Hi, friends finally i completed my 60hrs. Can relax now....

congrats! I will be starting on mine soon

Now that you have completed your hours, do you mind if you share what are your thoughts about the school and staff etc?

Hi, i don really have any thoughts as we(pv) don really walk ard the whole sch. And we also don have much chances to get close the students as my duties is just to ensure they safey from sch to Point A. Most of the time jus see them running at the canteen.

Hello...

I'm startg our PV too, next week. As both of us r workg hence gotta share & clk 60hrs lo.
This yr 60+ PV, n no guarantee

Btw, need to send our kids to p1 prep course? I heard some school got entry test, to decide the classes, does northland do tat?

zoan, thanks for your feedback. People always say doing PV will let you know the school more.. and I always wonder how...


concern_parent, different school act differently. Northland (so far for me) will tell us when they will email out the job , and then we reply (fastest finger first). I think some schools will call you up instead.

virgoinvenus.. me too..both FTWP...sighhh... very stress if cannot get in and I am not < 1km... what p1 prep course are you referring to???

Well orangebelt, am not too sure too… My colics were discussg n left me feelg nervous aft tat. They gv their kids primary 1 papers Liao… My k1 boy is still so much like a baby… I dunno hw is he gg to take test/ exam.


He’s currently with My Little Campus K1… N sat he goes Berries…
I dunno adequate or nt, for p1.

Berries k1 seldom write only some activity. Quite simple de.

His maths only simple addition substraction <20. He can’t read unfamiliar words, I think he Uses memorization.

Now you are making me nervous......

btw, my impression of little campus is that it is quite academic.

Last year P1 registering day my neigh’s heard fr the principal that they are preparing for the single session so they are reducing the intake of 30 students every year. If this year the intake reduce 30 will be 210, than i think Phase 2B will be bolleting.


Last year register:
Total vancancies 240
Phase 1 : 107
Phase 2A1: 0
Phase 2A2: 19
Phase 2B: 35
Phase 2C: 137 bollet for 80 vancancies

Total of 57 peoples bollet out

really? changing to single session.... aiyo..headache..

i 1.2km away from Northland.. scare ...

My Little Campus.. ya my colics oso say quite academic.. but so far i see his performance.. soso.. on the report card, it says '2', improvements needed.

I don wan him to get too stressed also, n yet scare he cant cope.. dilemna..lucky never enrol him to a even more popular skool like CF, sure die
