I also got 2 drivers hp no and even the big boss ,Francis hp no(hopefully still the same). Maggie has asked me to complain to the Sch Admin Manager about the transportation ...but c no point since has already taken her out of YMCA.

Heard all P2 have compulsory swimming lesson in the afternoon and also Chinese Speech and Drama.
Sport Day for P1 is grouped according to their houses. Mine is Cooke Hse(blue). How about yours?

Sorry just saw this post. Have missed this post earlier.

Just attended the PTC yesterday. Yes, swimming compulsory. Mine dd is in Gage Brown.

Have called Francis cos i can't just wait....The transport company just fax back to me yesterday but still finalizing the total cost....no news on transport still for CCA...

We attended the PTC yesterday too.
A few of us parents spoke to the FT about the swimming as to whether can be exempted as our girls have already attended swimming lessons outside. Were told to get a letter from the coach and email her. Actually I have already arranged the CCA transport for her swimming on every Friday , to pick her up at 4.30pm. Additional of $40 per month for the CCA bus. Now , will cancel.it. You may look for Mdm Nur, 62886032, On the phone , she will register your girl’s name in her system and let you the bus no.and driver name.

Yes, at the PTC the FT told us that from next week onwards, she will send out email updates on weekly basis !!! :celebrate:

Feedback is working ! This weekly updates thingy is very helpful and useful for working parents to help their kids to comply with the sch requirement.....

Just called her, finally answering my call...thanks for the note! Have been calling since 21 Dec....

Thanks Doraemo, you’re right…better learn early…will check it out.


Btw, how do you find the coach there? How long has your gal learn swimming from them? Did your gal has the fear of learning to swim without the float? Appreciate some feedback.

Hi plum-cake/trimum/jacs-place


During the PTC, I remembered seeing tap dancing being offered as an enrichment for P1.

Has anyone received the form yet? My kiddo seems quite keen to join.

Cheers

Hi plum-cake,


sorry to have missed you at PTC,it was getting late...hope to meet up with you the next time round...

Hi Tri-mum,
My dd & ds has been attending swim lessons(& both can do the frog style without board alredi. ds (who just turned 4 in dec last year) started oni about 6 months ago & can do frog style alredi...he loves to do the cannonball at the deep pool. I've kept an eye earlier on but realised that i was wasting my time as both kiddos are in good hands - the coach brings the kids who are 'ready' to the deep pool for their lessons without the swim board...the board is oni used as an indicator to the distance the kids need to cover in the pool...
. The coach contact details are as follows if u want to contact him:

Singapore Elite Athlete's Learning School

Dr Kenneth Soh
Principal Trainer / Coach
Mobile +65 8377 2887 / +65 9772 2563

Web ~ http://eliteswimcoach.tripod.com/

Uncle Kent (that's how the kids call him) conducts lessons at pools that are at parents' convenience as best as possible. We do ours at bedok swimming pool. We found out much later that he's also the swim coach for Red Swastika.

Thanks Tri-Mum and plum-cake for the feedback. My kid only came back with the tennis and the swim-for-the-school form. Both in very giam chye condition so I thought she might have misplaced the tapdance form


Maybe should train my girl to be more gentle. She just throws everything into her school bag and by the time she gets home, they are all dog-eared/scrunched up like some unwanted paper. Even her handbook has dog ears and this is only week 2. Wondering if it's just my kid or that it's a common problem.

Her FT must be wondering what we did to the paper :!:

btw, How did your PTC go? I finally had the chance to meet her FT. SHe prefers to communicate via handbook to email, so I guess I would have to be rely on snail-mail and help from all the mummies here .
