      Yes, I heard that transport is provided to send them to the pri sch, then they have to go back on their own.

      dd didn’t sign up, she has creative writing prog on Monday.
      Heard that CCA only starts in 2nd term, so results may not be out so soon.

          Hi octopusmum, students who has A* for psle English can go for the creative writing prog, there are 2 categories, creative writing and poetry, can choose one. This can be considered as IDP.

          dd chose badminton, wushu, eldds, cldds, st john, npcc.
          🙏 🙏 🙏 she won't end up in UG

              octopusmum:
              the students have to go to the primary school themselves? ds said there would be a bus to ferry them there.


              when would the ccas \"results\" be out?

              thks
              results should be out after Chinese New Year.

              uhh btw if you join infocomm you don't have to do IDP right?

                    You can still go and say you are keen.

                    I am wondering what is wrong with this locker key thing. RV is really doing herself a disfavour. Why want to take the trouble to manage another set of lockers themselves just because they feel a waste to throw away the existing set of lockers. Just let the outsourced company managed whatever that the MOE approved and save all the trouble. There are always the best people with specialty to manage specific services with great efficiency. If you are not in that business, why bother to take over other people roles who are better at it?

                      Not all can afford or willing to pay $40 plus for the third party locker. School charges only $10 Plus $5 deposit, getting the students to manage FOC.

Maybe if people can look at it this way, they will be more understanding. The outsource company run the lockers at a profit and they can afford to use special locks with code and all the manpower to maintain the locker. While the school's own lockers are run on a voluntary basis by students. Inherently, the old lockers already have some inefficiencies, you see, old batch of students need to return the keys. If some don't return, then someone have to chase them for it. If someone lost the key, then someone need to duplicate the keys again. All these are rather tedious job with NO profit.
