Nanyang Primary

[thankgod]

agree that toh tuck is a little far. perhaps the principal would like to ask for alternative suggestions and feedback? personally, i don’t agree for dual sessions. there will be too much disruptions, especially to the P5 P6.

I'd rather they run 2 sessions than to move so far away.

Currently, the school starts at 7:30am and ends at 1:30pm...that's 6 hours of classes.

If the school were to run 2 sessions, the am classes will have to knock off early (12:30pm?) so that the pm session can run from 1 to 6.

So is it good idea to have 2 less periods per day? Parents of P5 and P6 students might not like the idea.

Maybe for the lower primary, the first 2 periods can be for subjects that need not be conducted in classrooms? I guess P5 and P6 need not be affected as there are just 13 classes for each of P1 and P2.

Or for the AM session, for 1 day, class ends later but for the rest of the week, class ends 1 period earlier, so free up some classrooms for the P1 and P2 in PM session?

How do schools with 2 sessions cope?

I personally prefer they have shuttle buses between NYPS and CIS, both in the morning and afternoon. How about afterschool care, enrichment and CCAs? Some P2s already in school teams. The students still have to come back to the main campus rite? I hope the Sch considers all these carefully. I think I would email the P later today about this.

if the only choice is CIS, then the consideration will be logistical issues. how best to hep the parents get their kids to school. what will be the best option that is workable for all parties (parents, children, school). its no small task as i believe one will never be able to satisfy everyone.

i guess the main gist of the consideration has to be transportation from NYPS to CIS in the morning and CIS back to NYPS at the end. NYPS has to be the official drop off / pick-up location, although i realize that some parents would rather drop off / pick-up at CIS. but remembering that these children are P1/P2, they really need to learn how to get home nd to give them confidence. imagine the chaos at dismissal when some children will be picked up at CIS whereas others will be picked up at NYPS. it will be so much simpler for teachers if all drop-off/pick-ups are to be done at NYPS. teachers will assemble with the children at NYPS do a roll-call in NYPS then take shuttle to CIS for classes. at the end of day, teacher will do roll-call again and take shuttle back to NYPS for dismissal. no drop-off/pick-up at CIS. that's my 2cents.
