Secondary School Open House 2011

25hourmaid:

I think we should not confuse parents here with Open House for JCs. This thread is for P6 Parents who are interested in the Open House of Secondary Schools.

Yup, agree with 25hrmaid. I called Victoria School. I was told that the date for their OH is yet to be confirmed and once confirmed will be update on their website.

NJC Open House is from 13-15 April. Their website says need to register by 6th April. Too bad, I saw too late. Well I'm going down today to take a chance. Hope they allow me into their 'High School Tour'

You are most welcome. I suspect a lot of schools tend to hold their Open House on the same day so as to force the parents to decide which schools they want to go to for the Open House and which schools to apply DSA for. It's been like that for years, usually it is the last two Saturdays of May, that's when they start the DSA procedure and hold the Open House and that's where they all try to get the limited attention of the P6 Parents.

Hi maid,

We are not doing DSA but will select one or two to go for open house and heard this will motivate the children if they like that school.

Same here Brenda..intention is to take a look at school environment, current students/teachers mix, hope some exposure now can influence the kind of school kid would like to set their mind in and work towards the goal aka COP

Yes, it is true. Attending Open House is VERY, VERY important to motivate the child. Nothing beats visiting the school, talking to the students/teachers there to get a real 'feel' of the place, been there, done that! :love:

But to me, listening to the Principal's Talk is equally important, and that's where the clash lies in most schools, it is a matter of timing for the Principal's Talk.
