Hi all 2013 Primary 1 parents. (Welcome to have parents of other level joining in as well.) My name is Joseph and my DD is going into primary 1 next year. So far, we have 2 outing and am glad that the kids are comfortable with one another. For the next 8 weeks, we have come out with weekly outing schedule that we hope it will be fun and interactive for the kids. I hope that you are able to join us. The first one would be this Sat (23/Sep 4.30pm) where we will do a Photography-Treasure-hunt at the botanical garden. Parents must accompany your kids as this program is not run by commercial entity. For good fun, we will sponsor small prizes. Please RSVP @ 97405553 with your contact and I will give you more information as to where to meet.


Objective: Have FUN & get to know friends.
Learning point: Being Meticulous and Observant.
Fact Learning: Nature & Science
Please bring a camera for your child and be prepared not to yell at her if your child dropped it.

Have a good week ahead.

Cheers
Joseph

Does anyone know how the school plans to celebrate Children’s Day next Thursday? Will there be any lessons?

Hi jacsplace,

not sure since there is no official announcement yet. Guess it should be same as before i.e. some lessons before recess, concert after recess followed by early dismissal.

Thanks ponyo.

Hello parents.

Info from transport Company, they had ceased the service for the student care. Is this confirmed? Any idea if the student care has any alternative transport arrangement? Kindly advise.

Should I bring my daughter along for the orientation?

Yes, pls bring your daughter along.

She'll get to know who are her new Primary 1 Form teacher(s), get to know who are her new classmates, introduce herself to rest of her classmates. Your daughter will get to familiarize herself with her new school premises compound / environment - like know where to go to the toilet, go to canteen buy food / drinks, pay $, check whether canteen operator pay her back correct $ change, know where to go to bookshop buy books, stationery, etc.

While your child is inside the classroom, Principal will brief parents sitting inside the hall - what to expect, when new Term start January 2013 P1. After briefing, you may go down your child's classroom, collect back your child, greet \"Hello\" to your child's new P1 form teacher(s).

:thankyou:

Has SMPS announced the results of the first GEP selection test? I have not received any letter. Just wondering if they only inform those who pass.

[watchthewaves]

I don’t know about SMPS directly, but from another school, letters were given out last week to students who have been selected to go for the next round selection test.


So I think likely that the girls going for the next round have already been informed. Have you asked your daughter whether she’s aware of the teacher giving out letters to some classmates? Or whether her friends in other classes know of it?

[jacsplace]

Yes, I’ve asked her and she says nobody has been told anything and nothing has been given out.
