uicbg,


P1 kids are not required to stay back after school at all. There are some CCAs which will recruit students at P1 (for the following year). They are band, chinese dance and choir. If your child is interested, he/she can sign up for it.

There was a fund raising (fun fair) for the school 2 years ago, which to me is fine - mission schools always have to raise their own funds coz they do not get full funding from govt and do not accept $$ from SingPools.

I like the new principal. It is a good school and my DS is fortunate to get a really good FT!

Thanks for the information. I totally agree I have no complain as well so far

Personally for me, I feel it is a good thing the kids not req'd CCA at P1-P2 as the kids are still young and they are adpating to the new environment and new life in a primary school education system
Why I asked because some other schools started to have CCA for P1 students.

May I check with parents any idea what is the program about for P1 kids whereby they are req'd to stay late on every Thursday till 3pm starting from 2nd semester (July) onwards?

Any idea why the Assembly is listed as one of the week program in their timetable? Isn't Assembly an every day routine?

Also, may I check how much Edu Save is a child allocated? How does the system work (when & how to use the fund) and how the system would refund the money back to parent? If we do not utilise it in the 1st year (primary one), would it spill over and accumulate in the 2nd year?


Thank You!

uicbg, where did you get the Thursday staying back thing from? i do not register this at all.

I wondered about the Assembly thingy as well, i guess you would be able to clear your doubt on the meet the parent session on Jan 23.

The meet the parent session is split into 2 Saturdays. This is listed in the principal’s letter and calendar as distributed in the newslink to the students during the first few days of school. You can also download the newlink from the school website


The P1, P2 and P4 session is on 23/1/10, P1 session is between 10.30am to 12pm.

found out from my DD that the they did worship and devotion during the Tues ASSEMBLY - the kids were sshared passages from the bible. VP led in the singing.


i believe this is the 'chapel" session in mission schools.

The methodists church schools have a network of chapel workers who prepare for such sessions.

Hi,


The information was attached in the Primary One Orientation letter whereby they mentioned : In promoting Programemes for Active Learning (PAL) for Primary 1 and Primary 2 pupils, all P1 pupils will have a long day on Thursday (from 0730 to 1550) in Term 3 and Term 4 (Week 1 to 4).
Any idea what is PAL?

Thanks to parents highlighting the Meet the Parents Session on 23rd Jan for the Primary One as I have overlooked it.
