Scary:

If my boy can get into PH, think the teachers will have a headache. He is very talkative till I want to scotch-tape his mouth. He has been asking a lot of questions in his pre-school and he is definitely not the \"normal\" PH student.


I think a kid will only ask a lot if he/she is keen and the teacher can arouse their interest in a topic. Isn't this the same for an adult?

Do you have priority in registration? In the past, of all the so-called 'popular' schs, it was still relatively easy to enrol into either PH & RGPS. Just make sure you're staying within 1km of sch.

Then came last yr's debacle. I think for the first time in many yrs, there was balloting within 1km for P2C for both schs. Some of my friends were caught out, having shifted house but got balloted out in the end.

The only consolidation is that the nearby BTPS is a very good sch too (think all subj above nat. ave for PSLE 2010). So backup plan is still better - at least academically - then some of the neigbhourhood schs.

My priority is I am within 1km of school. Should at least get a chance to ballot in 2C right?
My husband is the church member but it is not easy to get the church letter as the requirements are pretty stringent. Sigh. . .
Yes, my backup is BTPS, but kind of inconvenient. Don't know if the kid should walk, take school bus or public transport. So near yet so inconvenient.

Jennifer/Funx3,
Haha. . .I need to use masking tape soon. My son talks more than he does his work. He is also very slow in his work and loves to ask this,\"Mummy, is my handwriting nice?\" *Peng San* Thus, a simple comprehension can take an hour or more to finish.
Same during meal time. Need to do the \"zip the mouth\" action.

I think phase 2B/2C within 1 km is quite safe to get into PH? No?

All the best in your registration! Wish you will be part of this PH forum soon!

Well if not, all is not lost, place your ds' name in the waitlist, you will never know. Mine was with BTPS from P1 and mid of P2, she was transfered to PH. She (this year P4) has been happy in PH since.

Here are the last 3 problem sums in this year’s P5 MA P2 -


1. 975 boys and girls attended the school’s sports day. After 5/7 of the boys and 3/4 of the girls left, there were 150 more boys than girls who remained. How many girls attended the sports day at first?

2. Annika saved a total of 228 pieces of 10-cent coins, 20-cent coins and 50-cent coins.

She added more coins to her collection until the number of 10-cent coins tripled, removed 1/2 of the number of 20-cent coins and took out 18 pieces of 50-cent coins.

The ratio of the number of 10-cent coins to 20-cent coins to 50-cent coins is now 3:6:2

Find the total value of all the coins Annika has now

3. A group of people attended a party. Each of them shook hands with everyone else once only. Mary shook with 5 times as many girls as boy. John shook hands with 6 times as many girls as boys.

a) How many people attended the party?

b) Were there more boys or girls? How many more?

Have fun!

All the best, Scary. Though I'm no brave soul, I truly believe that fortune favours the brave. I get what you mean about BTPS location neither here nor there, unless you're staying in the private estate that is.

Just when we were consoling ourselves not to be scared by PH's std and then you post this. :yikes:

What was the mean score for P5 SA1 maths again? :nailbite:

[markfch]

panicky mummy:

can any1 advise if the student care junction good in terms of teacher, hygiene level, etc?
is it expensive?
thanks for any advice in advance..

Care Junction is run by mummy volunteers from Glory Pres. church next door. They have daily devotion and regular monitoring of h/w.

In terms of fees, I don't have the exact figure but I know that they're very affordable, but the kids have to buy their own food in the canteen.

Iirc, dyh used to put his ds there and he has good things to say about them. The only issue is that think they cap their quota to 20 students for all levels, so it's pretty tough to get accepted.

No promises but last year's Phase 2C had to ballot for those staying within 1km. My friend stays at Blk 12 Toh Yi...her 2 neighbours were balloted out...one managed to get into PH last Dec after she placed her name on wait list.

Hi Scary,
My son is super-talkative & hyperactive...he talks the moment he wakes up. I get irritated at times. His teachers have the SAME complaint during Parent-Teacher meetings year after year.
