[quote=\"terry\"]Hi daniel_tancl,

Hmm..better pack some snacks for them for after sch while waiting for the bus.

Any parents sending kids to student care? I tot it will be full hse. But the after sch care seem very empty..

Hi Terry, my DD will be in P1 next yr. Thinking of sending her to student care. You have seen the after sch care and it looks empty?

Hi kp29,
Yes, during open hse..only abt 5-6 students.

So wondering where all the kids are. With working parents and all, i tot will be full like cc.

Maybe crystal can help to answer. Or any parents familiar with this. Hmm..is it becos most the students are in cca or afterclass tuition? I rem tat day was cca day and oso saw some p1 hvg maths tuition in class..[/quote]Oic... I didn't go for the open house and was worrying whether there'll be vacancy in the after-sch care, seems like my worry is unfounded..

[quote=\"chloecube\"]Ngee ann is my ex-school.

near my house, there are only 2 schools , one need to ballot and the percentage of getting in is low, i have no guts to take the risk.
i am not really like the other school.

Ic so far yr kids ever complain about the bus journey? How long yr bus take to fetch yr kid? Wat time she wake up in morning?

hmm, not really, they mentioned a few times that weather is hot.
it can be tough when it rain too.
i will get my maid to take a cab when it rains and during days they have remedial or cca

bus journey home take abt 1.15hr
we drive them to school in the morning. they wake up at 6.30am, we leave the house before 7am and reach school 7.25am.[/quote]your school bus is those big buses or 10 seater mini bus?

[chloecube]

they take public bus, not school bus

DS used to take school bus when he was in P1 but i withdrew him after that

It should be a Wednesday if you saw p1s having maths (neuromaths). Most of the older students would have been having their CCAs then, that’s mostly likely why there are only a few students.

Hi ,

Heard from someone that Ngee Ann has a simple reading test for children going P1 next year on Orientation Day .
Besides reading , what other things our kids will be asked ?

Orientation has reading test? Anyone can confirm this? So stressful har?

For parents who r interested to place their kids in NAPS Student Care, I just called the PIC and was told no more vacancies for next yr. Have to waitlist and to do that, you'll hv to go down in person to fill up the form.


Sigh... now i have problem of finding a suitable student care for my DD...

Hi I think all they test is reading of very simple words. Couldn't get my son to tell me much other than the words were very simple like \"the\" \"he\" etc.

So nothing to worry about - I hear that it is merely to identify those kids who really cannot read perhaps those who do not attend kindy and give them support through the Learning Supporting Programme.

hello,

My DS will be for 2014 P1 intake and planning for TKPS or Ngee Ann.
Both of these come within 1km of my house in marine Drive.

Any parent has any recommendation? Which is better in terms of academic areas, disclipine, character development?
Thanks.
