      Northernlights,

      Son went to zoo in P1…that’s about all I can remember. For P2, he had 2 excursions.

      Mummies,
      Let us know how your P1 application turn out. I hope you successfully manage to register your children in Pei Hwa.

        Hi, I wrote in to Pei Hwa last year applying to be a PV for 2012 P1 registration (2005 kid). I received an acknowledgement from them that they received my application but to date, I have yet to receive any confirmation from them about whether I am successful or not. I called them earlier this year and the person who answered told me that they will let us know only Aug/Nov of this year. They also don’t seem to have a closing date for PV applications.


        Just wondering, for parents who got in to Pei Hwa via the PV route, when do they normally let you know if you are selected for PV?

        On a bit of a tenterhooks as I need to know what to do next if not selected for their PV.

          Hi Funz, I'll pm you on the details of the dates and process. However, I have a hunch that they will attend to the PVs for 2010 and PVs-to-be for 2011 registrations first and put yours on hold for the time-being.

            From my own experience, my DS is due to register for P1 this July. I got the acceptance letter only in Sept 2009. I applied in Sept 2008 so that was a long wait for me.

              Jennifer:


              Does this apply to PH?

              I guess what donkey meant to say was Singapore is based on meritocracy. Every government sector is the same. In schools, teachers set their targets based on their own classes' abilities. These targets will be reviewed periodically with their supervisors. Teachers not only set academic targets for their classes, but on other aspects of their jobscopes too. At the end of the year, targets will be reviewed and teachers will be rewarded based on their performance. Yes, PH's teachers are doing that too. I was only giving a brief process but most teachers do more than just teach. However, not every effort can be assessed so in the past few years, schools were looking for more tangible proofs from teachers' work. Thus, instead of reducing admin for teachers, more unnecessary work were given. :roll: Good teachers are rare nowadays so really need to consider carefully when choosing a primary school.

              E3,

              Sorry, never read the forum for days..busy with office work. You are absolutely right. We choose maid depend on luck, our children's teachers will also depend on their luck. If they have teachers who teach on passion then that will be their best of luck. hehe..

                We got the letter to apply under Phase 2B close to registration...waiting for that letter seems like eternity. After receiving it through post, it was another panic period to wait to apply.


                Donkey,
                Choosing a maid is based on luck...as for teachers, it would be a great boost if the teachers motivate the kids...even if they don't, they still do a reasonable job teaching, but we parents are the backup.

                E3,
                Parents who are applying for kids to enter Pei Hwa are stressed...those with kids in the school more stressed. 😢 Sorry if I've made these parents worry. SA1 very close.

                    Recently, I had a chat with a parent whose dd is in charity 5. According to her, the school conducts extra Eng and Math gifted programmes for selected ones who almost made it to gifted during the P3 gifted assessment. The kids had to attend classes after curriculum time on top of CCAs and supp classes. These kids stayed back almost daily! Poor kids.

                      Poor kids...as if it's not stressed enough, still have to stay back after school. My friend's son was in Charity 4 last year and he was so stressed by the environment he had migraine frequently and was too happy to be in Grace 5.

                        What I don’t understand is whether is there really a need to push these kids? If they did not make the cut, then the normal curriculum may suit them better. In fact, they may still excel if the lessons are effectively taught. Now that they have to attend so many extra classes, wouldn’t it backfire? I knew of someone who made it to borderline gifted, transferred to a gifted school but had difficulty coping, dropped out in the end. But, the child (now teenage) had already gone thru serious traumatic stress and needed to see a psychiatrist. Not worth it.
