If you have received the orientation letter, you should be able to see the class allocated on thee address label on the envelope.. You should see her name then at the far end, P1_.


The school uniform will be available from the school bookshop only... Everyday During their opening hours.

I only remember being in school on the first day. The children will go to their respective classes while the parents stay in the hall for briefing by the department heads. We only get to see them during the recess break. I dun remember being there on the 2nd or 3rd day.

thanks for your reply. There's no address label per se. It was the type with a clear window showing the child's name and address as shown on carbon copy, written by the parent during the p1 registration.

If we won't know the \"house\" until orientation then I guess it is futile to get the uniform first...

Thanks for the info.

I think you’ll receive your letter regarding the orientation nearer to date… You’ll see your child’s class and his/her register number on the top of her name on the address label. Last year, we received the letter about 10 days before the orientation.

The bookshops will remain open for many days/weeks during the school holidays. You will be given the opening hours… No hurry to get your school supplies on orientation day.

2 down, 1 to go .....


DS is enjoying a break this evening. He is playing wii now

Got to know about the "2 pencil" restriction in the P2 SA2. Does anyone know the logic here?


Shouldn’t the kids be spending their time doing and checking the paper instead of having to worry about sharpening their pencils?

Does anyone know if this is a new initiative by MOE? Cos I’m really very curious bat this restriction. Why should there be restrictions in stationery in the first place?

[tankee]

DS said his teacher told them that the stationary arrangement is to prevent them from wasting time playing with their pencil box.


IMHO, 1 pencil is more than enough for 1 P2 SA paper. The second is a spare.

hi,


anyone knows if parents are allowed to accompany p1 students on the first 2-3 days of school?

when will we be notified of their classes? during orientation or by mail before that?

I have 2 kids who went thru Tao Nan and a 3rd one P1 coming next. For the 2 earlier kids, for the first one, we could not get into the school at all. All parents hang out outside the gate. For the second one, the parents attended a talk at the hall. so I didnt even get a chance to see the child again in the class. But at least I was in the school premises. But it seems that Tao Nan is very unlikely to let u go the child's class at all !

[leow]

Has Tao Nan started the program of not having exams for P1 ?

[tankee]

During my time, we were "sent" to our children’s classroom after the briefing in the hall, to see the classroom and fill up forms. The children were not in the classroom then.
