Appreciate your advise!


Yes, I ve heard bullies in boys schools are much more rowdier.
BTW, I am rather curious why NAP is not as popular as the other schools in Marine Parade vicinity. They have good academics and I've also heard pleasant reviews too. They are also major in Chinese; like TaoNan, Kongshan etc. Anyone have any idea?

Oh, can we follow our boy into the school on His 1st day? Can we go to his canteen during his lunch time? Do they have a school orientation before the actual school starts?

BTW, can our kids bring food from home instead of buying food from the sch canteen? I'm afraid He may not have enuf time to eat if He Q to buy food. My boy is a slow eater Thanks!

Hi Joyful22, I think you are worrying too much now. Relax, go through the registration first then you start to think of the future. I believed your boy can overcome all your worries. He will learn to be a fast eater if he knows he is slow. Don't worry so much ok. Have faith in him that he can.

Kids really learn fast! Bad things too.... :rotflmao:

not to worry.

when your boy see his P1 classmates eating fast in school at recess, he'll naturally follow suit. Young kids adapt fast, once they watch and observe how their peers eat at the canteen.

Hi Joyful,

i dont know about other parents but we chose to try Tao Nan and other school because I also look at CCA. Ngee Ann doesnt have many CCA that interest my girl..not many team sports and clubs...

So there... our choice was decided base on 1. distance 2.CCA ..
not so much academics as i think TNS and NAP is on par.. coz still depends on the child...

my cousin came from St stephens boys but my auntie says it actually help with his shyness coz he only needs to handle boys , no teasing from girls.. Also as most of my families comes from single sex school, we are generally more open to our own sexuality and we are not that ticklish about BGR hahaha..

maybe u can also see CCAs if its interesting for your boy? Also if you like a more religious environment.

i think bullies or not, that happens everywhere and its better they meet one and we can help explain to them how to handle from young!

Good luck!

There's usually orientation but some schools hold it before start of school term and iirc some schools have it when school term start.

Some schools allow parents to go into school on the 1st day but some don't.

You can find out such details when you have a confirmed place in your school of choice and ask the parents in the school network thread in KSP.

Some schools catered food for the kids during the 1st 2 wks. Such infor will be made known to you during orientation.

After that it's ok if you wish to pack food for you child. Not compulsory to buy food fr the canteen.

Hi Phase 2C parents,


I'm Stacey from The Straits Times. We are interesting in speaking to parents who are getting their kids in during this phase. If you would like to share your concerns, what it was like going down to register, your backup plans etc. Please feel free to reach me at [email protected]. Good luck!

One of my friend’s friend’s son managed to get into Rosyth School because his parents did volunteering work and the son got in at phase 2B. The juicy part of this gossip was the son is a slow learner, has learning difficulties, still learning how to copy letter by letter and stroke by stroke and write in sentences. (both languages) I was flabbergasted! Like that how the son is going to cope in Roysth in future?


My point of view is that Rosyth is expected to have high demand but only a limited number can get balloted in. If parents of the child who is really weak in academic and push the child for tuition, enrichment etc, it’s the parents who will have a harder time to keep up, not the child.

To all Phase 2C applicants -


All the best and I hope that you can get into the school of you choice. Thanks.

i also don't think we should be so quick as to write off the child. Anyways, need not be 'concerned' about how the parents and child are going to cope, they made the informed decision and also earned their spot, so :boogie:
