Just realise from this forum I can actually print my sons Immunisation Record from NIR. It even show those immunisation which my son took when he was in Australia. haha... I did not even know there is such a website. Learn something new today. Just in time for my son's P1 registration.

I just found that out 2... noob one... but dun remember my dd's birth id#... duh...

I don't think the school will be keeping the letter. It's just for application purposes.


Daddy D,
Why will the school give TONS of homework ??? :?

Hi bigfoot, can share which website? I must have missed out the website. My daughter missed her recent eye test in sch & was told to go to SGH to get it done. Must she have it done before registration? Anybody knows?

Cos' the better schools would expect the kid to know his schoolwork before term starts. The better schools don't teach u the \"basic\" stuffs... from my past experience

[janet88]

I agree with you…teachers in those better schools or elite ones have been outsourcing the ‘teaching’ to parents, who in turn teach themselves or outsource to tutors/enrichment centres. I’ve heard of Andrew Er Maths centre to have a wait list, and that is just one centre out of the many.

Maybe that's how they achieve their \"teach less\" thingy... but outsourcing to us!
Saw 1 presentation slides from past Pri1 orientation... the various HODs will provide a list of supplementary books/titles.... jiat lat... the beginning of the poor kid's paperchase...

Yeah…right. That stupid new thing of ‘teach less, learn more’ :x
I’m very fortunate my son’s teachers are committed and REALLY teach the students. Otherwise, I will go broke sending him to tuition centres.
Supplementary books ? Just wondering how the govt can ask couples to give birth to more kids when education is such a killer in S’pore.
