Most kids need tuition… but the tutor can either be the parents themselves or outsource to external.


Just like all houses need someone to clean. Either you clean yourselves or hire domestic helper or part time cleaner.

So whether u need to employ external help for tutoring depends on your available time, how well you can tutor your kids urself and the $$ u willing to spend if u outsource it.

For me, if the financial situation allows it, I will outsource the formal tuition needs and spend my time to coach my kids on their soft skills and character building.

yupz 19 March… This is wat is stated on the website :



All successful applicants shortlisted for the interview will receive a phone call from the school by 19 March 2018. We regret that the decision is final and no telephone/email enquiries pertaining to your applications will be entertained

Btw, other than filling up the forms, do u guys submit other docs? Saw the parent in front of me submitted a stack of docs

I cant seem to get the ICR syllabus online…


Parents with kids in ICR, appreciate if you can share if ICR is all about phonics or do they combine phonics & sight words?

Do they actually teach the kids to read in real life or do they simply teach phonics?

Checking in! Trying to get DS in Rosyth… anyone knows when the PV registration starts, please share.


looks like this year’s registration for 2017 intake is not so hot for Rosyth. All 2B applicants got in. but I’m not sure about the available places vs takeup rate.

all those who applied for 2B got in even those >2km? no balloting required?

Yeah, I've heard and know of many who buys a house for priority to gain entry to primary school. Everyone have different priorities, to each his own.


I hope PV will be enuff for my case when the time comes, living > 2km away. Slim chance I know.

Righ brain training schools have been around for more than 10 years now…


any parents whose kids attended right brain training for 3 years or more during pre school years - Long after graduating/stopping, when they are in primary or even secondary school, what differences can we expect compared to those who don’t?

Yes, it was quite crowded at the oasis/waterway roadshow when I was there around 9ish.


By the way, why is Horizon so popular? I only know of 1 parent who send their kids there are the school seem to push the kid quite hard acedemically n asking the parents to get tuition for the P1 kid. Is that the reason why its popular? Its actually a turn off for me.

wat the purpose of all these roght brain training? just to do well academically or is there anything more?
