Secondary School Open House 2011

I wonder why. Maybe they want to catch the students before they disappear for the June holidays.

Some schools have Open House in November, but usually those who have Open House in May don't have another in November. So go visit all the ones you're interested in next week.

Anyone looking forward to the 7 new IP school open house?

[phankao]

but not all the schools are starting IP next year - eg. CHS and SNGS are starting IP in 2013.

So for the girls, can start off at Nanyang at 8am, followed by RGS, grab a quick lunch, then off to MGS/SCGS.


But I say it's better to just choose 2 schools and cover those two schools properly in terms of going for the talks, touring the school and chatting with the students/teachers.

Thanks, Jtoh.


Care to share what are the things to look out for during the touring in the open house?

Cheers

I would attend the Principal's talk and some of the other talks to get a sense of the school's ethos, philosophy etc. Then go visit the exhibitions, booths which are manned by students. Talk to the students and the teachers to get a sense of the school culture. Do you and your child get a positive vibe from the school? Is this where you would want your child to spend the next important 4 years of his/her school life? Take a look at the school's facilities and CCA offerings.


Which schools are you eyeing?
