Moonee, mine's the one with the missing book - which, by the way, mysteriously resurfaced in class last week before the Nat Day weekend - found by the same teacher on the teacher's table with no one admitting to having put it there :?

Me thinks the teachers at RGPS don't sleep.

Moonee, do you see any difference now that there's a new principal at the helm? My fren who has a P6 this year is stressed coz she believes that the P would want the teachers to perform, given this is her 1st year. And believes that they'd then push the girls.
:shock: I'd have thought our gals, Luanee, would be more under scrutiny since it's her 1st batch of those \"fully under her charge\" :roll: Anyway, I've met her though (the P). Very level-headed and nice lady. Been in HQ MOE for some time now, so hopefully will not have the \"baggage\" of being at the schools for too long

Hi Moonee, yes I am a FTWM. So far it's quite relaxing for us now as there are not too much homework for the P1s except for the weekly spelling and ting-xie. Things only get 'exciting' during the pre-SA period when I get more gan-cheong and print SA papers for her to do.


Andaiz, actually I have not met the new principal yet, hee... The teachers dont sleep one eh? Wow luckily they dont expect that from the parents or students

I met her coz my gal was running across the hall in her excitement :oops: :oops: and she addressed her by name (nametag mah!) so I was a bit stunned...struck up conversation coz I initially thought she was also another parent. Then she told me she was Mrs Yue... :roll:

Thankfully, they don't expect that from the parents...I've got two younger ones at home so by the time I spend time with them in the evening, I'm about to :faint:

Andaiz, so the new principal looks like another parent eh? Wow so not as easily recognisable as the previous one in her trademark cheongsum. Mmmm… like that even if I see maybe I also wont know it’s her…

Thanks Moonee! I will certainly do that.


btw, when are we supposed to purchase books and uniform? At orientation?

hi Andiaz n Luanne, I mistook the P as one of the teachers when she first started cos she was watching the kids at the tuckshop, shes quite pretty though simple looking. Heard from some teachers that shes rather nice too. I guess ur right abt her being level headed… came across some post from teachers sending her their appreciation on teachers day when she was superintendant. U mentioned ur friends p6 girl being stressed, i guess its who she get as her teacher, I do know some p6s in the normal stream, stressed but nothing out of the ordinary. There are d department heads that the teachers report to and they all have their responsibility to carry out. Actually, the stress is rather high in p5 already. Well that is RGPS , whoever the principal is.

Mrs Yue has her mind on her own which she doesn’t state her reason for rejection of parents’ strong requests, by simply saying "I don’t think it is beneficial".

A handful of parents had requested her to compute the aggregate score based on SA1 results so that we know where our child stands relative to P6 level. Never mind it is not true indication as PSLE looks at whole cohort. We only want indicative gauge.

I personally don’t find her convincing and a person of stature.

\"Not beneficial\" from whose stand-point, caroline3sg? That the gals would compare; that it is purely a gauge, or that it would be too much work for the teachers without much benefit?

I think the score would have been computed though, given the level of details RGPS goes through...
