Anybody here have done balloting before? When will the date be made known to you? With the new scheme kicking in, will SC still get 2 ballot chances?

The absolute priority scheme is of little use, as PRs who have kids already in PH will still gain unfair advantage over SCs. Don’t the pple at MOE pre-empt this loop hole?

MOE may have expected this, but cannot possibly do anything drastic or Singapore will be seen as anti-foreigner...PRs will also be fuming if their younger kids are disallowed to register under phase 1.

There is a Creative Arts Programme catered for the top few classes, conducted by an Art instructor engaged by the school.


Since last year, my boy has been complaining about this instructor’s choice of words used to appraise the art work submitted by the pupils. I spoke to the teacher-in-charge who promised to speak to this instructor who later did toned down.

But this year, he again judged the pupils’ works using words like ugly, lousy, etc.

How would you as a parent respond?

My sons (he is teaching p3 too) have no issue with him but they said he is very strict and a lot of pupils do not like him because of that.

Maybe that is his way of giving constructive criticism?

If that's his method of constructive criticism, then I strongly believe he is not suited to teach children.
