My personal opinion, Teachers are more important than P.
Will the pupils have the locker key to themselves or teacher kept the key n student has no access to it? And what if student wants to access? Or does that means there is no keys to the locker? -

I asked my dd, she say devotion is sang after national anthem. Hence cannot come later. They switch the sequence. Any non-christian encounter this before?

The locker is shared. Key is kept by one of the kid. -
hi,
me is so excited as we are registering our DD in 2017 for 2018 in-take. but would like to seek opinions from all daddies & mummies here.
my wifey is ex-student and we are relocating near my parent as they helped to take care of my 3 children 5yrs, 3yrs & 1yrs, from central area to redhill area.
does it make sense to apply for PHPP? i am finding a hard time justifying why our child should go through the long daily commute.

For me it doesn't make sense to send kids to a school more than 2km away from your place. let's assume that PHPPS will continue to have p1 in the afternoon session. sch off at 6.30pm, your child will have to commute home, assuming it takes 1hr, reach home at 7.30pm, shower, eat dinner by then it will be 8plus or 9pm. Homework? Do it next morning? will the grandparents be able to help?hi,

Yes, that's another thing that doesn't quite sit right with me. How can the P say PHPPS adheres to the stipulation by MOE to be a secular school, promise not to proselytize, and then make adjustment to school procedures that forces all students from various religions to do devotion!! To me, that's just religiously insensitive and wrong!!
Coupled with her stance during the P1 presentation, I find her management of the school worrying. -

Both my boys were from PH. We did not have any issue with the Christian Values sessions, even though we are not Christians. In my opinion, it is good to have an open mind to learn about the teachings of other religions, this way we grow to be understanding and be respectful of other religions practices.cherlynang:

You can always call and speak to the form teacher to voice your concerns. -

our family is not religious but i do understand why the school do the national anthem before devotion. that's probably to get all students in at the same time. otherwise parent will start opting out and get their kids to sch at a later time. I'm not sure if it's possible, perhaps you could request to have your kids sit out of devotion and do quiet reading instead?cherlynang:
