Hi Mummies & Daddies,

Is there any Parent Support Group in Pei Hwa ?
I know we are so very active here…some parents in other threads are amazed at the 4 digit thread we have.

Honestly, it would be great if there is a PSG…stressed parents like myself can voice out our concerns.

My ds always looks over my shoulder and reads what I post at this forum. We're really close in relationship. He read what you posted recently about your ds hiding things in different parts of his bag. He must have shared this with your ds in sch, which must have aroused his suspicion as a result.

I wished the opposite direction is also true; cos my ds just spent $9 on a \"very special\" watch and another $2.80 on a \"very special\" notebook today. And being the supportive dad that I aspired to be, I egged him on by praising his taste, much to the chagrin of my onlooking dw. :roll:

Hi Drickmummy, I am an ex-PHPPS parent. My dd (sat for it last year) said that she cannot remember the 1st screening test but I remember her saying that the Math Paper is quite tough while the EL paper is easy. All the topics should have taught in school but not the Olympiad type of qn.

Ok, for the selection test, there is an EL paper follow by a GA paper. Then a Ma paper follow by a GA paper. EL paper consists of MCQ and short question. All the GA papers and Math Paper are MCQ. The EL paper consists of long passage (tiny words) of 1 to two pages. Can't remember how many passages. For the Math, they are rather challenging as my dd find it tough. The Math GA is mainly consists of puzzles, logic, picture (differences), patterns etc. Might be useful to expose kid to oly. type of qn. Who know they might include more of these qn in the test.
In my opinion, the tests are getting harder and harder each year.[/quote]


Thanks Comfy!

Seems like my boy won't make it lah but hopefully he can at least make it thru round 1... my sister made it thru round 2 but only got to top 10%. She challenged my boy to beat her...

It's really nice to know the parent of your child's classmate. For one thing, you know who to ask regarding homework or school-related stuff. Recently, I had the opportunity to get to know my the mum of my son's classmate. Now we both know what is going on in class when my son conveniently tells me he has forgotten what's for homework :slapshead:

Absolutely Agrees!!
Very useful to know parents of classmates to countercheck homework & behaviour.... :evil: One way is to throw a party and ask them to sms you to confirm attendance!! ha ha.... then come or don't come, you will get their numbers!! :siam:

Ds had the same problem earlier in the year... after a while, I told him can only buy 1 item/week, other times, can see cannot buy... else no more pocket money.... so far so good :xedfingers:

Congrats and welcome.

:rahrah: Yes indeed it is great news to be in PHPS, however, when you are finally in, you would want to get out... you will soon be freaked out by the system and the teachers.... you should have been at the back gate at term 1 & 2. many girls cried and simply refused to go to school coz the teachers shouted in class & scolded kids with \"I dont care...\" \"SHUT-UP\" etc etc... BTPS seems more a happier place...
