Hi my daughter is in Perseverance 1. Anyone in the same class and would like to exchange info ?

Has anyone received any feedback from the teacher about ur child?

Today she brought back a pupil handbook 2011 but nothing is written in it either. :?:

My daughter is in 1 Perseverance! And no, we have not received any personal feedback from the teachers. Is there supposed to be one?

Within the first few weeks of school, my daughter managed to get into 2, thankfully minor, fiascos. She also managed to lose her student handbook except for the personal particulars page which was left behind in her bag. We had to ask for her teacher's help to obtain a new one... By the way, did you happen to notice that \"Perseverance\" is mis-spelled on the cover of the handbook?

I was tempted to write a note to let the school know about it (it doesn't reflect well on the proof-reading, does it?) but DW asked me to let things be

Feedback from my daughter indicates that recess is her favourite subject *grin* followed closely by AC. I'm glad she managed to make a few friends because she is a very quiet and reserved girl. DW and myself were initially quite worried she would be an absolute loner in class.

DW will likely attend the PSG tea-party this Saturday. Hope to hear more about the upcoming activities in school then.

Cheers -krazykid

Hi krazykid

My guess is that feedback on our dds will be given after Term 1. By this time, the comments would be more authentic. Certainly hope so.

Well, dd spotted the error on the cover page with regards to the spelling. I refrained from commenting because the last time, I shared with dd an error in the letter issued to parents on Gym Lessons (salutation for Principal was stated as \"Mr\" Catherine Seah), she shared it with her FT!

After 15 years of teaching (now a full-time SAHM), I tend to be a wee bit more empathetic with the schools. More importantly, my dd is happy and looks forward to attending school everyday. What she likes about school - mostly her friends and her FT.

Will not be attending PSG tea-party because i did not register with PSG. Dh was not at all impressed with the PSG talk during orientation so we'll just stand back and observe for now.

Maybe your dw can share after attending this Saturday's tea-party.

Well my wife attended the tea party and was impressed by some of the HoDs in the school especially the English and PAL heads. I believe that the dynamism of the PSG depends largely on parents like ourselves so it really reflects on how much we want to get involved.

This Saturday is the Math Workshop and I hope that it will be meaningful... to help me to tutor her. My daughter has been trying out the problemsums.com website. I don't have much experience with these things but I guess if she's doing it willingly, it can't be all that bad. A good command of English looks to be the pre-requisite for doing well in Math now.

Cheers!

Thanks for the update.

Dh is considering joining the Father's Club.

Looking forward to attending the breakfast session with my wife. Wondering how many people the AVA room can accommodate because there are about 150 kids in Primary 1… we might have to get really friendly if all the parents turn up

Hi parents,


Anyone with daughters in OLGC, staying in Sengkang/Punggol area and taking the school bus to school? I was shocked when I was told that the journey would take about an hour (1-way) from my place in Punggol cos the school is only about 15mins drive via expressway. :shock: So I would like to find out how your girls are taking it so far... i.e. Is it very tiring?

Thanks for sharing!
