DS2 told me that the bookshop opens at 9am. I've dropped my maid there at 9.30am this morning after dropping DD3 to school, only then was told by the security that the bookshop opens from 10.30am to 11am (wow wow, 30 mins only, might as well don't open, that's DH's comment after i called and told him).
Hi Blissfulmum!
For your information, the bookshop does open at 9 am. However, parents/guardians are only allowed in the school at 10.30-11 am, and another time slot in the afternoon (can't remember the time; I think it may be 1.30 pm).
Looks like things haven't been blissful to you so far. Take heart. -
Attended the PTM yesterday and Mrs Wong had shared with us RMPS's results.
As well as the reason why they didn't post up PSLE 2010 results in time etc. Cos she said she heard \"rumours\" thru KSparents that RMPS is not doing well, that's why didn't wanna show.. LOL
Based on her presentation, most subjects were above national standard except for SCIENCE. DH's first reaction is, \"WAH, this kind of results she also dare to show huh?\"
Well, I think Mrs Wong is trying to be as transparent as possible that's why she dares to show the stat results of all subjects. But then, their science results is really worrying. And wonder if it's the \"fault\" of the HOD of Science or is it because their science teachers are simply WEAK.
Parents, any idea how could we help our children to do well in Science? It's not like English or Maths. It's a subject that the child has to understand the concept then apply.
Do extra tuition helps? environment teacher is also an impt factor for science. What do u think?
Looking at their results, honestly, I don't think I can rely on the teachers in school
Please share your thoughts. Her presentation can be downloaded from their school website after 13 Jan 2011, Thursday - FYI. -

Yeah, indeed a very frustrating and draining experience for a new year to start with. And being a new parent at RMPS didn't help either.
Think it's a pay back time. Cos I never had any problems like such when my boys were at ZPS. I was a old school girls and enrolment is a breeze either. Uniform can get it from school or at Queenstown. No hassle at all!!
Never I have been like a headless chicken lor... LOL
Well, I have done all I could, try my luck outside the school, feedback to the school... now besides WAITING.. I don't think I could do anything for now.
COOL.............CALM....................:-p -

Did Mrs Wong mention anything about benchmarking to other schools in the PSLE results? -

I'm surprised Radin Mas didn't do as well last year, as they have always had a reputation for their high standards and excellent results, especially under the leadership of the previous Principals. :shock:Blissfulmum:

Oops, she's probably reading this too.... LOL
Well, personally, I would be glad if she is reading our conversation here.. at least, this provides her another channel to hear what parents feel.

Dear Parents
Just want to give everyone an update on the above. As mentioned, I've emailed their Operation Manager, Mr Paul Tan and had marked Mrs Wong on copy, last evening (after I return from the PTM).
Mrs Wong has responded to my email this morning which again I have shared her feedback on this forum earlier.
I was in fact, impressed with Mrs Wong's prompt response to this despite her busy schedule and it looks like she is taking feedback positively and act upon it QUICK.
I remembered reading her note (memo to parents, which DS had brought back), she said she is looking for POSTIVE feedback, positive was bold and highlighted. I was jokingly telling DH that it seems like she only wants positive feedback and we can forget abt the negative ones.. hahahaha....
Back to topic... Mr Paul Tan had called me earlier, and told me that he has spoken with the Book Shop Supervisor, Vincent. and confirmed that the school diary is in, and PE short (Size S) coming next week, and my boys' name tags already in but just that the staff there didn't really go seach for it when my helper was there this morning. Mr P Tan asked me to get my DS to see him tomorrow at his office and he will hand them the tag personally. Am grateful once again.
Mr P Tan also asked Vincent (the BS supervisor) to contact me directly, so that I could tell him what's outstanding and he will source for us ASAP.
Mr P Tan also reckon that Mrs Wong has seen the long Q outside the bookstore and actually wasn't quite happy with the situation and had ask them to resolve this ASAP.
Overall, I am quite happy with Mrs Wong's prompt action to my first feedback to RMPS and believe that she will bring RMPS to a greater height
Although I must admit that it was somewhat a \"painful\" experience to start a new year, in a new school. BUT it's comforting that at least, our voices are heard. -

Science is a subject which is not easy to teach even through enrichment centere. I guess the best is to use internet to search the rersult or go to Science Centre more often to get answer.
Oh Science PSLE result not so good, like that HOD (Science) sure kanna question! :!: -

Blissfulmum,
The school diary is out? Can we ask the FT to order for the whole class? Guess we do not want our DS or DD go quene up during recess to get the diary. The diary opearting hour is indeed very short, like maybe 30-45 minutes & everyone rush like mad.
