They set up tents in the morning with big ground sheets, I think? They had to move all the wooden platforms for the flooring for their tents.

Yah, that's what my boy told me they did yesterday. After that, he started having congested chest, that's why I was talking to the teachers and asking if the equipment they used was very dusty . Thought my boy could be allergic to something in the air or the equipment. Usually these stuff kept in storage for very long, right? And then the teachers also described to me what they did - lots of hard work apparently, carrying and all.

My boy has sensitive airways since young. Though these few years, he did not hv any airway prob. Dunno if he was affected by whatever that caused your boy to hv chest tightness? No one called me, his mobile phone also switched off (not supposed to bring into the camp). Tmr is the last day, I suppose I will only know then.

Btw, has the sch informed the children how the dismissal on 4th Nov will be carried out? Can we parents go inside to help with the packing? I think the boarding sch shld allow us to go in right? So many things to carry, esp for some other children who brou standing fans into the boarding hse. Plus also need to coordinate the dismissal times for each class right?

My son's teacher called me around Noontime, and then BOTH his PMs(teachers) sent him back to meet me at the clinic! They waited until I gave them the MC. haha! But v nice of the teachers.

I think dismissal can go in, lah - i saw photos of parents with their children on the last boarding day.

My boy can be quite stubborn at times. The previous hazy week, he claimed he was ok. When he came home, his voice was hoarse. Unless he really feels unwell, I doubt he will tell.

Oh, that's really serious.

Did your boy recover from the flu before going to the camp?

He already went back to school last wed, watched tschoukball competition, and formal dining and was totally fine during the weekend when at home. He was also fine when I saw him on Monday, leh (i forgot to give him pocket money!!!!!!!!!). Then dunno how he suddenly got ill.

kiasuson:

I have the same problem with the distance (staying in the east) and the broading programe. My son is offered a place from the DSA. We are now trying to make the decision on the schools. He needs to make his choices for the DSA by 30th Oct. His other choices is Dunman High (confirmed offer) and RI (waiting list). He wants RI to be his first choice and do not know which school to be his second choices in case he cannot make it to RI.


My heart tell me to go NJC but my wife says Dunman High.

May be someone can give us some advise or guidance?

I believe that you should let your son decide. Whichever school he is in, the most important thing is that he is happy in his new school. He will have more of a heart to learn if he is in a school of his choice. If he is forced to go to a certain school against his will, he may not enjoy it there, and not do well. Personally, I feel that DHS is better. It is higher up in the school rankings, and their new campus is less dangerous, with no roads within the compounds other than the carpark.
