Hi Karmeleon, your boys are in which grade? Care to share more abt the school? The P1 orientation os on 21 Nov.

My boys r in p4 & p6. What do you want to know?

The p1 trs are generally v good w the v young.

Hi, I have a boy in P2.

[Blessedmum]

wow... hello all CHS mummies. My son is a fidgeter....cannot stop moving. A little worried abt him. Good th hear that the teachers are good!


Well...some questions:

1) How to arrange for school bus service? Is there a appointed school bus service provider from CHS?
2) Do they need to stay back after school for P1s?
3) What are the optional classes they can take? Some schools offer ballet, gymnastic, etc

So many questions..... dunno where to start too...

Thanks!

So funny - those are questions all covered in the P1 orientation forms.
1) student handbook would have info. orientation forms too.
2) stay back? maybe. often there is 1 day for enrichment (can opt out)
3) optional classes - answered in point 2. *hehe* Do note that in CHS, some CCAs are available from P1 onwards, esp the performing CCas.

Based on my memory, the school's orientation was very well organised. I was given a folder with all the necessary forms to be filled and booklist. So, remembering your son's birth cert no. and bank acc no. to giro school fees wld b helpful. Having a valid email address and handphone no. wld help a lot as the school send important info thru these means(though they wld give hard copy to the boys to bring home, but u noe the boys cld b forgetful n leave it in school.)


In the canteen, there were enrichment centres offering Hanyu pinyin course for the preparation to P1, vendors for the name tags, transport and school uniform were oso there. I bought the school uniform, textbooks n stationery from the school bookshop on the same day.

As for the CCAs, the forms wld b distributed on the first week of school. But, just be prepared that the types of CCA the P1s can join are limited.

Hope this helps. :lol:

Nowadays, they send alot of announcements/reminders via SMS too. And there's the school website as well for you to check (you can subscribe to feeds to be notified of updates to the website)
