Radin Mas Primary

Blissfulmum:

:thankyou: Titank for your kind advice and sharing...

Your DS1 is P4 now? I assuming that he was born in the year of the dragon & during the P1 registration, the competition was very fierce. You just requested to transfer in 2010? Perhaps you consider lucky as there are parents being trying since they are in P1.

If I were you, I wouldn't transfer my sons to RMPS. However, I would consider sending DS2 to schools that offer GEP. As such, I would wait till he go through the GEP before I take any action with regards to the transfer....

I agree wtih QMS that if your boys are happy at ZDPS, then there's no need to switch to Radin Mas. Coz i don't think the standard between these 2 schools are that far apart.

Changing school means, having to get to used to a new environment, friends, teachers. I think it's rather disruptive at this stage, eps when he's already in P4.

Hi Blissfulmum!

In addition to what preggie mentioned, you have to be prepared - what happens if your DS2 faces the same situation in Radin Mas? Does it mean you are going to transfer him out again until you find a school that suits him? :scratchhead:

In fact, I agree with preggie that the standards between the two schools are that that different. If you look at the top PSLE scorers of the schools, you will notice that the difference is not that significant.

Dear QMS


Thank you for your kind advise. I did had the same thoughts as u, why rock the boat?

I went to RMPS to collect the letter of acceptance this morning. They required me to come back to them with my boys' report books on the same day for their update.

I went back to ZPS with a heavy heart. I met DS2 form teacher and he said, althought DS2 is in Band 1, but he is still not up to his standard and expectation. He was quite disappointed with his results in some ways, DS2 came in fifth in his class.

But he felt that probably he may excel in a change environment. Then I moved on to see the school counsellor who has been \"watching\" DS2 since he has been very \"active\" in school. The school counsellor has always adores him and was the one was had asked me either to go search for a better school which can stimulates him further, if not wait for P3 - GEP. As I have mentioned, I didn't opt for the latter cos i really don't think DS2 will be chosen. Like you, the school counsellor also didnt agree with me and she strongly believes that HE CAN DO IT. But she is very glad that RMPS has accepted him. Cos she felt that DS2 is not naughty or a trouble maker but he is just BORED in school.

With her assurance, I had proceeded to send the report books to RMPS earlier and had completed the transferals.

I can see why DS1 is ready to move, cos he is worried he can't cope. DS2's reason is plain silly, cos he said he will missed swimming class in P3 cos he saw his brother having swimming lessons for PE when he started P3.

Let see how it goes... my hubby said, i waited so long.. almost a year + for this.. so dun sway anymore liao.. my colleague said, trust my first instinct and why i wanna move them in the first place.

Now , i will leave their fate to \"God\".. yes, i do agreed that parents has do to a play in nuturing our children and cannot soley rely on school.

Both my boys are doing KUMON, for 3 yrs now.. DS2 had received SILVER in Maths for first year, and the following 2 yrs in GOLD. I also send them for enrichment camps during school holiday, chinese, science, art.. whatever.. he is also doing Taekwando and Swimming for leisure... what else should I or can I do further? I don't know .. really..

Anyway, thanks parents for your kind advice.. and wish me luck

Perhaps you can let your DS2 know that RMPS has swimming for PE for all P3s, too. So, he won't miss anything that his brother has gone through.

Glad that you have made a decision. Now that you have made the decision, it's time to move forward, and not think too much.

We look forward to your contribution in KSP.com, since we do not see that many parents whose children are in higher levels contributing here. So far, it has been the P1 parents talking to each other.

Of course, :welcome: to the RMPS family! We all hard for our children to perform well in all aspects, too.

Welcom to RMPS family...Has RMPS confirmed your kids class? For your reference, there are 2 best classes from P3 (3M? and 3A2). Students in these 2 classes will go for advance chinese. There will be diffrence in each level of classes, hope your kids can be in good one...

Yah, he was assured at the General Office this morning that he will have his swimming lessons too.. and guess he should be OK.

Hi Blissfulmum,

Glad to know that you had make a decision on this, perhaps you can check with the school whether can you join in the P1 oridentation? Had the school done any oridentation with your child already?
