[The Alternative Story]

Hi buds,


Oh no, which area in the North exactly? If I am not
wrong, I remember you mentioning you
were moving to Woodlands. Have you tried
schools like Green Ridge, Woodgrove? I do not know
if they are still good, but a few years ago, these schools
seemed to be not too bad.

Hi buds,


Where do you get this updated schedule? My friend also recommended me to get a book from tas. She said their creative writing strategies were very good. But I am quite blur and new here and I am not sure how I can find out more about their classes or schedule. :?

Hi Laurenwkids,


Perhaps I could help you here. TAS has their own thread here:
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7586&start=0

and information on their classes can be found on their website:
thealternativestory.blogspot.com or you could also email them to ask them about their classes. Their email address should be found on their blog.

I can also give you some feedback on what I know about their classes:
I just joined their regular classes and my son is now in their crash course holiday program as well. He is enjoying himself and the lessons seem very effective for him. I would recommend you to go down to their centre to take a look at their materials. That is what I did, I also got him to go for a trial lesson after that and he was hooked on it and so was I :lol: I hear their holiday classes for december are filling up very fast so if you want to sign up, it is good to do it before more people 'chiong' to do so.

Thank you very much jeestan for the link and feedback. I have heard a lot about them from my friend as well. She mentioned that they give tips on the ksp forum as well to help with English and creative writing. Sorry to bother you again but do you know where I can find these tips

Yes, good memory! We're in Admiralty area now.

Greenridge is in Bukit Panjang, darling..

But yes, you did mention to me about Woodgrove Pri (which i went to as
well) and placed my girls' names on waitlist with practically almost all
other schools within Admiralty and also Woodlands area.

My top 3 choices are Innova Primary, Woodlands Primary and Woodlands
Ring Primary. :xedfingers: The choices are more so for convenience. But
exception for Innova cos it's new... hehee.. :lol: .. and plus i just love
how the place looks & all their programmes. Plus is, they have student
care within the school.

So, see how lar.. i was planning to swap asap when we shifted, so called
all the schools in advance but they were all full house. So, still sending
my girls to the school in CCK which is a great school which i don't mind
continuing them with if not for #3 popping soon.. and also plans to
resume working after confinement. No choice. Gotta find somewhere
nearer to home.

I'm still keen on putting them for your pgrm... hopefully you're not too
full by the time i receive some news from any one of the schools.

Hi buds,


Oops, sorry I thought Green Ridge was at Admiralty. Seems like it
is very tough to find a place in school in Woodlands. How about trying
for schools at Sembawang or Yishun?

Hopefully, you can find a spot for them soon. It must be very
tiring to travel all the way to their present school and back.

And congratulations on your pregnancy! :celebrate: You must
be so happy What kind of work would you be looking
for? Would you be running phonics programmes? It would be
a hit, I am sure.

Hope we can have your daughters join us as well when you have
everything settled.
