dagong99, can my kids \"board\" at your house for some days?
After staying in hostel, DD realises how \" totally spoilt\" she is.

Mine preferred to stay at the resort despite the term is effectively over!!

Haha, mine too. Only informed me on Sunday that they have no school most of the week. But still wants to go for other stuff :skeptical:

Twins ? :faint:

Life skill enrichment ? Not neccessary only to boarding, I have many \"life skill enrichment practicals\" at home too. Mine include dish to laundry washing, laundry hanging and folding, vacuum cleaning & floor mopping, toilet cleaning, bedsheet changing, cooking, car washing, etc ... Full training provided and it's all free of charge. :evil: My boys are already \"fully-equipped\", now they will ask \"What's my housework duty today ?\" :rotflmao:

My house only has 3 bedrooms, the boys take up 1 each.

Mine, too, realised how \"spoilt\" they were after our domestic helper left. Now they know what is \"hard work\", they say \"study better\"

But I agree it takes time and patience for us to \"guide\" them. When they first started, :slapshead: Now at least it is \"decently\" done although sometimes, they will 偷懒 too.

Maybe more \"peace and quiet\" plus more freedom than with Daddy around? :siam:

Actually, it's Daddy who enjoy some 'peace and quiet' when he's not around!!

For next year; is the decision already made concerning yr5 boarding ?

Last heard from DS is that no decision yet. But my DS very "boh-chap" on this topic so maybe his "news" not that updated.

Boarding has brought about some positive changes....just like NS...so I hope they continue with the prog.

Is there no more government subsidies for year 5 boarding? Without subsidy, and with no EESIS or ESIP scholarship, it costs $320+$700 per mth for year 5. That is a huge sum. Is there still compulsory boarding for year 5, or is it optional?

Next year Year 5 is still compulsory. But was told will utilise some of school funds/donations. Probably after that not compulsory anymore. Even with EESIS, it's still a big sum if you have 2 kids going boarding. It's like having another car

Thanks. But we haven't heard anything fr the school yet. About the part on utilizing school funds/donations, I am not sure if it can cover the subsidies, which is about $350 per year 5 student, per month. Anyway, where did you get the info about next year boarding still being compulsory as well as there will be funds/donations? Thanks again.
