Usu the more MATURE, higher EQ and obedient kids will be chosen for bigger role.

Anyway, power comes with HEAVY responsibility. My child dun lik to be prefect or class monitor. Why? becos must go early, must do duty etc etc no time to play and chit chat with frens around. haha..... no need to bother too much.
Just let the kid enjoy fun in pri sch like have longer play time than prefect during recess, run away from prefect's chase after recess etc etc.... i thought this is some cute and fun memories for a childhood .
The some kids who are Mini adults love to go on stage, ask students to Q up in twos. Fingers on your lips etc etc.

Maybe, u can write in direct to the Principal and VPs to suggest n raise the idea

You are right to say that some kids don't want to become a prefect. They can't play with friends during recess. My boy told me that usually the kids don't even bother when the prefects asked them not to run. Maybe the lower pri prefects are unable to handle the upper pri kids. Prefects are usually recommended by teachers. Most parents are concern of their kids' results not whether they become prefects.

That’s the problem. Some kids do not like to be prefects because of the reasons mentioned above. Teachers chose them. They will not do a good job because it is not their will. These slackened prefects can be seen in P5 and P6 level.


It will be different perspective if the application for prefect is transparent and open to all students.

Those who are keen will make an effort to write testimonies and preparing for interviews. If chosen, these kids will give their full responsibilities.

With this system, teachers will be able to protect themselves. Noone is going to point finger ‘who chose this boy/girl become a prefect?’ if the prefects are not up to expectations.

Interviewing & preparing testimonies take up a lot of time. The teacher's priority is to teach & student's priority is to learn. At this young age, most kids are not keen to become prefects. Teachers are in the best position to recommend & you should leave it to the school. If you are keen to let
your child to become a prefect, you could inform the teacher on parent-teacher meeting day. You should put up your proposal to the school instead of posting on KSP.

One girl at P4 withdrew because moved to Pasir Ris. The next day, a boy from North Vista came to take her place. That’s pretty fast.


Preparing testimonies are kid’s job. A panel of 4 teachers from each level representative to do all the interviews. A capable person who is interested in climbing corporate ladder will find this is EASY job. WORK SMART not WORK HARD.

Time table 2013 is out in the website.


School starts 7:40am, reach sch by 7:30am. Dismissal 1:50pm with 3 recesses.
Next yr my kid will be in the critical year, everyday will dismiss at 4:15pm. This is affecting all the enrichment classes.

Can anyone understand the Mon-Fri timetable?


http://www.rivervalepri.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=1173681

The school website stated that school ends at 1.50pm. However in the table 1.25-1.50pm is lunch for P6. Does it mean the child have to settle lunch in school if there is no remedial? Or they can leave school at 1.25pm on Wed and Fri when there is no redemial for days like Wed and Fri.

[friendship]

I don’t understand the time table as well. But looking at P5 and P6 time table, the dismissal time looks like 415pm everyday.


May be the plan is not fixed yet. It is just a rough idea which is good. So that people like me will plan all external enrichment either in the evening or night or weekend liao.
