[quote]My only girl is going on P1 to P2 in Kellock. I notice that the school have her bring back lots of enrichment activities brochures when in P1. My older p4 boy in a boy's school don't get so much.


Being a P1 girl, she's like wanting to try, do and have all these stuff ... a little bit distracting sometimes.

Is this normal for Kellock and will it continue in P2 onwards? Anyone knows?

Yes, this is normal for Kellock. I agree so many after-school enrichment activities are quite unnecessary at P1-P2. It is quite tiring for the girls, esp in P1, when they are just getting used to longer school days.

You can choose not to sign up for the activities. Although your dd may feel a bit disappointed initially, she will soon forget the feeling. Believe me, you will not deprive her of any \"valuable experience\" in life by not signing up for after-school enrichment activities in P1-P2.[/quote]
Thanks nansk. Guess I just have to manage the girl's expectations ...

Hi


May I know if a parent is allowed to follow the child on the school bus on the first two days?

Thanks

[LittlePrinz]

Btw, may I also know what time does the children who are taking the school bus usually reach home? I'm very worried that dd will be starving by the time they are released at 1.30pm.


Any advice will be much appreciated

hi


may i know how’s the traffic like at gate C in the morning? I am thinking of sending my girl to school just slightly before 7 am.

also, i noticed the road is quite narrow to u-turn to gate C. Can do a 3-pt-turn or must i drive round the church?

Thanks.

I don't think the parents are allowed on the bus. You may follow the bus in a taxi, though.

I'm very worried that dd will be starving by the time they are released at 1.30pm[/quote]My dd returns home at 2 pm on Mon-Thu and 4:10 pm on Fri. She doesn't eat much during her recess (more keen on playing), so she finishes her lunch box on the bus back home. You may want to pack a little something for your child to have after school.

I am not aware of any \"education rating\" published by MoE.

Hi All,


Would be evaluating to register with CHIJ (Kellock) this year so would like to check out the following:

(1) Does the school start the class late? I notice that a school bus arrive at my place is at 7am. (Bt Merah)

(2) Generally how is the school term hours like? I heard that Friday it ends very late like 4pm. Is it due to ECA session?

(3) When will the students be offer to take Higher Chinese? If being offer, would the school test them on Normal Chinese or Higher Chinese in CA & SA session?

(4) Does the school bus provides additional service for students that happened to stay back due to remedial or ECA?

(5) Anyone if have the school bus operator contact can PM me. Greatly appreciated.
