Last year, student care centre results were announced on 21 Oct.

How do parents know of the results? By phone/email/snail mail?

Any parents here have kids already in SKGPS, but couldn't get into the student care? Can I know how do you manage / what other alternative student care you enrolled your child in? I am totally clueless as to what other centres are located around this area (I live along Fernvale Link). Grandparents/in-laws support is definitely out of the question as they are working, so am I and my hubby. I will be desperate if my son can't get into the school's student care.

I recalled it was email notification last year.
There is a student care in anchorvale area . suggest you make backup plans so that you wouldnt be caught in that situation.
It will never change the fact with the booming fernvale estate that student care demand will outstrip supply by many times .

Best of lucK.

Fernvale has a lot of foreigner students... Due to its huge vacancy. Kids with no sch will enrol there...


Really can't wait for the orientation.

Parents who have kids in SKGPS, may I know how is a typical P1 student’s school bag load is like? For SKGPS, do they have to bring tons of books to school?

Just curious - what type of school bags did u get for ur child? Can normal backpack (which can fit A4 size) make do?

School eases the bagload by keeping the workbooks and exercise books unless th students have homework or need the parent's signature. Only 1 exercise book for chinese spelling, 1 exercise book for English spelling, think 2 jotter book for English. Then you have textbooks, stationery including colour pencils, A4 sized plastic board for Math and whiteboard duster. Waterbottle. Storybook.

I am using Deuter Junior that weighs less than 500g when empty. Never weighed it when filled up though. Enough to hold everything. My ds not very big sized so important to me that the bag doesn't overwhelm him.

Hope this is useful.

A question to parents of existing students : what shoes do your children use? I am using Adidas and each pair last me only 1 term as the soles come part though I only wipe the surface. Very costly.

i got my son a Impact bag.. also quite light.
as for the shoes.. he outgrown his pair of Nike by the first qtr . since then i have him on bata shoes. on my 2nd pair of Bata now ..
see how fast they grow up.
and now , we are approaching the last mile of their P1.

I ended up with Bata too. Maybe it can outdo Adidas. I remember my shoes lasted me the whole year previously, unless I outgrew them.

haha, yah, those were the days whereby shoes are more lasting.
Grip is very important for shoes especially on a rainy day like today.

Anyone seen the class photo order slip.. so commercialise now..
with different poses and photo size.. haha. cost me $30 for just the photos

[eu-ern]

Yup, I agree with Cheepoozz. But I only getting 5R for class photo & cohort one no choice. Not getting all so just paying $18. Considering all of 6 years with so many photos that kiddo may not even keep next time. Already have 6 years from childcare/preschool.

Hi all, my girl will be entering skgreen next year P1. Just to check if the school offers higher Chinese or just normal Chinese?


Thank you.

Normal chinese. Think only p5 then got higher chinese. But if child is strong in chinese, teacher will get them to do some 好朋友 section for higher chinese.

Just my observation. You can find out more by asking the school at orientation.
