Ngee Ann Primary

[yeoh_tt]

Dear KSPs,


Hi, I am sending my son to Ngee Ann Primary next year. I am looking for a nanny/caregiver to ferry my son from school back home/ to his enrichment classes from mon- fri. Since there is no one at home so I also need the caregiver to keep him company and make sure he does his homework till I return home from work. The estimated hours are from 1:30pm- 6:00pm (i.e. about 4.5 hours) per day, 5 days a week. I would prefer an english speaking lady.

If you are a stay at home mommy and is sending your children to NAP as well, I won't mind picking up my son from your home (i.e. instead of staying at my place).

Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested.

Thank you in advance.

Hello parents.

My daughter will be in Primary 1 in year 2012.
From the letter, it was stated that from 17th to 20th is the period for purchase of books, uniforms, etc... there is a time slot given for filling up the authorization forms too.
One thing I am puzzled... it was stated on the letter that parents are not allowed to be in the school on the first day of school or subsequent days! Is this normal for other schools as well? But we will be worried sick since it is a totally new environment for her? any comments, parents? thanks

Hi jocekoh

Yes, parents are asked not to be in the school on the first day. That’s why the school conducts orientation. During the orientation, you will see how it will be on the first day of the school. Don’t worry, there is parents volunteers and buddies to guide your child during the first few days. Even recess parents are not allowed. I have had gone through, now my boy is P4.

My DD will be in P1 next yr in Ngee Ann too. i got a son who is also in that school, he is in P3 this yr.Jocekoh, dun worry, as pingatot mentioned, your child will be assigned with a P5 student to help guide ur kid for the first 2 weeks. she will be taught where to buy food and how to go abt it. i heard P1 and P2 are not allow to bring HP to school, if anything, they can go to general ofc (level 1) to use to phone or \"borrow\" $ if she loses her wallet or forget to bring $ to school. else, there is also a public phone near the canteen, but always long Q according to my son..

hey, wonder if ur daughter will be in the same class as mine

My girl will also be in P1 next year. I noe that they are single session but any idea exactly the school hours.


She will be taking the bus transport. $ 150 a month! I just hope she dont have to wake up like 5 am to go to school.

but if no one is fetching her, i guess school bus is the best alternative
wait till she is older, train her to take public bus back
by then, she will have her CCA and remedial, styaing in school will increase and taking school bus will not be feasible as there will be extra charges per trip

Hi, my son will be in P1 next year & one of the books to be brought on the 1st day is pupils Diary 2012. I was packing the bag & notice that it was "NFY" on the booklist. Can anyone advise what it means? Just realize it is to late to buy now.

[Musings]

Hi my son also in P1 next year. I dont know what NFY meabs but the bookshop said it wasnt available yet when I bought the books. Good thing the form teacher mention to bring it then I recall I didnt have that yet. So bought on orientation day. Should be fine - should be able to buy on first day.
