Hi all! Registering my boy this yr too! In a dilemma coz I'm staying at tampines now and next to st hilda's pri (my alma mater) . However next year end we are shifting to punggol, and there is Waterway primary right beside our new place (-_-'') ... Any advice if i should place him in st hilda's or waterway pri? If don't put him in st hilda's pri like very wasted haha


My boy has Selective Mutism , an anxiety issue and won't speak to ppl in school... so afraid changing of school is too stressful for him...hai... headache....

Hi! my child is at St Hilda's too. I have friends children in Punggol studying in SHPS. They use the school bus. I'm staying in sk area. Daddy drives him to school in the morning and he buses back after school. Not sure if traveling is a concern for you.
I worked in schools previously and seen kids with selective mutism. There are kids who transited well from preschool to primary school as the child was well prepared for the transition. Please do check with the relevant schools if they have allied educators (counseling or learning & behavioral support) to help bridge your child before school starts. Sincerely hope a smooth transition for your child.

Yea im glad to hear that Merkon! Coz really worried and nervous for him as even though through regular therapy with psychiatrist, he only speaks to two teachers and selected friends in his preschool now. Afraid he will get bullied and not speak up. Yea will ask to speak to counsellor during registration and see if they are supportive.

U were saying you worked with kids with SM before? Any idea if they have special arrangement in class? as in like maybe seating position etc? Coz i understand shps has like frequent public speaking and show-n-tell sessions which i know my boy will not be able to speak.

My husband will drive him to school every morning n he will take the school bus home daily. Any idea if kids have cca after school, will there be transport home ? Coz next yr it will mean i have to travel from punggol to tampines to pick him . I told my hub why not just put him in Waterway pri beside our new place and since new school maybe not so stressful. He said siao got good school dun wanna put :frustrated:

Anyway all along i've been living beside shps . Just when my kid can go p1, i move to punggol.

:thankyou:

Ginny, SHPS has 2 school counsellors if I’m not wrong. Pls do approach them as its better for them to have time to build rapport with your child first. Yes I worked with kids with SM before and it’s great to know that yours received early intervention and is talking to some already. Actually lower primary kids are generally very kind and keen to help So bullying should not be too worrying in class. The school bus is another story as they mix with other levels. Told my son to read a book and look absorbed and try not to pay attention to the older boys conversations. (The older boys made fun of his name and stuff like that)

I’m not too sure of SHPS special arrangement but I believe most schools will take the psychologist n psychiatrist recommendation if suggested. With regards to speaking in front of class, I think all schools these days have different programs and show n tell if definitely a component in holistic assessment but the teacher will take a term at least to help the kid build up their show n tell and most definitely not in the first term.

CCA optional in p1 and p2, other levels strongly encouraged. School bus available for CCAs ending at 4pm, so you can opt for those if transport needed. I’ve got another kid going p1 next year, can PM me if you wanna ask more.
