Hi Parents,


From P1 orientation, I have this Weekend Activities 2012 booklet, I wish to register Math for my DS (Sat, 11:30am-13:00pm), but understand the school have S&D/Basketball on Sat morning, no matter compulsory or not, if I want to take the S&D, means I can't go for Math? What's the point then to have this booklet? Any parents have the same problem? Thanks!

Yes i am having the same problem too and that is y i am asking if anyone confirm the S&D and basketball are confirmed compulsory or not as i want to sign my girl up for one of the weekend activity which falls on Sat.

I went to register for the weekend class under the alumni this week and I checked about the payment issue if the timing clashes with the basketball and speech and drama. The lady told me register when school reopens as the basketball and speech and drama timing are not out yet AND they are compulsory as this is under MOE directive. At least no need to speculate anymore. They are compulsory. I will have to register the weekend class after first week of school. Hopefully it will not affect her afternoon swimming lesson

re recess

ok will let him try.

re sat basketball n speech drama
if MOE directives, then really strange for school to give us the alumni activities booklet.

if got swimming, i will like to sign up too.

guess we will have to wait for surprise official word in jan.

btw, didn’t we hand in the student data sheet at orientation? mine kinda missing… dun remember if handed in or. . .

U can check personally to confirm with them whether they have received the form from u during Mon- Fri, the admin staffs are working during this days though is a school holiday.

I would also like to ask those mummies whose kids in P3 and above in Nan Chiau, is there a compulsory swimming for all students? what happens if a child has already started learning swimming at 5 years old and still continuing swimming, cna he or she be exempted? my fren whose son in another primary school, can be exempted from swimming cos he is still learning swimming. my fren told me she has asked her son school can be allowed as she dislike the idea of her son learning swimming in school as he will have one big bag of swimming items(towels, soaps etc) plus his big school bag + any files if he has to happen to bring that day. she says too heavy for the kids and teachers will frown upon the parents if they purposely come and take the swimming stuff. She told me she really pity those kids who have to take one big bagful. i agree with her cos when my girl goes for swimming during weekends, already one big bag liao

DS1 will b in P3 next year but we started his swimming lessons this year. Heard from older NCPS kids that they don't hv swim lessons. Not sure abt future but if need to, then DS1 can just go & hv fun lah.

i hope the school do not have any swimming classes at all cos it seems the norm now that most schools have swimming classes before or after school. cross my fingers that nothing will change
