Hi Genice, based on the charts, balloting was required for those living within 1 km of the school in the 2009 exercise. In 2010, balloting was required for those living within 1 to 2 km. So if you are staying within 1 to 2 km, it's a bit risky. You might either not get to ballot (i.e. those within 1 to 2 km no chance at all), or you might have to ballot. Hence, best to try to do PV, or consider other schools that are also near your place?

Hello Kit and Morinosuke,


My son is in 1J. Anyone else from that class?

We didn't sign him up for any CCA either, but we did join one under the HPPA.

I can't count on my son to feed himself lunch at P1, or to spend a whole day at school from 10am-7pm. Quite tiring for a seven year old (made worse by my born-in-dec son!).

Heard from some neighbours that when they shift to RJC premises at Ghim Moh, the school will only have a single session for all levels.
ie P1-P6 will all be in the morning session, but school only starts at 8.30am.

Dunno how true it is since i heard it from the void deck grapevine!

Hi Cody,


Which CCA did your son get join under HPPA? Mine has joined squash.

cody:

but school only starts at 8.30am.

The part about single session from P1 to P6 is confirmed.
Hope the this part about timing is also true.

I do feel the changes in Henry park are good, the stress levels compared to other schools is lesser.

Hello Morinosuke, Sun_2010 and Cody,


I'm sorry for the late reply.

I did not put my boy in any CCA as we do not stay near Henry Park and I would like him to get used to his P1 life first.

However, he attends swimming lessons and goes for piano on weekends. These are his CCAs currently.

How are all your children coping with P1 studies so far?

Mine just had his Ting Xie yesterday.

Will you all be going for the first LJ? I intend to join them on 31 May. Any of you also going as parent volunteer?

I also hope the part on starting at 8.30 am next year is going to be true.

Hi, Parents.


Our eldest child will be in P1 in 2012. Our choice for now is HPPS.

We know that HPPS will operate from former RJC compound for 1.5 years starting 2012. Nevertheless, would like to check how you drop and pick up your kids everyday given that the road along the entrance is 2-way single-lane.

Also, is it necessary to get the kids handphone? Think they can’t use it during lessons, correct?

Thanks in advance.

Is anybody able to confirm whether school will indeed start at 8.30 am next year? How about thereafter, when the school moves back to the current premises from the former RJC? I wonder whether it will continue the 8.30 am starting time then : )

How do you parents find the principal?

Hi sun,


We signed up for golf which starts today incidentally.

So single session is confirmed! Just as well cos I prefer my son to be in am session. He naturally wakes up at 7am daily!
I only hope that the kids can return home to eat lunch rather than canteen food. My P1 boy will certainly NOT feed himself a proper lunch.

While on this issue, may I pls seek advice. What do boys wear for PE?
I pack the gym shorts for him but he tells me that he doesn't ever wear it.
The girls in his class change out but the boys don't.
I'm no wondering ... Is the gym shorts for gym only?
Or is there another PE shorts that I didn't buy?

Pls help!
