I received the confirmation letter for P1 registration. Orientation 20 Nov 2009, 11am. Phew, luckily no need to ballot, as we are within 1km. Got a scare when the applicants exceeds vaccanies and dh's cousin said there was balloting for his dd's registration in yr 2007 (<1km).

Congrats

My son has gotten a place in Phase 2B.


By the way, any parents have any advice on what to expect during orientation on 20th Nov 09? Are we going to buy books and school uniform that day?

Thanks.

Hi Jennifer!


Did you use to study in a JC along Bt Timah? The old address of the JC is now occupied by a girls’ school.

Hi,

I stay within 1km of PH. DS will be in P1 in 2012. Quite concern that we will need to ballot comes his time. Did not volunteer for PV cos of my working schedule.

Heard that the school has a new principal and it’s quite a stressed environment. Any parents can share regarding this?

#1 joined this school in P4. A neighbour whose dd joined at P1 told me the old principal was very caring, but the overall sch results under her charge was not so glorious. Another casual friend complained some teachers not doing a good job. Both were hoping the new principal would mean improvement in teaching attitudes of these types of teachers.

So far, my children have very responsible teachers. The elder one is in the top class, so the teachers' expectations are higher (according to #1). I do not know of any other children in the same level but different classes, so I cannot comment on whether there is a different amt of workload. Last year #1 complained there was so much work and the FT confirmed that P5 was the most hectic year and P6 pace would slow down a bit. True enough, semester 1 was less hectic than P5 days. Semester 2 seems ok too.

#2 scored low end of Band 1 in his P1 subjects w/o much guidance from me. Turned out there are many very smart children in the same level, so #2 is sent to the 5th class in P2 level. I don't think the environment is stressful (or stress is caused by the school). It's really up to the parents.
