HyperKiasu:

Zoan,


now i might understand a little bit better about your dilemma.
i think you might worry a bit too much lah...

i have one PRC friend whose daughter cope quite well with her Eng, guess what the only tuition she had is Chinese!

so dont hold prejudice against your son. Boy might show less interest in language. Thus i suggest you to read some other very useful and informative discussion thread here:
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewforum.php?f=24&sid=6d90988ac99e9d539727ff4db020e5ad

on another note of stress, i dun think sch will pressurize kids. it is the parents who do...
from what i observe, lower level kids are enjoying their sch life. my P1 son has been given numerous enrichment program at very very low cost since Day 1: Arts, Ceramic & Clay, Speech & Drama, Junior Soccer Program, Violin, Tennis, In-line-skating... you name it, they offer it...

K thaks i think i really think too much

Hi all


My son is in Northland too. He’s in P1.

From my PV experience, the school has a system that ensures all PV will get a place for their child. They do this by cutting off accepting PVs when they think the numbers indicate the need for balloting. Last year all the PVs got a place, and there was still some vacanies left in Phase 2B.

same feedback from student care ctr teachers who happen to have first-hand information to compare the standard of different schools.

Hi Hyperkiasu,

Side track a little here. Can you share with me which student care centre did you put your son in? Is it near Northland?

I am shocked to learn about the sudden closure of Eager Beaver - The Lodge at SAFRA Yishun today. The lease on the student care centre will be extended to end Dec’10 after much negotiation with SAFRA.


I would be grateful if anyone of you can recommend me a student care that is preferably near NorthLand Primary School where my daugther is studying?

Many thanks!

I heard that tis from my friend, her sis when to register her child for Phase 1 that day and the principle say they will transit to single-session by 2012 and they will reduse 30vacanies each year for the 2012 single session. And the Phances 1 this yr took up more than 50% . My son is going P1 at 2012 and i doing parent volunteer now .Do you think there is enough space for next yr register for phase 2b? there is 54 parent volunteer for 2012 intake.

I heard that the standard for Northland is vy high and there is a lot of learning journey, what should i do am i making the right choice for my son?

Or should i choose Jiemin pri or Northland Pri? :?: :?: :?:

Confirm???
If really true..I just enrol my son next yr....

the major minus is : a bit crowded for those who attend am session at school. my son(P1) is pm session, so quite good.

other plus:
manager is friendly and reasonable
flexible: due to CCA, my son only need the ctr about 2 or 3 days a week. so we dun need to pay full fee (though pro-rata is not possible) we pay about 60% of the total.
auntie can cook quite well (though some parents complain not enuf fruits provided)

during sch holiday, they also organize some overseas trip (June 2010: Shanghai Expo)... and quite a number of other activities....
