Jennifer:

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?

All the best to them. Registration numbers seem higher than last year.

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

Hi Scary,


Is your friend registering under phase 2C staying within 1 km? What is his/her second choice?

is studying in pei hwa reallly stressssful?? and success is phase 2c is slim even if we stay inside 1km?? pls advise … i am soooo worried… i have 3 kids. my eldest will join balotting end of this month… thank u

PH stress level seems to be manageable compared to other top schools. This year seems to be extremely competitive. Anyone knows how many places reserved for 2B? Agree that this exercise is an extremely stressful one, even for those staying within 1 km. Anything beyond 1 km no chance to ballot at all.

Maykenth,


I m in the same situation as you and I have 3 kids too! Eldest one will be registering end of this mth too. Are you staying near PH? U must chk and ensure it’s within 1 km.
