WOW! That's stunning! I'm always very respectful of non-Chinese students taking Chinese as a 2nd language. It's really tough and requires lots of hardwork on the entire family.

Berries is great for pre-schoolers and Primary schools up to P2. I personally feel that Molin provides a more comprehensive treatment of Chinese for P3 and above, and it doesn't hurt to start earlier.

At last someone responded, I thought there is no Kiasu parents here for CHIJ Katong. My DD will be starting Pri 1 in 2010, I am also interested in PV at the school. Could you care to explain more abt it and also how do you find the sch so far.

Hi Poolster,

Thanks for the reply !
Actually I plan to do PV in the school to secure admission for my daughter for P1...I have been told the only duties is Traffic Safety Control. Actually I am a working mom and will be trying to squeeze PV with my job, but it may not be possible from monday to friday lah...was looking for other duties as well...but looks like there are no other choices given....

Anybody got anything to share?

Thats very encouraging, I just hope that she will do well in chinese, cause that is the only subject, she can bluff me :roll: . She has also home tuition besides berries. Just drilling her up, to up keep with the Native speaking children.

CHIJ Katong is one option for registering my daughter…anybody like to tell me if is a good school? Seems like they go to Phase 2C. Is that because is not a popular school? Not very good academic? Just wondering because even in this forum not a lot said about that school

Thanks and any info is appreciated!
