For me, I think it is ok for Friday. The child will be more motivated to wake up earlier that day as it is going to be a weekend and no school tomorrow.


The school might have problems accommodating to this change as it will affects the CCA which is scheduled to be conducted during Wednesday afternoon. It will have to be planned ahead before the year 2012 starts. You probably have to call the school and seek a way to do this first.

Any supporter of this suggestion by slepland?

Yes. Fully supported.

Changing to Fri sounds like a good idea, but knowing how the govt works, i seriously doubt they will even consider it… It obviously takes thorough planning for the school to plan the rosters of the different classes/levels way beforehand, to ensure that things will run smoothly. Asking them to change would be a big jump out of that comfort zone…

Agreed that there may be difficulty to get the school to even try to do that just because a few parents feel this is more suitable. However, we should try to engage the school more closely so that we can create the awareness that parents are willing to work together with the school to nuture a good learning and motivated environment for our children. Which in turn (we all hope they can be a better person and have better results.


I think this is what the school wants as well. I am not sure how is the current situation of the Parent Support Group in the school and whether it is one possible avenue to address parents’ concerns and suggestions to the school.

There is a briefing session for the new intake in November. This may be a good time to bring up the matter to the school.

We just need proposer & seconder for P1 2011 intake preferably old boys/girls. A team of 10 other signature split between p1 & p2 parents. Submit to principal, cc moe & school advisory committee. By the time the issue get ding dong around due to chain of command, 5 months should be enough to put this localised issue thru. If we do it in November we can all forget about it.

Went to registered. As at 2.50pm today, the applicants are already more than 60 n most of them are within 1 km. Vacancy is 69 .

Worried . Two more days to go.

[magiccastle]

As of end 27 Jul, there are 70 registered for 69 vacancies for phase 2c. As predicted, there will be no phase 2c for this year registration. It will be interesting to find out whether those within 1km need to ballot or not. Let's keep our fingers cross and monitor the results for today and tomorrow. If total registered number is not too far off from 69, those within 1km should be safe.

Ok, we should arrange a session together to get this thing sign off and bring this matter to the attention of the school. Currently, I think the total response from the posts currently is at 4 affirmative replies. If anyone reads this forum and agrees to it, please response. Thank you.
