[quote]Besides the two dates stated in the letter for form filling and buying of books and uniform, not too sure what to expect for orientation. Heard in some school children are asked to do some form of diagnostic tests during orientation. Wonders if there is such in HPPS?


Perhaps the daddies or mummies of current students can share with us their experience. :smile

Diagnostic test?? Wah so stressful!! I hope they don't do such things right at the start, what is the point?[/quote]Yeah, that's what i heard. So really hoping that there's no such practice in HPPS.

Just wondering how many sets of uniform to buy? PE attire?

Yea, because the other day is a weekday and have to take leave if parents are working.
Hopefully won't be too crowded!

About the uniform, I think it is up to you ba, if you have a helper to wash regularly then maybe 2-3 sets are enough? I know of colleagues who get 4-5 set so that can wait until weekend to wash? Hahaha but I think 2-3 is better because they may grow out of it very quickly at this age...[/quote]
Thanks..
Think 3 sets seem fine. Agree that they grow so fast..

I received a letter from the school asking us to go buy books, uniform and fill up some student data form. There are 2 dates, I think we will be on 24th Oct Sat. I think there is also a website that you can go and order books. Not too sure, have to read the letter again. Haha so many things to prepare, exciting![/quote]

Hello mummies, I am thinking of starting playgroup for my toddler and would be grateful for any comments on:

1) MMI Westcoast
2) GEMs Montessori
3) Brighton Montessori
4) Early Years Montessori
5) MMI Pandan Valley

Hi,

I visited MMI PV. It's more of an enrichment centre. Teachers there seem to be just going through the routine and showed no real enthusiasm. Person in-charge didn't seem to genuinely like children too. My biggest negative was when the person in-charge (who was showing us around) started labeling the children in the centre, \"She is very slow\",\"He is very lazy\" etc. Didn't think these were necessary and couldn't imagine what she would say about my child behind our backs.

Thanks! Will look out for it.
