yippee:

Hi catddy2002, what you do for PV? I just got the PV form. I have filled up the PV form but havent submit as I still thinking.

As my hubby start work at 9am, so he take care of the school gate 3 twice a week in the morning from 6.30 am to 7.20 am, while I will help in ad-hoc events such as mooncake festive, orientation, first 3 days of school etc.

Hii Yippee…my boy in 1J, he can do the homework himself but I rather check it or sit with him to make sure he knows his work.


So far he hasnt complained …he comes home straight after school.

Was just checking the site for the West Grove they dont too much info... what are their school timings? Which are the good CCA etc?

Morning class 7.15 am to 1.25 for Mon, Tue, Thu & Fri, 7.15 am to 12.25 pm for Wed.
Afternoon class I'm not so sure, think it's 12.15 pm to 6.25 pm, Wed 1.15 pm to 6.25 pm.
First 15 min silent reading.

West Grove good in badminton and not easy to get in, too many students wanted to join. My son interested in badminton since P1 but they cannot take in anymore student so not able to get in, even he tried in P2. However, he get to join in P2 b'cause I sign up the coach private class on Sunday. He think he has potential so put my son into school team. The school hired a private coach to teach in their school. Though this coach has left now, my son is still in the school team.

Another strong CCA I think they call 华 乐, playing chinese music instrument. Can't remember what's the name of the instrument. The school send this team for competition.

My two daughers are P1 this year, one has more homework than the other, not sure about the reason, I guess that maybe they are set into different class.

Can anyone help to feedback which school is better? WG or SQ?

Hi catddy2002,


My DS1 is Yr 2004 born so next year he will go to P!, I havent done the PV for West Grove but I stay within 1 km do you think I should be able to get in? Also my DS1 also like average student so I am worreid about the stress if he can take over there or no.. also heard they stream the students very early!! your feedback will be highly beneficial

Well, really depends on your luck. Last year, my son can't get in although we are staying within 1km. However, chances might increase compare to last yr as MOE gives priority to Singapore Citizen from this year onwards.
Do let us know if your son gets in due to this system.

Think this should be common. My son is in JYPS and he has less homework compare to another P1 gal staying in my block. This should be due to different teachers have different styles. However, for tests and Exams should be standard as they are set by the school.
