Anderson Primary

Dear parents,


Not sure if you read this case which first appeared in TNP last week about a bullying case (in another primary school) (not APS). The case is also carried in AsiaOne

:sad: I feel very sad for the boy and his family, and I hope our children do not have to face such situation. The least we can do, as parents, is to talk more with our children, find out how their day had been, and encourage them to share their fears and worries with us. I'm not saying I do best, but I try ....

It's very distressing, when such things happen.

My boy faced a bullying incident in school last month (from a fellow P1) - but that has since been resolved after we highlighted it to the form teacher. Kudos to the form teacher for taking quick action and working closely with the form teacher of the bully from another class.

If it happens in P1, I dont think u can blame it on the school. But if upper pri is bullying the lower pri, then its better to let the school know. So far my 2 sons are ok with their classmates, even befriend some upper pri kids from their CCA.

My Ds did not like guzheng and wants to try out brass band.
See how it goes.....I am open to let him try out as many as he wants since kids are kids they will not know what it is like till they really hand on

I believe that parents and the teachers/school need to work together, and schools/teachers need to respond appropriately and give attention when the children surface any concerns or complaints about bullying :?: .

If ignored and unattended and bullying continues, it will leave a dent on the child's self esteem and self-worth.

So I am glad the form teacher took quick action the other time. :grphug:

The band master is nice and advised today the lower primary are being exposed to music and different things.

Hi LYL10,

Ds enjoys it coz he plays drum at home...:) So, anything that makes noise, with rhythm will make him happy! We are just fulfilling his wishes to play in the band...but so far, he enjoys it

Happy for him too coz every Thursday morning, he can 'siam' extra tutorial at home, by gg for this CCA :rotflmao:
