[quote=\"joyful22\"]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:[/quote]Yes,I totally agreed. :evil:

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.

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:

Does anyone know how the online registration will be updated since it is open from 9am today till 4.30pm on 31 July.

Will the updated numbers on the MOE website tomorrow include those online registration?

Hi All, This website only shows PLSE results from 2009 or earlier. I am staying within 1 km of both Chongzheng and Yumin Primary school. Any recommendation which school has been performing well academically? Although I know that Chongzheng is popular but have also heard that Yumin is picking up well. Please advise.

The child academic standard the most is only K1 but with the right intervention in place, the child should pick up speed. Many times, I wonder if parents spend the time to coach the child in the work instead of volunteering for the school, it will benefit the child more. This registration period is a stressful period for parents and I think most parents would have completed their preparatory work for P1. Being able to read without prompts would be the most critical skill for a child to have in order to cope effortlessly in Primary 1. Not to forget a dose of confidence to make new friends and to socialise .

There is Learning Support team (for English, Maths), inside Rosyth school.
They'll monitor the child's progress, and feedback to parents regularly. Maybe the parents are thinking, \"let my child try out first at Rosyth. Take one step at a time, then see how next ...\"

Yes, even GEP schools have some students who may face some learning difficulty.

example:
RGPS also have some pupils, who may have some learning issue.
but the school does not discriminate them, because no child request God to be born like that. The school just try their best to help these pupils, feedback to parents their progress.

Some other non-GEP schools like Yu Neng take in pupils weak in Maths.
Yes, some still don't know how to count correctly. Yu Neng identify these students, form some group, use sing-song method (still like K2 kindergarten style) to capture their attention, help them develop an interest, not a fear nor phobia in Maths. The teachers can't use the boring \"worksheets after worksheets\" style method to teach them, will turn them off.

At the end of P1, the teachers are able to turn the situation around. Bring them over the other side. At end of P1 Term 4, these weak pupils are no longer weak. They have become strong in Maths, and look forward to tackling P2 Maths, with confidence. Different schools use different approach, to help weak students turn the situation around.

Pasir Ris primary also.
Some kids never attend Maths enrichment. Maybe kiasu parents will send their kids to Kumon, CMA abacus, Mpm, etc. for enrichment. But some pupils from unprivileged family background, are not exposed to this. Some kids don't know how to add \"9 + 7\", because exceed 10 fingers. Some \"clever\" kids even took out their socks in class, and try to use their toes to continue adding to their fingers. So what do the P1 Maths teachers do ? The learning support team identify them, pull them out, form small groups and \"coach\" them using a combination of Montessori material PLUS their own in-house school's devised training method, to bring the kids up the learning curve quickly.
