Hi KSMUMMY
Congratulations!
Do you have any idea how is Rosyth transitting into a single session school as the intake is huge? Heard any plans of the school expanding or will it reduce future intake?
Once again, happy for you :lol:
Thanks a lot. -

Will contact you once confirmed my girl in what class in P1 in CHIJ OLN, just want to check with U, U will send your girl to school or by school bus? I heard that the school bus will come around 6.10 a.m., means that around 5.30 a.m. the small girl must wake up already. -

School starts at 7.15 am and the bus comes so early. Let me see what the bus operator says closer to school reopens and then will decide. Hope they come at least at 6.30. thx -

From what I know, Rosyth will be reducing intake gradually, definitely not one of the early batch to convert to single session any time soon, given the school's mega size..... Schools have up to 2015/2016, right?? -

[quote]4. And finally, there's the question of practicability. It wouldn't make sense for a child who stay at one end of the country spend hours travelling to a school on the other end of the country. Singapore may be small, but not that small. [/quote]With the sentence above, I believe the system still needs additional tweaking. 2A/2B in my opinion should not be abolished. However, there should be a limit set for 2A. Places after Phase 1 should be apportioned too, accordingly with Phases 2B/2C. Number of years stayed at the location should also be taken into account and highlighted clearly by MOE (on their website).
I understand the need for ex-students wanting to send their kids to their old school but if you are living so far away then it would not be healthy. Yes by all means send your kid to your ex-school BUT if the school is in Bishan and you live in Bedok ...
I live next to CHS (50m away) and every morning theres a jam 1km long from all directions for parents dropping off their children to school. I intend to send my son to that school next year but with 27 places left for Phase 2C there seems to be little hope. Where's the logic in me having to send my son to another school 2km away. BTW I have been living there for 11 years, way before my son was born.
Change is a constant. The system is not the best that we have. -
