (NVPC, Temasek Foundation, Tote Board), supported by the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO, MCCY) and an official programme of the OSCAR fund by the Temasek Foundation. Our tutor team boasts volunteer tutors from NUS, NTU, SP, NYP, HCI and VJC, as well as industry experts. We’re building a community of inspiring students, professionals and changemakers looking to create a space for youths to explore, to learn, to grow, and then to love. For far too long, coding has been locked behind stereotypes (of what it is, and who gets to learn it) and expensive programmes. Bit by Bit aims to shatter those misconceptions and build a community of like-minded youths and mentors who believe that coding is not just a hobby, but a tool for tangible social change. We believe that Bit by Bit is, in some tangible, meaningful way, a revolution in the way that we think about coding, and about who gets to learn it. Come learn a new skill!

"At least four more primary schools have scrapped the parent volunteer scheme in the last two years. Fairfield Methodist School (Primary) and Mee Toh School stopped accepting such parent volunteers in 2026, while Hong Wen School and Rosyth School did so in 2025." https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/parenting-education/four-primary-schools-scrap-parent-volunteer-scheme-for-entry-into-primary-1

@KelvinLoh Thanks for posting here! I can check with my networks regarding this school. In terms of general prep concerns, what would you like to know? I have two kids, but they went to MGS and SJIJ.

Came across this Singapore Education Pathways website recently and I think it is quite useful for parents. Most of the information is already available from MOE, but it is usually scattered across different websites, PDFs and forum discussions. This site puts things together in one place and makes it more relevant to your own child. You can enter your child’s PSLE score or current grades and see which secondary schools, poly courses, JCs or ITE courses may be realistic. I also like the feature that works backwards from a target course and shows the grades your child would need. The subject combination planner may also be helpful for Sec 2 students, since subject choices can affect future options. Of course, I would still verify important information with MOE or the school, as cut-off points can change every year. Some features are also paid. Overall, I see it as a useful planning tool for parents and children to discuss their options, rather than something that should make the final decision for them.

Q: My child writes an essay every week, but the English marks are still around the same range. Why? Writing more essays doesn’t necessarily mean the student is improving. One common problem is that students make the same mistakes repeatedly. They finish an essay, get a mark, read the teacher’s comments, and move on to the next essay. But if they don’t understand why they lost the marks or how to change their approach, the same problems can appear again. A more useful cycle is: Write → Identify the weakness → Understand why → Rewrite → Apply it to the next essay For O-Level students, this is especially important because writing isn’t just about having good ideas. Structure, development, language and answering the question all matter. What do you think is the hardest part for your child, coming up with ideas or actually developing them?

With A-Levels approaching, one question we often hear from parents is: “My child is already in JC2 and still struggling with GP. Is it too late to improve?” The good news? Not necessarily. But at this stage, simply writing more essays may not be enough. If your child is still: Struggling to develop arguments Unsure how to use examples effectively Repeating the same essay mistakes Having difficulty answering the question directly Struggling with Paper 2 despite having decent English It may be worth identifying what exactly is holding them back before A Levels At Excellence Tuition Academy (ETA), we work with JC students on these areas through structured GP writing practice, detailed feedback and our XL05 strategy, helping students understand not just what to write, but how to think through a question. For JC2 students, the goal isn’t to suddenly learn everything from scratch — it’s about identifying the gaps and making every remaining month count. Parents of JC2 students: What is your child’s biggest struggle with GP right now? Would love to hear your experiences below!

Hi parents, I am new to Choa Chu Kang area and i recently got a flyer about a new student care opening at choa chu kang centre. I checked out their website: www.kindlecove.com and it seems like a cosy centre with small class size (which is important to me). Any parent is keen to go see their open house as the centre manager told me that they have group sign up discounts.

@thebottomsupblog thank you! Haven’t been to Pip’s Playbox before - indoor and air-conditioned definitely beats hunting for shade on afternoons like these. Will bring the kids down to try it, appreciate the tip!
