May I ask how would you rate your child in term

(1) how hands-on is your child’s learning style
(2) how keen is your child into techie stuff

My DD is 6/10 so I do have my reservations on how well can she fit into the school, thus like to hear from other parents who received the CO/WL please.

Hi TAccs
Understand your concern over your DD's ability to get the best out of her learning style. SST style of approach in teaching may not suit every child in terms of their learning method but i believed SST has their way of gauging the student's ability when they conduct their selection camp. Furthermore, your DD is one of the 200 being selected, definitely they see some potential in her because not only is she able to go thru the GAT and CRT successfully but she also managed to clear the selection camp as well (discussion, group work cum interview). That is a lot for a P6 kid.

As a parent, I respected my DS's decision if that is what he wanted although the school fee is kinda of X for a independent school that has a 4 year O level programme. So the question here is whether your DD is keen in going to SST or not? If so, maybe you should highlight your concern to her as a parent.

I also understand that the number of student per class in SST is about 20 to 25 based on their website info, so maybe with a smaller class size, teacher and student interaction will be more thus it is also good for the child to ask and learn more from their friends. And also the number of girls to boys ratio is smaller so i believed the bonding among the girls will be stronger and they will definitely be able to help each other out, right?

Every child is different and i believed even if your DD is 6/10 and not so IT savvy, she can make it for sure.

(Good school, that is all I can say, the VP emphasizes on values rather than results.)

Hi, anyone happen to know what is the school hours at SST? I think I heard it’s 3 or 4pm for a specific day in the week?

School starts at 840am on Mondays and 740am for the other days. Latest class ends at 3pm but that is only one day of the week. The kids do sometimes need to stay later to do project work or supplementary lessons.
