Thank you, elkniwt.

Hi, I hope someone can help me with my queries.


My son is on waiting list to SOTA, so he was also given the DSA preference form today from school.
As his primary school has affiliated secondary school, so if he was not confirm from SOTA upon receiving his PSLE result, he will be eligible for the S1 posting.

My question is will he be penalise that he needs to use non-affiliation cut off point to enter the sec school? Eg. affiliated students will use 200 to enter the sec school, non-affiliated students use 240.

Does that mean the sec school will look at 240 for my son to enter the sec school?

The affiliated secondary school has emphasise to put as 1st choice in their S1 posting form, otherwise, there is no chance at all.

Thanks!

Hi ninijo123 and dasalo,


Thanks for the reply.

Hi,


My son, 11 years old is currently learning Violin from a private teacher (going Grade 5)…I am thinking of getting him in an orchestra group to have some on stage experience. I would think it will be good for him as well for group co-ordination and playing of songs.

Any one has any recommendation?

Thanks in advance

Hi, did you go to the ladies market? I heard nothing much comparing to sham shui po.

Hi,

My son will be in P1 to Fairfield too. Enrolled him using church membership and to let him have longer sleeping hours and the convenience of us travelling nearer to town as our activities are always in the central. We moved from CCK to Dover in July.

Hi Dilshamum,

Í couldn't remember the exact fee as it was abt 3 years ago. I think it was approx $700 plus for 3 days/week for 1 1/2hr sessions for Nursery and $1000 plus for 5 days week. I put my girl there because it was convenient for my mother to fetch her to/fm school. For the price I paid, I don't think they are very academic but also maybe my girl is still too young (2 1/2 yrs old) at that time. However, I can see obvious improvement in her language and social skills after I switched her to CCK Bible Centre Kindergarten (3hrs including one meal). I've not heard of Gracefield but you can bring your girl there and see whether she likes the school environment. You can also check out Hope Community Kindergarten at Sunshine Place (CCK), I've heard good review about this school too.

Hi Tri-mum,
I am looking for a Pre-N for my girl. I realise in Yew Tee area, not much of Pre-N classes. CCK Bible Centre only starts from Nursery, I have been trying to call Gracefields but no one pick up. Hope community is a bit out of the way unless they have school bus transportation.

Hi dilshamum,

My kid is currently in Tulip Montessori, their fee is around $1500 per term (10 week each). They don't have the normal school holiday, so they have classes throughout the year. But their intake is quite small, children of various age group are taught together in 1 class. They do prepare for primary one. I am quite impressed with their Chinese lesson where they taught writing, poetry recitation, etc.

You can give a call to them and arrange to visit, that is what I did last time.

Hi phantom,

Thanks for sharing. I will make a trip down and take a look

Hi luckymum, my girl is studying at Choa Chua Kang Bible Centre Kindergarten. It is opposite Da La Salle primary school. So far, I'm satisfied with the school. When she was studied at Tulip Montessori, she could hardly speak and understand Mandarin so she didn't her lesson there as most of the time, the teachers speak Chinese (wonder where is the English teacher??!!) and after that I put her at CCK Kindergarten at N2, her Mandarin improve alot and after 3 months, she could communicate with my mum in Chinese and with us in English. It is a Christian school so they will teach the children prayer and read them bible stories...

Hi Tri-mum,
how is the overview of Tulip Montessori? are they very academic. And how much is the fees? I am looking for a good childcare or kindergarten for my 2 1/2 yrs old girl
Any one heard of gracefields kindergarten at Teck whye?
