Hi! bebe,


I think you should let your girl take her Gr1 exam in yr 2010 with her cc teacher first. Let her join her school ballet enrichment after her Gr1 exam but at the meantime join CCA in the school. It will be too late for her school ballet teacher to enrol her for Gr1 in yr 2010. She can continue Gr2 with a new class in the school after that. You may inform the ballet teacher that she is joining for Gr2.

Hi mummies..thanks for the suggestions..I will let my gal proceed with Grade 1 exam with CC. Not sure if she can pass the exam in the first place.. :nailbite: I will also find out more on the sch ballet classes during the orientation.

Grade 1 RAD is not difficult. Everyone passes, just a matter of the grade.

Mummies, please take note or you may have already read either thr’ letter from VP or in the news that the school will be temp relocated for 2 years (2011 - 2012) to the a holding school (former Victoria School at Kallang Bahru)? Humm… not so convenient leh …

Yes, I reckon that will mean next year 2010 P1 will be in the PM session and my gals would in different sessions next years. Hiaz...thought I can cut down travelling time, or rather more \"me\" time. But on the hindsight, I can spend more time with the gals individually.

I thought the sch has upgraded not long ago (less than 5 yrs)..the new location is not really convenient. I think Cedar Secondary School is currently using that premises. My elder gal will be in P3 and P4..bound to have ECA and other activities. Can I trust her to take bus from there back to TPY? :?

I will definitely let my dd take CCA bus. There are 2 rounds of CCA bus at 3.15pm & at 5.20pm. Just pay $1/- to the uncle when boarding the bus. I give my P3 dd $3/- as emergency money, just in case she has to stay back. She'll give me a call to inform me, then she can use up to $2/- for lunch & snack & $1/- to take the CCA bus.

I did not know that there is CCA bus arrangement...good good..at least I can have alternatives.

Hi

My dd is in the current situation. She's in P1 now and had taken the primary RAD exam early this year. She'll be taking Grade 1 next year. Last year, I spoke to Sandra Ho about enrolling my dd for G1 classes this year but due to the double session, the G1 classes (usu for P2) are conducted in the afternoon which would clash with my dd's school hrs. If you want to contact Sandra, just pm me (it may take some time for her to respond, though). My dd may join Sandra's ballet class next yr but will take the G1 exams at her current ballet school. This yr's G1 ballet class is on Tue & Fri at 1 pm to 2pm i.e. straight after school. The child has to attend classes twice a week the whole year through. Ballet is also not considered part of the CCA (from what I remember). Cheers

Hi Guppy..thanks for the advice. If 2010 P1 is in the PM session, and the G1 classes are in PM, I guess I have no choice but to let my gal continue her lessons with CC until she is G2. I did not know that the school training is so intensive (twice a week, throughout the year) :shock:

Yes, I am surprised that training is twice a week. But I guess, the girls will have better marks. Which CC is your dd in?
