I really hope that Teck Ghee will not need balloting at Phase 2C this year. Noticed many new blocks around the area. I am outside 1 km. If my DD gets confirmed next week, I'll be able to network with you guys

Hello Grain,


Is your kid due for the upcoming P1 registration or still a few years ahead?

The reason why i am asking is if you have the chance to visit the school personally, you will have a better feel of the environment and students behavior.

Beside academic achievement, the school has a holistic program that works toward grooming the child to be a useful citizen to the society. There are different programs for different levels. My girl has attended some leadership training camp which helps her to become a better organiser. As for Public Speaking, i am not sure of the program, so cannot advice on that.

Recently MOE organised a Parenting forum and TGPS was the host of the event. If you would like to know more about School approaches, may i introduce you to read the link and hope it gives you an insight of the school.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I m thinking of sending my kid to TGPS. May I seek comments/advice on the current school's culture and general students' behavior? Does the school focus more on academic results or more on character building/ value system? Or leave it to the students/parents themselves? Heard that the school has programs to train students for public speaking. Is it true? Would it be tough on kids who are naturally shy n introvert?

Hehe. Another score for Astee. Haha


Hi Grain,
Not sure if this is what you are referring to but during term 3, the school will conduct enrichedment classes for math and English. The English enrichedment is often focus on speech and drama. This year at P2, the school engages Drama Arts Ltd to teach a course on Readers Theatre that focus on their oral skill as well as drama skill.

Besides academic enrichment, the school also often organize some fun event, like the mooncake festival celebration and parent and child rollerblading event.

Hi Astee,
Will you be going to the rollerblading event on 3 Sept? I am thinking of signing up with DS since both of us do not know how to blade yet. Haha

Hi Rejoice,


Wow..i should be top on scoreboard since i am the most kpo one..hehe. Yes, you brought up a good point too on the Readers Theatre which i missed out...see i told you - \"you are a good advisor too!\"

I saw the Inline skate program this Monday but have to give it a miss because we are taking a short oversea trip and it covers sunday till wednesday. I had feedback to the SFE Co-ordinator that one day to learn inline skate is not enough, they should do like a 2-3 days thing... :boogie: She said if responses is good, they may consider for next holiday. I will keep my calendar for that, if it comes true.

TGIF and have a great weekend with your family.

Cheers,
astee

Hi Astee,


Haha. It was just happened that I was filling up the form for the Reader’s Theater. Haha.

Wow, good to have a short holiday. But my DS has Guzheng workshop that afternoon so we can’t go anywhere. Haha. Might as well go have fun in the morning. Would be nice if they can organize a longer lesson. Will keep my calendar open for that too.

Yes TGIF. Time to rest and have fun too.

Cheers

Tomorrow is the start of P1 phase 2C registration. All the best to all daddies and mummies who are registering for their DS and DD tomorrow.

Hi Rejoice,


I just picked up my girl and saw the whiteboard update on balance vancacies for P1 registration = 50 as at 30 July 2012, 2pm.

Registration is not based on first-come-first-confirmed. If numbers exceeded the available places for this phase, then there might be balloting for Phase 2C.

Good luck to all parents registering these 3 days.

Cheers,
astee

Wow only 50 left from 146 on day one! TGPS sure getting popular. That is a good sign :-). But I sure hope there are enough space for the kids that need them.


All the best to all.

Rejoice.

Just check MOE site, 111 registered today. So left with only 35 vacancies. Quite likely a balloting in 2C supplement if any :-).
