Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

[janet88]

My kids are in a Christian kindergarten although we are not Christians. In fact my son refused into the temple when he was in K1. As for my daughter, she is asking many questions about religion now.


I’ve got no problems about my kids in Christian school and will leave the decision to them. I was in a Catholic school (convent school), and so hubby and I are thinking of putting younger one in my former school.

Hi markfch, when your son is in P3, you can encourage him to join the Boys Brigade CCA too. It serves to:


- To help him develop and grow in Christian character
- To train him to become loyal and responsible citizens
- To promote physical fitness and develop leadership potential

Or there is a Christian Fellowship, which is a CCA too. I am not sure if this CCA takes in from P1, some do. HTH!

My dd settled in to PH very quickly bcos it was very similiar to her church Kindy. Her favourite part is singing familiar worship songs which she sings in Sunday school too. Pei Hwa, being a mission school was also why we had decided to volunteer and thus by God’s grace, she entered the school after balloting.

E3,

You had to ballot under Phase 2B ? I’m glad your daughter got into Pei Hwa. My son liked his pastor very much when he was in P1 - Mike Manning. In fact, I have a good feel each time I walk into the school to buy books or for Parent-teacher meetings.

IJJ,
My neighbour’s son takes Christian Fellowship which is every Fri. This year (P5) he is the buddy for two P1 kids for 1 week.

Janet, we are residing out of 2km so need to ballot. It was a very thrilling experience.

Anyone knows what are the activities conducted for the Girls Brigade? I am considering letting my dd take part next year.

E3,

Balloting is very thrilling, but if you have done PV, the school will try very hard to let the child in. That was what the prev principal told us...bcos the school recognizes the effort and time put in by the parents and that being a Christian school, they want to do their part too

Hubby has a few colleagues who went on to have 3rd child since their oldest is in Pei Hwa.

i think the objective is quite similar to the Boys Brigade. you can check it out at http://www.gb.org.sg/ for more information. They both focus on the 4 components: physical, spiritual, social and enrichment.
