hi parents,


Just got ds's confirmation letter. Orientation is on 19-Nov. What do they do with the kids during orientation? Some yrs back, my friend's kid in another hot sch nearby was given 200 words for spelling during orientation, to be tested in first week of jan. How's that as an introductory gift? :roll:

A friend of mine who \"missed the cut\" to PHPPS had the child in Bt Timah Pri and they had a mini entrance exam. The girl said very difficult papers. BTW, this girl is now in PHPPS and doing tops since transfer.

Here, orientation for parents is long lecture, for kids, mainly get to know each other, no tests. My DS played games during orientation. Not as stressful as we imagined. Infact, I find here, the kids have a lot lesser homework than neighborhood schools. Those schools push the kids even more to move up the ranks.

Forgettable during my PTM in P1, asked teacher, how's DS doing in school, her reply \"oh, he's so cute, I wish I can hug him all the time\". :rotflmao: but from what I know, she's a no nonsense teacher. Can't blame her, where there's boys, there's chances of trouble brewing somewhere.

hello good evening,


I would like to check if anyone P1 &P2 kids stay at clementi ave 2 and take school bus at 8am to Pei Hwa? my son need to take morning transport around 8am to care junction in Pei Hwa. Thanks

Hi, i had this problem in the past and in the end, i just fetched him to school at 8.30 am everyday since my workplace is quite near.

one thing great abt care junction is that they have daily bible story session. my son knows the bible well becos of the care givers there.

thks dyh,


my hubby fetched him to school before 8:30 everyday but have to rush to work.
I saw "PHPPS"'s bus passing clementi ave 2 every morning with some pupils in, just wonder if this bus send the pupils to PHPPS or others place?

Agreed with u abt the care junction have daily bible story session n my son look like also attending to Bible class during recess.

Hi notabox,
All the best to you and parents registering in Pei Hwa for 2011.

Hi janet_lee88, thanks for your well wishes. Went to school to register this morning and queue no. given was 37. Told dh to relax as some may be >1km...the lady at registration desk told us most applicants are within 1km so far :!:

So all we can do now is pray... in any case, went to BTPS open house and school environment is nice. Guess if really can't make it to PHPPS, BTPS will have to do.

Hi el17, I had ‘pmed’ you the contact of the school bus driver who picks up kids from the Clementi/ West Coast Area. He might be able to help.

Looks like my hope of getting ds into PH is almost dashed - we live within 2km... wondering if we should go ahead and try our luck or go to Keming instead (within 1km). Or is Bukit Timah a better school than Keming? Any advice, fellow parents?
