Hi,


DS will be starting his 6 yrs primary eduction in SAPS, hope he'll enjoy his stay.


Hi mowmow,
Care to share more on the PSG thing? Was considering whether to join.


Thanks.

Hi, PSG in SAPS helps out in the following areas :
1. Kidsread (read to kids who cannot read and who are from the less priviledged families. This is conducted in English and Malay, not sure about Mandarin.)
2. Hall Project (We help to keep the P1s & P2s occupied in the hall when their teachers are having their contact time.)
3. Library (Art & Craft sessions and Story-telling sessions)
4. Manning of the De La Salle Lounge (this is the place where children come to play board games, etc, when they come to school early or while waiting for their CCAs)

We also help out on adhoc basis as and when help is required, eg. the recent P1 registration exercise. If u want to have more specific details, feel free to let me know.

Hi mowmow,


Btw, can’t seem to find gymnastics listed on the CCA page. Where can I find more information about it?

Anthoprise seems interesting. Noticed that while it is open to P1, schedule is Fri 1:45 pm to 3:15 pm which clashes with P1 afternoon classes?

Thanks.

I am not sure whether does the school offer gymnastics as a CCA. If it does, most prob it just started (will try and get more info for u next week when I go to school). However gymnastics is a compulsory program within their PE lessons for a period of 15 weeks. For this, parents have to pay a subsidised amount from your kid's edusave account. If I remember correctly, it costs S$15/-. As for Anthoprise, I do not think it is really open to P1 & P2s (never heard anything from my kids), if it is, then there will be a separate session in the morning, normally from about 10-30-12 noon.

Hi all,


any mummies/daddies care to share their PV experience? I wrote in to school last year but to-date, no reply as to whether I am accepted as a PV , my child is due to enter P1 in 2010, so i am in a way panicking as I wish to avoid the \"thrill\" of balloting in Phase 2C and also i am too late to enrol myself as an active community member... :?:

Does St Anthony accept PVs? when can i expect to hear the school's decision on acceptance of PVs??? thanks in advance...

...my child is due to enter P1 in 2010...

:!: Your child is due to enter P1 in 2010, which means you should have registered for him already! :?

I send my request for PV in May'08 for 2009 enrolm, below is their reply


We would like to thank you for offering to provide voluntary services to the school.I have forwarded your particulars to the relevant personnel and we will contact you if we need your services. Please note that the school has the discretion to employ parent volunteers for their activities.

No response in the end, tried calling them also but the person in-charge did not get back either :x

Mebi u can try to go down personally :idea:

[Carrotree]

wow, how can? cos i hv been called the school and the staff told me:

1) volunteers have not been called up yet
2) response will be given - whether accepted or not

hai, worried sick cos its too late to be community leader and i so badly want my son to be in the school…

No use going down, a friend of mine did, the staff don’t entertain walk-ins, probably they are so busy…

Does St Anthony accept volunteers? Around how many per year? Appreciate if any mommies can help…

PrincessR, so where is your child going to in 2010?

carrotree,


I m new here, but i have been following this thread on and off. I heard that St Anthony don't take PV , u can call to confirm , and RC need to be 1yr - 2yr ahead. My boy register for pri 1 this yr (just over). I registered him from SA (hubby's sch) -> DeLa (for ballot in 2C, but did not get in)-> Kranji (final).
Really a tiring route :oops: based on this yr, SA under 2C : 80plus places , 130plus register !! ... hope all these help
