Hi, it is alright. I know it is quite taxing for some of you to juggle time and resource between family and work. That's why I took some effort to detail the discussion for all to read.
Sigh....I couldn't make it too. The timing jx not right ...if I remember correctly during the mini open house, higher chinese only start frm p4 or so...anyone can knows?magiccastle:
Hi dragonflow, slepland n liling.
Thks so much for the effort . So sori,
Couldn't make it at that timing.
More impt is that our children can benefit from the cca modules.
Really want my girl to have exposure on the non-academic - art, calligraphy , Chinese culture n sport etc .
Slepland
On the higher Chinese , do they offer at lower Pri ?
Thks a lot
As for the Higher Chinese, I was told it is offered at the P5 level. -
LiLing:
Hmm.. I don't really know.. I guess Bekithia is in a better position to answer this question.. :?Dragonflow & Bekithia, thank you very much for the information. I do hope that our kids can adjusted the same way.
How do the kids choose their CCA modules? There are alot of CCAs in YZ... -
Hi Liling,
P1 and P2 children get to try a different cca each term. But the modular ccas are conducted separately and are distinct from the usual ccas for the P3s and above. The modular cca choices were given in a list beginning of the year and each class rotates between the ccas every term.
Eg for P1
Term 1 : Batik Painting, Chinese Brush Painting, Chinese Calligraphy (choose 1)
Term 2: Gymnastics
Term 3: Ethnic Dance, Creative Movement
Term 4: Touch Typing, Basic First Aid, BodyLanguage
Hope this info helps

Sorry, was taken ill last week, having caught it from kids, and did not have time to check out KSP during the time. Been busy this week catching up on work backlog too.
The P and VPs of YZPS seem to like to entertain/engage parents in terms of such dialogues, but sounds like not much different outcome likely.
In terms of the different routines, looks like the kids can adapt to a change for Wed quite well. DD could manage that somehow. But it obviously disrupts routines of the parents if they need to send/fetch the kids.
I’m actually more concerned about the different sessions, but as expected, there is no firm plan and any answer is going to be non-committal – typical.
With DD going to P3 next year and DS going P1, it will mean for 2 more yrs, both of them will have different sessions therefore requiring different arrangements for fetching to and from sch… troublesome… -
The new bus interchange at Serangoon will open on September 3.
The US$18.8 million, fully air-conditioned bus interchange is directly linked to the Circle Line and North East Line Serangoon MRT stations via nex shopping mall.
It is the fifth integrated transport hub, where bus interchanges and MRT stations are seamlessly linked with adjoining commercial developments.
The 7,000-square-meter bus interchange will cut walking time for commuters transferring between bus and MRT to between 2 and 2.5 minutes, down from 3.5 to 4.5 minutes.
It also has barrier-free accessibility features, such as lower counters, dedicated boarding points for passengers in wheelchairs and graduated kerb edges to facilitate easier boarding.
The Land Transport Authority said it will construct more integrated transport hubs in Bedok, Bukit Panjang, Clementi, Hougang Central, Joo Koon, Jurong East, Marina South and Yishun.
Existing integrated transport hubs are located in Ang Mo Kio, Boon Lay, Sengkang and Toa Payoh. -
Thanks for the info on the bus interchange opening on 3 Sep.
It will likely cause some hiccups and chaos – and bad jams – at least initially. Late last year when NEX first opened, the carpark caused nightmares for motorists. Now that buses will be plying the narrow roads on Serangoon Ave 2, it will likely cause jams. Must avoid the road for a while from 3 Sep.
It will also mean that during peak hours that coincide with school report and dismissal time, that traffic could be at gridlock, with temper rising. Parents bringing the students crossing the road there will have to be more patient, to avoid accidents.
It will be good for the upper pri students and staff of the sch who takes bus though, given the added convenience and comfort. -
BTW, not sure how many parents have kids already in YZPS now. The black sch shoes this year are crappy, and broke only 3 mth after use. The sch told parents through the regular letters that the book shop will bring in stock to exchange for the broken ones, but the book shop apparently was quite reluctant to do so when the stock finally arrived a month ago.
We managed to get a pair changed for DD, and sch was unwilling to change a bigger size one… Think might leave for DS if it’s too tight for DD…
Anyone still has the old broken shoes should still try to get them changed. -
With the school holiday around the corner, what activities have you planned?
I will be bringing my kids to Beijing for a week or so. It will be free and easy and we still have not decided on the spots to visit. They are quite familiar with the city being lived there for quite a long while. We will probably bring them back to re-visit those places they may have forgotten now. -

Got my girl a pair of black school shoe from Bata last year when the book shop did not have her size. Bata's shoes are pretty good, it can last till now. Plan to get a new pair from the book shop after this Sept holiday. Are the new shoes better than before?BTW, not sure how many parents have kids already in YZPS now.

We got her a pair at Bata too, after the school's one gave way in Mar/Apr. Not sure about the new one yet, as DD hasn't worn it yet. Her legs grow quickly and while we had preferred to change to one size bigger given that there has been a 4-mth wait, the bookshop was adamant that they will only exchange size for size (obviously hoping that the students will outgrow the size and will have to buy another pair even if the shoes has not broken yet...).

What we plan to do is to let DS wears them when he goes to P1 next year... So will only know whether it will last come next year
