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?

Yes. You know me? I was in the commerce stream 1987 to 1988. Your username is your initials? Then I know who you are- live near Mt Faber. :celebrate:

#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.

JMHO

No lah! Saw a user by the name of \"Jennifer\" in this forum. Went in to check your profile and wanted to confirm it was you. Noticed that you have been active in this thread, and so, trying my luck.

My son just got in to Radin Mas and will be in P1 next year. His childcare centre is arranging a field trip to Pei Hwa next month.

Thinking of buying a trolley bag for my girl (P1 next yr). Can anyone advice me the pros and cons of it.

You need to find out which floor your daughter's classroom will be at. Its no joke carrying the trolley bag up to 3rd/4th/5th floor. Btw, their hall is at level 4. Every day, upon arrival, they are suppose to assemble there.
