Rosyth

[scotia]

krex:

Hi,


I'm contemplating putting my child into Rosyth as his dad used to study there. I'm a bit hesitant at the moment as:
1) The sch is a bit far from where I live in Punggol, which means my child needs to wake up really early.
2) I'm not sure if he can cope in a \"top school\".

Would like to know:

1) Is Rosyth a pressure cooker or are the lower primary years relatively carefree and relaxed?
2) How are the academic staff? I don't have a good first impression of the school as everytime I call or email them, I get very curt replies. I seem to get greater customer service when I enquire with Holy Innocent and other neighbourhood schools. Hence, I have the perception that the people in the school view themselves as very \"elite\".
3) Is the school very academically driven or do they develop the child to be an all rounder?
4) For those who stay in Punggol/ Sengkang, how long is the drive to school in the morning, and if you put your kid in school bus, does he/ she have to wake up very early since he/ she is likely to be the first passenger?
5) For those of you who put your children in Pro Teach, any feedback on the after school care?
6) Anybody knows if Rosyth will be single session by 2015?

Tks!

My gal is happy at Rosyth. Not much homework in P1 n P2.

Krex, d admin staff who answer d phone might not be so customer oriented but d teachers r very nice n understanding.

When my gal was not feeling well during last year yearend exam. D teacher told me not to worry just let her rest at hom. You can always send d form teacher email if necessary.

Hi careforchild,

If you mean ranks including the GEP classes…

Integrity (2)

Adventurous (2)
Meticulous (3)

Respectful (3)
Earnest (4)
Aspiring (5)
Diligent (4)
Youthful

Tolerant (5)
Optimistic

Sincere
Enterprising
Resilient (GEP)
Victorious (GEP)
Excellent (GEP)

As for those with no number, I think they are only for the primary ones and twos. When the child moves on to primary three, the number of classes are reduced. I think these are the rankings.

Hi fellow parents,

my hub is old-boy, n we did not join alumni, I suppose we shd be able to join phase 2A2, but how is the chance with the new rule that some % need to be left for non-related ties?

Roysth is about 3km away, but my issue is with the sch bus, will we need to wake up early? my son is gg to be in P1 two yrs later, but want to start researching now.
ANyone stay in Sengkang?
Is rosyth back to its new premises n single session???

kimifin,


I think chances are still quite high. If not, have a back-up school. Rosyth is back to its original premises already. By next year, shld be all AM session although they have yet to confirm. I stay in Punggol and I’m also worried abt sch bus, although most likely, my hb will be fetching my kid to school at least for the first few years. I don’t like the fact that there is no direct bus there, and I suspect if my kid takes school bus, he will have to wake up real early. By car, Rosyth is abt 10 mins drive from Punggol during off-peak. Haven’t tried driving around 7am in the morning yet.

Hi I would like to find out from parents if you know


1. What are some secondary schools that students from roysth usually go to? One teacher from pro teach told me it is rare for any non gep student from roysth to go to nanyang girls, rgs, ri… Is it true? That standard in roysth is so low?

2. What is PSLE score range that non gep students get from roysth? Again the teacher says about 230-240… Is it true? As I thought roysth standard should be quite high?

Thanks
