How much is \"lots of Malay students\" according to your friend and what is wrong with that ?? There is not a lot anyway.

Yah, I saw Tyler again yesterday in school and the first thing he said to me was \"you message my mummy ah?\" So I told him he better behave if not I will tell his mum. Hahaha...then he gave me a \"angry\" face. He is very cute.


I understand he is in Student care now. How is it? How much did you have to pay per month?

In house student care is $290 per month ...

School reopen today !!

Hi tph452s,
I was at the prize giving yesterday and if I'm not wrong i've spotted your girl, a cute girl. Well done. So have you heard the speech and performance of Semb pri from the data? Impressed? hahah... I was Well done!

Hi desse_verte, how is your orientation hope is a good sailing one. Welcome to the Semb Pri family :)[/quote]My daughter from 1G.
2nd in class & best in Maths.
Her classmate is awesome.
The little boy got 1st in Class, Best in Maths, English & Chinese !!
The data presented by the Principal is impressive. I was also surprised that SPS did so well in Sports.

Quite amazed that people will quarrel during orientation …

SPS is a multi-national school - SGP, Malaysia, PRC, Phillipines, Myanmar, etc
The new P1s will have P2 buddy during recess time (probably for a week).
My daughter (2G) has already been briefed & has a checklist of to-do for the P1 buddies …

hi, if you or your wife have been a teacher, then I believe you should be sensible enough on what can and cannot be said in situations. i feel that you are making a very unfair statement to the school. Yes, you could have left the school due to some unhappiness there but you should not tarnish the school's name by posting such in the forum and scare parents who are sending their kids to the school. What makes you think that the teaching are of a lower standard? I do have kids in the school now and i've compared their teaching and materials from other school, and they are not inferior to others. In fact, i find that they had included alot more than other schools. If the school is teaching of a lower standard, how to explain about their standards in PSLE in which they are improving each year? By luck only???? it takes a long way for a school to nurture the kids... all schools are doing their very part in nurturing the kids. it could only be some black sheep in some situation.

So where are you teaching now? I'm concerned about this school's name too. Not sure what you are going to say about it once you had left.[/quote]

I totally agreed with ellehcim. It was quite scary to read a ex teacher posting such comments. Is it appropriate to call parents who think SPS is a good school ignorant or naive?? rather insensitive to me.
I am sure all parents hope their kids do well in school with minimal stress. Even good schools have black sheep. I have heard some negative things abt Canberra too so???

Right now, i just hope my boy will be happy in the new school environment.
Thanks ellehcim, your feedbacks do make me feel better :)[/quote]

Dun worry, Your child will definitely be happy ..
My dd come back home everyday smiling :lol:
Now her smile become bigger after getting good results in P1 exams.
She came in 2nd in class & Best in Maths ... :lol:

Hi all,

I'm very new here. I sending my gal SPS. next year. being a kiasu parent, I also enrol my gal in the BASC in the school.

Will like to get to know more parent in SPS. and to link up with them. Thanks

I'm new too. My boy will be in SPS P1 next year. Have also register him in the BASC in the school.

Does anyone send your kid to BASC early (like Dec) for them to familiarize?
I am not sure whether to do or not; reason is my kid has not been in child care and if I send him early in Dec, most of the children will existing P1 to P6 and not sure whether this will make it worst.
If there are more parent sending in child who will be P1 next yr, then at least they are of the same age and get alone better.
Just my though.

I think if your child has not been in Childcare type of environment, it may be better for the child to go for a week or so to get use to it.
During the school holidays, the BASC will organize extra activities. You may want to check with the BASC in charge for the timing.

The upgrading work will start Jan2012 till June2013.
