hihi,


my son is going to GRPS next year (pri 1), anyone same case my mine?

can i know when is the orientation date and where can I see the date or check it out?

heard that it's 30Dec, but isn't it too late to buy the school uniform and textbook by then?

:?: pls help to advise.

Orientation can easily be after school open i.e. 1st week of the Jan. I'm not sure if it changes now... As for school uniform and textbook, you usually will have a few dates to choose from i.e. late Nov to end Dec. Try not to go for 1st date as that's crazy... choose somewhere in-between, and you can get all you need in one 'shopping'. Do note the shoe is black color so it is quite easy to 'maintain'.

tommorrow is the 1st day of school and my son will enter Pri 1.


hw, I am still awake and scracthing my head what to bring??? I mean what book? :?

He can't carry the big heavy bag, so I think I am gg to juz pack in pencil box, colour pencil, pupil profile, social text, chinese 1a only.

Is this enuf? Hmmm..

How come the school never inform us what to bring during the p1 orientation? Or they expect us to ask the teacher, coz that day the teacher is so busy talking to so many parents, so I din have chance to ask leh...

Hi Fujiringo,


Hope your kiddo had a good time 1st day of school. Rest assured they are well taken care of, with buddies from P3. Just check the communication book (if they have) on what to bring next. With the time table, you can help to pack his bag. I personally doubt there is any need for much packing as basically, every day sure got EL, Math, MT. If you need to, u can access the GRPS website to find out the email addr of the form teacher. This way, you can write to him/her an email for any question you may have.

My DS2 is in charged of taking care new kiddo and I'm very touched and surprised that he can take care of his buddy in P1.

Hi,


Need help here! We got our son a place in GRPS this year but didn't realize that there is no bus to Jurong West where grandparents live until the orientation date. Very disappointed as many good schools would have many bus route to cater for working parents' needs.

If anyone heard of private bus or carpool from Jurong West to GRPS, please let me know.

Thank you...

My understanding is that the school tie to one school bus provider JK59 i.e. 2 years back... not sure if still the same. If you confirmed JK59 doesn't provide that route, then you can ask GO whether they got other contacts. I personally doubt so, but worth asking.


Just be prepared you are on your own as school bus provider nowadays very high-ended...

My elder son goes thru P1-P3, with my younger one now at P3... from what I see, sch work for P1 and P2 quite ok... my kids doesn't work till 11 plus... usually by 9 plus done liao.


Only when comes to P3 i.e. for my elder son, the school work pile up at 2nd half due to preparation for exam. P3 also got science, so it is unavoidable the load will increase.

I just saw the PSLE results for 2010 students in grps website on comparison with national standard. Any comments?

[blur-daddy]

I think last yr i.e. 2010, they didn't did that well for PSLE... so this year, for sure will drill the P6. Overall, I'm still quite happy with the school as I can see they got a good principal, and I'm impress with their CCA choices.

my son is in P1, it seems like alot of FA leh, he is very stress and sometimes fallen asleep after working on it. Even so, i might not have much time for guide him. The best I could do is to pack his bag and sharpened all his colour pencils and making sure everything is ready for sch tmr.


His Eng is quite poor, taking only 2/10 as result.
I wwant to let him read story book but he seems so tired liao.

Due to being full time working parents, my hb and i have to leave him at the BASC as early as 7am, and he will stay till sch end and by the time the BASC bring them back to centre, already 645 to 7pm as well, so basically he is wif BASC almost 12hours...

Yes, i noe, I am not a good mum :oops: , but trying my best already coz due to my hb's working time starts 7.30am, so have to put him at 7am once the BASC opens and my hb will drop me at a bus stop to take bus. Fromt he bus stop to my work place took almost 45 to 1 hr, sometimes i wld be on the dot or late as well...
