Hi parents,

Any of yr girls have problem in understanding Sci subject-Chemistry / Bio/ Physics?
Any advise how to improve!
Thanks.

I personally feel that buying the textbook instead of the CD-rom is better. The textbook is more detailed than the cd.
For chem and bio, you must take down notes and take lab experiments seriously.
I haven't taken physics, but i've tried it before and it's just like math. For this topic, practise really makes perfect. Try to do more physic questions to improve.

Sorry cant advise.
St Nicks' loads of h/wk plus long hours CCA, can't really squeeze time for tuition.
Try approach teachers for help.

[quote=\"Crester\"]St Nicks has declared 8th Feb as Day -Off ! :rahrah:

Any parents can verify that ?
Thank you.

Yes, that is correct. This is a day-off to celebrate good 'O'level results.

Thank you for the confirmation!
:congrats: ST NICKS!
Btw,looking forward to moving back to the new campus in AMK this end May, parents?
Heard its going to be a big campus.[/quote]looking forward to everything except traffic congestion - primary and secondary school students trying to reach school before 7:20am - that's a big nightmare! Hope that the mgt is alert enough to pre-empt this early enough to ensure that traffic flow is smooth on the first day of sem 2. Keeping my fingers cross - and really hope that the new P has this common sense foresight as well.

Hi Try,

I understand yr concerns and worries abt THE FIRST DAY when Term 3 starts, where SNG functions as ONE big family again in the enormous new campus.

The upgrading of the school does not include expansion of the street along AMK Ave 4. This is under URA and not possible to open up more lanes for traffic.

Fear not, I’m sure the ever enthusiastic SNG Parent Support Team(Pri & Sec) together with school’s mgt team and PV will be out in full force to regulate the traffic situation.
In fact, there will be existing and new PV helping Pri pupils alight’g from cars along St 13 daily when sch starts in July. Kudos to these parents helpers as Pri girls take a while to alight from cars. I only see such help in St Nicks.

SNG is a Full Sch( Pri & Sec), as such it’s impossible to solve the traffic situation entirely. Other Schs have similar traffic prob.

All we can do as parents is exercise a little more patience. After all, Safety of our children is utmost importantance.

Thank you.

I agree that safety is of utmost importance. However, mgt should remember that if they themselves are not able to solve the traffic woes, they should inform the teachers not to penalise the children for the first week or so(if they are going to be late due to terrible traffic), until all can get the hang of the traffic situation. Sometimes, it is not the fault of the child, but the parent who cause a child to be late.

Frankly, there are schools with similar population size(full schools or popular schools with 2600++ students, with less gates for students to enter from) which are able to have smooth traffic flow. It all boils down to how much foresight or how proactive the mgt is.
