Raffles Girls' Primary

P2 don’t have re-medial.


as for Learning Support (LSP) for P2 :
for our school, usually very few kids identified, to attend LSP.
some batch(es) : zero pupil identified

if no LSP, means can go home immediately after school dismissed daily (Mon - Fri) at 1.30 pm, unless happen to be a Cca day, then maybe go library read storybooks or do own homework quietly at library from (2 to 3 pm), before Cca start at (3 pm, end at 5 pm).

But, if everyone has this same idea of making use of the library to spend time do homework, then one can expect library to be very packed.
But then, apart from going to the library, where else can the kids go to during that one hour, while awaiting for 3 pm Cca to start ?

did you all think of other possible places, besides the library (going to be very crowded) ?

Hi fellow parents,


Instead of let 2016 CCA start at 3 pm, perhaps we can petition to school, request to start CCA at 2 pm ?

Since kids have no where to go (library so cramp : accommodate 6 level from P1 to P6) and some kids are playful, don’t do homework in school, might as well let them start CCA earlier, at 2 pm instead of 3 pm, then can go back earlier 1 hour, so as not to waste precious time.

I guess they are thinking the girls may not have enough time to eat and digest their food if they were to start their ccas at 2pm. Sch dismissal 130pm, only have 1/2 hour to eat if cca starts at 2pm, and no time to digest their food which can be bad for girls taking part in sports ccas.

Can the kids stay in their classrooms and do homework after class? Is it allowed?

[phtthp]

Not allowed.


P said no student allowed to enter classroom, after 1.30 pm school dismissal, without Teacher's supervision.
She said students can either go library, or go canteen, while awaiting CCA to start 3 pm.

So for students, from 2 pm to 3 pm, who are
- Not selected to attend any enrichment, nor any \"stretch\" class,

- Not selected to attend any remedial class,

- Not selected to attend any extra lesson,

can either go air-con library, or stay in canteen, do your own homework.

Library is the only place with air con to go

(canteen is noisy, students eating, chit chat & warm)

Thanks for the info, phtthp. My kid will start P1 next year. I’m not familiar with primary school’s rules yet. I can just hope the new campus has a huge library…

Tan Kah Kee MRT Station on DTL2 opening in December this year!


Hallelujah!

[phtthp]

at long last, here come Tan Kah Kee MRT station, downtown line (blue color)

Have been awaiting this MRT station to open, for long time.

Next year :
6 level coming to school, concurrently, early morning.

Bukit Timah road : a lot of primary schools, NJC around.
Bound to have traffic jam, esp after 7 am.
That's why school bus always drop off students very early in school, before 7 am, in order to avoid traffic jam.
School bus driver, smart !
After 7 am, jialut, esp from Adam road turning into Dunearn road

Thank God, now we got the MRT, to rescue us.
Hip hip hurray !


Hi Reddiechan,

Your daughter, P6 next year ?
Wow, Time fly ! Seems like only yesterday, she transferred into P4 for GEP.

heard that 2016 P6 students next year, have been told that they have extra lessons everyday, from 2 pm onwards.

Hi zephyrfei,


Since Hillcrest premises have been renovated, I guess the library must be huge, can accomodate 6 level (P1 to P6) of students.

I would like to visit the air-con library, too

Besides library, would also like to visit the grand, new Performance Arts theatre, parents seated in cosy, comfortable arm-chair, where they going to host the drama, dancing, band performance, string ensemble performance, etc

[reddiechan]

Yes, phtthp, how time just flew by. Just a newbie then and now going to be old bird liao.
