25HMOM:
Excuses for oversight and u buy it so readily?Dreamgear:
[quote=\"25HMOM\"]Thank you, jetsetter, for the various attachments.
Perhaps the light refreshments for the Q&A session should include strawberries, apples, oranges, water melons, durians, papaya, pineapples & kokonuts too.
I particularly like this assurance that \"MOE works with all schools to ensure the best possible educational experience for all our students. Every student's educational experience is equally important to us and we have a duty to try to look after all students' interests as much as possible in a reasonably balanced manner\".
MOE, I salute you!
Don't some parents always think their children deserve more attention from the govt than 'other peoples' children'?
Throw away your dream gear and replace it with a realistic gear, perhaps?[/quote]Lol pity u have to resort to this level.... -
OK fine...After much ranting and petitioning, even if parents managed to pressurise the authorities to issue a public apology or to acknowledge their alleged miscalculations, poor planning, lack of transparency and accountability, what next do you want?
Will an apology make parents and students happier?
MOE still cannot abracadabra another campus in Bishan-AMK for you by 2018, right? An admission of mistake cannot speed things up also. NSE semi-tunnel must still \"eat\" into your campus. Thomson-EC line must still be dug. Drawings must still be corrected by SJI and IPJC architects.
At the end of the day, cannot means cannot, even highest authority - Min for Education 都放话出来了: \"I'm not saying that it is ideal when you have a delay, but the truth of the matter is there will be, in life, unforeseen circumstances...\"
So very likely, it'll still go back to square one, which is Mt Sinai!

My dd is in Sec 1 SCGS IP.
I have no issues with the location of the Mt Sinai campus. It takes approximately 10 min to walk there from the MRT. I went to try out the route.
However, the campus is old and I have heard from students currently studying in the school that the LTs smell of mildew and that pupils and teachers who have used the music rooms came down sick after using these rooms. Former Henry Park students said that toilets were not suitable for kids.
A lot of renovation work will have to be put in to upgrade the science labs, music rooms even the teaching classrooms.
Having said that, I remember using container classrooms in my day. We all made do with what we had and tried to be resourceful with what we lacked. Its the "heart-ware" that counts. -

No worries, extensive rejuvenation is promised. -
At what cost ?
Future schools under Prime can use the campus but they don’t need the
Extensively refurbished lecture theaters and many other facilities meant for jc. -
cherryc:
then do you want the school to be parked there permanently to make the costs justifiable? :siam:At what cost ?

Erm, actually whenever a new school moves into a holding site, it's renovated. Not just this site in Mt Sinai, it also applies for the ITE holding sites. So even if it should go to bishan ITE, the ITE will also need to undergo extensive renovations.At what cost ?

It may be time for facelift for some older JCs such as Serangoon JC, Temasek JC, ...and the list goes on.At what cost ?

Not just for JC, Secondary schools may also need facelift.

As for lecture theatre 1 and 2, even primary schools also made use of LT, not only JC.
Example (s)
- When Principal want to discuss with parents primary school curriculum, Rgps currently invite parents (P1 to P6), to goto LT1 and LT2 to discuss in the comfort of the Aircon, not inside the hall (no air con)
- when P / VP / HOD want to hold discussion with subject Tr across P1 to P6 level, or to make presentation to other fellow teaching colleagues, they goto LT to discuss, not discuss inside the standard classroom.
- or sometimes, when Master Subject Head curriculum sent down from MOE to train some Maths Tr in school, they also make use of Lecture Theatre facility.
- when HOD / subject Tr want to inform a few classes of the same level cohort, about certain subject requirements made to Chinese Oral, for Rgps primary 2 studemts : students from P2A to P2D, these 4 classes of P2 students will go to Lecture Theatre 1 to listen concurrently to what Chinese Oral Tr had to say, while another five P2 classes : eg P2E to P2I, go to Lecture Theatre 2 (another LT) to listen concurrently.
Thus, it is a myth to conclude that :
Lecture theatres are only used by Junior College \"A\" level students, only.
As & when an occasion arise and there is a need to use it, primary school students, Teachers can also made use of lecture theatre, too.
==============================
Btw, this year (2015) at Mount Sinai :
There are P5, P6 students staying in Sengkang, Punggol, Sembawang, Khatib, Yishun, & also from the east like Pasir Ris, Tampines, East Coast, Bedok, Katong, studying in Rgps.
These Young pupils (12 years old) also bite the bullet, travel down so far down daily to Mount Sinai, to prepare for their major exam, Psle, coming soon. They just pesevered, they just endure.
A few years back when Moe announced the shift to temp site Mount Sinai, these affected children & their parents after hearing the announcement, they jusr accept it, bite the bullet, travel daily to & Fro to school. -
I’m impressed with the swift response immediately after my question of what is the exact amount of cost. Seems to me like some official response . Anyway , I’m just asking what is the cost needed for extensive rejunation.
