Hi,

I new Feebies here, my gal will be P1 next year.
Stress I stay near kallang, which i thk is more than 2km from my place to this sch.

Do you hv any advise.

[mum2two]

dun worry. this school doesnt need any balloting for all phases. can enter easily.


parents with p1 students, hows the homework load in the school?
any parents with weak students in this school?

mum2two,

Is ur girl in CCPS now? The school have remedial classes for weak student and they start on the 2nd and 3rd week after school term starts.

jng2303,
for the past years statistic, you can enter CCPS at all phases so it is quite ok.

Anyone of ur girl in P1 is taught by Mrs Sung?

Hi J2mum, your girl was taught by Mrs Sung in P1. Mine is. How is she like?

[J2mum]

psmissyou,

she is a great teacher but she is strict with the kids.

[psmissyou]

Oh! How’s strict is Mrs Sung? How about the ML teacher Dong 老师?


My DH went for the parents briefing session and Mrs Sung informed that the school will be taking a soft and paced-out approach. However, I find that there is still quite a bit of homework and I do find the 画图 for the ML homework is a bit redundant. The girls are to copy, draw & color 8 to 16 pictures from the ML textbook. Not too sure the reason for it.

[J2mum]

Good and neat handwriting. Neat work etc…

My DD ML teacher is not Dong Lao Shi and I dun rbr she did what ur girl did when she is in P1.

Do prepare ur girl in creative writing as the CW will start after mid year break.

Hi,


My mum is staying around Macpherson estate. Should i do a declaration on my mum being the caregiver, so that i can register my ger in Canossa Pri ? Or i dun need to do the declaration as i read that no balloting is required for this school, so as to say, one is sure to get a place in the sch if one register there ?

Please advice, thanks !

african Violet,


It is true that for the past few years, there is no balloting fear for Canossa Convent Pri but why take the risk? If declaration is not too a hassle, I suggest u shld go ahead with the declaration before registration.

Hi J2mum,


Thanks for your advice.

I also have another problem which is giving me a headache. Maybe you can help me to make a wise decision

As i am a former student from Cedar Girls Pri Sch (it was still not a mix sch during my time there), i will have priority in phase 2 something (sori still not sure about the diff phases) but I do not know whether i should put my ger in Cedar / Canossa as i hardly see any comment regarding Cedar Pri. If you will in my shoe, will you consider Cedar / Canossa ? BTW, is Canossa affiliated with any Sec sch ?
