wow.. :udawoman:


Janet, is your prince or princess in P1 next year too?

[Daddy Papa]

Hi,


Glad to find this thread. My son is currently in P1 in Ngee Ann Pri.

[3bagsfull]

JustADad:

I was at Ngee Ann at about 4pm also on Friday. We were number 231. It was a big risk as there were parents coming in. It was either Ngee Ann or my wife quits her job and my son would go to Kong Hwa. We were looking for a single session school.


Well, my son is now in Ngee Ann Primary.

Hi hi

I'm also a parent who just registered my kid with Ngee Ann. Have been aiming for it since day 1 cos I want a single session sch.

Coincidentally, I was also there at 3-4pm last fri. When I left at 4pm, I was actually quite worried cos there were just 7 places left but there were still quite a few ppl coming in (and I stayed outside 2km of it).

So when I found out that eventually they had 4 places left from P2C, I am really relieved.

Hi Daddy Papa, this means our boys are both in the same level! Who knows…they could be in the same class!!


Hi 3bagsfull, welcome! Yes, single session is really very convenient. We are able to have lots of "free time" in the afternoon and it’s very effective for us to plan his other commitments for the afternoon.

The main reason for us to aim for Ngee Ann is also because of the free time in the afternoon after school and the routine it can provide throughout the 6 years till the fella finishes pri edu. I pity those kids that need to wake up at 6am or earlier in the morning just to reach sch by 7am when they reach P3.

BTW, just wondering, has any parent here joined their PSG? How active is the PSG? I am thinking of joining cos I wanna know the sch better but not sure if it would be very demanding cos afterall, I am a FTWM.

TIA.

The PSG is rather strong. In fact, at times I find it too strong that they are leading several of the activities instead of the teachers. Hmm, pros and cons… Anyway at times I also wonder if it’s a situation of chicken-and-egg. Maybe the teachers are happy that the parents are there to help, thus relieving them of some of the duties…


These activities are definitely in the midst of schooling hours, and I believe they do not defer much from other schools’ activities:
- assisting trainers in the class during enrichment programmes
- library duties
- morning assembly duties
- mass PE

There are also other duties that require the parents to tag along for activities like swimming lessons, outings, etc.

Of course festive celebrations are also part of the activities, whereby parents would organise / set up stall / plan activities or programmes with the pupils / etc… too many for me to name.

You can sign up and indicate your availability for adhoc activities only. Thus there are some parents who are on part-time working basis, who would take part in library duties, mass PE, etc. Others working full time could only take part in adhoc activities.

Thru the activities I get to know a group of parents whom I keep in close contact as they are better source of information than our own children at times!! Haha. You would appreciate their contact lot next time! Thus try to get to know some!

My boy will be starting P1 next year too, and I m staying outside 2km fm the school too So was extremely terrified when i saw parents loitering in the school last friday, so panicking.


Actually i am also keen to sign up for PSG will try to volunteer as much as I can since I am FTWM too

hi hi
yep... My princess is in p1 next year. I love that the sch is single session sch n cohort is smaller n heard from friends' kids that the teachers are nice but firm n the school is very strong in character building. Perhaps like a mini-Dunman high there ...
