[quote=\"dunnoleh\"]I intend to bring an air purifier for DD's room when checking in this Sunday, any ideas on brand/model?


again not coming back on Friday this week.

What is happening this weekend? CCA selection or ... ??

Heard from dd cca selection this week. Curious to know if your kid has any intention to join Jounior Council next year?[/quote]DD said must select CCA by this Friday ... thought Junior Council is to be selected not something that u can opt? Or perhaps you can opt to be selected? :?

wow....seems that NJC pupils have to stay away from home for quite a few weeks.....besides the compulsory boarding
this is one of the factor which holds back for some parents when choosing the school (at least for me)
will be very worrisome for not seeing our child

that is from the parents' perspective. My take is that boarding is generally good for the child; or at least for mine. She has become more independent, more mature .. and very importantly, more appreciative of family time ...

can't agree more. :)[/quote]oh...def they would be more appreciative of family time/ parents' love
but making boarding a compulsory issue leaves parents with no option....

the kids already shown appeciation when they come home from yearly camping, just merely few days without parents by their side
no need \"to torture\" them or us, parents, further..... anyway, just personal perference

I bought 'renuzit' air freshener from ntuc, my dd placed it on cupboard top n it is effective.

Ya lor my dd also wanted to stay overnight on Friday due to camp briefing ends at 10pm.

thanks!

actually, I feel that this boarding program also provides some good lessons for us parents.
I never knew how it was like not having DD in the house 5-6 days a week, it hasn't been easy for me... :oops:

HUH???

Yes, you mean your son didn't tell you camp briefing ends at 10pm? Camp is next week.

My son will stay back, since it's late. I'll fetch him in the morning.

I'm quite happy for my son to be at boarding. What's the big deal?
