Hi Wiselyn


so u applied under phase 2c not 2c supp?

Yes I applied under 2c. And seriously don't think school will 'mark' down children base on which phase they are registered

Agree that it could be mail merge issues.

And as a parent of a current P1 student of PLVPS, let me assure u that there is no 'marking' culture in this school.. Or most schools in singapore for that matter.
My earlier postings I did mention that sometimes this school has some minor administrative hiccups.. And this is one of them. Other minor hiccups include faulty microphones, AV equipment not cooperating, etc.. Hahahahahah.
But hey.. Take it in good stride.. Personally I like these imperfections. I will be worried if the school is too perfect and everything goes as planned every time. But that's juz me ah.

Just sharing, my hubby told me he overheard a mother was asking another mother why the school didnt put the children together according to the same surname. Guess why she made that kind of remark ? It just because she is not comfortable her child to mix around other racial. The other mother actually agreed with her. Both of them were not locals by the way. Luckily i did not see those two parents in my son’s class.

Sad. But… Let’s look back at our school days. Back then in our circle of friends we have Ramoo, Ali, Ming Soon and Donald. We do not care about their surnames. In the canteen, I share the same table with everyone else… Happily eating my nasi lemak while they eat their Chee Chong Fun and chicken rice and brought-from-home food. In the field we play catching with each other… We hug each other when we score goals. All these activities we do together without looking at surnames or colours of our skin, eyes or even hair.

Let such parents be. They can have such mindsets but once their kids are in school, kids will be kids. Kids are all ‘colour-blind’. And if that is not enough, I have strong faith in our school. Having kids from various backgrounds and also having quite a number of international kids in our school, our kids will be equipped with the good foundation of understanding and embracing people without any discrimination.

Just a guess, maybe the two ladies children have the same surname and if group by surname then they can go same class.

My boy is the smallest in his class during orientation. In fact when Mr Chua saw him some time back and I told him my son is joining next year.. he was shocked.

I got him the Deuter Genuis Bag.. take the S size will do. I brought my daughter's file which she used in Pri 1 to try it on the bag and it fits nicely in the S size.

Just to add.. think Deuter came up with an inproved version.. the Deuter Smart Series. Same price as the Genius.. around $109 if I'm not mistaken.
