All new Y16 mummies,

I have just went to buy my boy’s uniform and was told that they are changing their PE attire. Not sure when can buy the new ones. But I bought 2 sets of uniform, not sure if necessary…
Anyone going to used the school’s student care. I checked with them but could not get a firm reply. They cannot even allow kids to go in during Dec.

But do remember to drop by and chat with us when u can okay :boogie:

Hi berrymom, definitely i will....

Hi php, thanks for your message. I would also very much like to thank you, dyh as well as former PH parents like Jennifer and Janet etc. for all the sharings in this thread. I've learnt much about the happenings/updates in the school from all of you.

:thankyou:

Dear mummies,


I don’t see swimming as one of the CCA at PHPPS - so it is not a compulsory for the P3 kids to learn swimming, right?
I just heard from my gal’s coach that some schools require kids to learn swimming in P3 and those who can swim, will have to produce a cert by their coach to show that they are able to swim.

Can anyone advice?

If u kid does not know, they will put her/him in a group to learn from beginning.

I remembered my dd went for the swim safe prog in p3 (I think so) as she was given a cert after the end of the prog.

oh so they do arrange for swimming group for all P3s? and is it a year long program or when the kids are able to swim, then that’s it?


do we have to pay extra for this and usually is it a once a week cca?
i’m more concern on the transport arrangement for this if they have it on weekdays.

The program lasts a few months. Yes it is for all P3s unless the parents opt out for valid reasons.
No need to pay anything.
I can't remember what time during the day it is held though...too long ago.

Hi mommy2two, during my ds' time in 2013, they conducted swimming classes only after SA2 for a few sessions. Pupils were split into different groups depending on how well they could swim, based on level of swimsafer certification. Not sure if they have changed this now.
