Teck Ghee Primary

[Astee Foo]

Dear all,


Just heard from \"roadside news\" (not reuters...hehe) that the school will be changing its operating hours and kiddos time table will be adjusted. I had not received anything official yet, so probably those parents whom are attending the upcoming P1 Orientation may get first hand information. Please update us once it is official...

Hi Rejoice,
Yes, this camp rang a bell and i had wanted to sign my girl up but she said she does not want to join because need to stay overnight...not sure now that she is more independent, will she like to try

Regards,
Astee

Hi Astee,


Wow, changing school hour! I sure hope it will start later for kids to sleep a bit longer. But then it will mean get off school later too :-(. Hmm, will be interesting what it will be. Hmm orientation will be during school holiday. Likely the school will inform existing students before holiday. Let’s see.

With the new principal this year, do you see any different compare to last year with the previous principal? It seems the previous principal is well-loved by many.


Told my boys about staying overnight at the camp. They did not object to it too badly. I think they do not know what to expect yet since this will be first time for them :-). But one of their friends will be there so I hope that helps :-).

Astee,


Forgot to mention that this year the camp will be at Yishun JC instead of Deyi Sec school. A bit further now. But the enrollment still go through Teck Ghee CC. Closing date on 11 Dec.

Hi Rejoice,


Yes, your wish is mine too, can sleep in later. The current morning calls at 6am is a \"nightmares\" I believe the school will inform all prior to school closure next week till 2012!

Thanks for sharing the camp information and i will check with my children if they are game enough this year.

Mr Tan (ex-principal) and his dedicated staff deserved much credit for building TGPS from scratch and he had created a good reputation of the school among the AMK Zone Pri Schools.

Madam Chua came onboard this year, so it's too early to pass any judgement on her management style or changes to the school curriculum.

Quoting what the new MOE Minister said when he was asked about how soon his new Moral + Maths idea will show result. He said using the example of how a bamboo tree grows \"nothing comes out of the ground for the first four years, but the tree can suddenly reach 27m in the fifth year.\"

So we shall look forward to the TGPS \"Bamboo trees\" reaching the next higher ground under the leadship of the new principal.

Cheers,
astee

Hi Astee,


Well said about the new management style. Yes, it is too early to tell. I have no experience with Mr Tan so won’t be able to compare. Just hope that whatever it is, TGPS still a happy place for the kids.

Dear all,


2 more days to go and we are officially off from school for next 1.5months...:) Wishing all a happy school holiday.

Please remember to share any holiday programs for the kiddos, as this will help to keep the parents sane... :boogie:

祝大家学校假期快乐！

Cheers!

Hi Francoise,


Thank for the info.

Do you know how much their fees is?

I was told that when kids started they ECA, the BASC will not pick the kids after their ECA in school :roll:

Hi mng_kl,

Monthly fees is $300.00. Here's the link to more information:

Really ah? Will not pick the kids after their ECA in school? That would be tough then. You have anyone at home?

Ya... I heard from my nbour - her brother's kid with ananias :roll:

[rejoice137]

Yes two more days and the kids will be unleashed :-). Need to find things to occupied them. Now looking around for interesting program.


Hi Astee, DS brought back report card for term 4 only. Do you know if the teacher will provide report that show the full year performance?

[Astee Foo]

hi Rejoice,


Like the word \"unleashed\"...haha. Yeah, i am also sourcing for some acivities.

I believe the school has changed the reporting system, the P1 do not have report books, unlike my girl time in 2009. Now they just bring back Holistic Assessment Reports to show the results of term 4 test and also performance tasks reviews.

I am a little concerned as i don't have an overview of my DS performance in comparison with his class or level performance. But i guess this may be in line with MOE guideline to do away with Exams for P1/2 comes 2016.

Hi Mummies


My P1 son told me yday there’s no report book. I was shocked. Like Astee, I would like an overview of my son’s performance thru’out the year. I cant rbr his grades for the previous terms. I had asked for copies but I reckon his FT is too busy. She forgot. I wonder why they do not want to give out the report book for P1.
