Hi Henry Park parents, any of you know of a good chinese enrichment centre near to Holland or Clementi? Prefer small group intimate classes by ex-teachers (preferably). For primary 5 chinese compo classes. Grateful for any tips. Thanks.

Hi I am not a HPPS parent, but I stay near HPPS hee... Maybe u can consider Eduplus at Ulu Pandan CC? My dd and a niece (who happens to be studying in HPPS) are taking chinese enrichment classes there on weekends. They are in P2 and P3 currently.

Thanks alot, Luanee, for your recommendation. I enrolled my daughter in Eduplus previously…many years ago. But I find the standard there quite high. At that time, my daughter was in kindergarten and couldn’t understand what was going on. Maybe I should try to ask them again. Thanks again, Luanee.

intending to register my son for P3 GEP. FT WORKING. Is there any after school care (walkable distance ) from Henry park.

Hi leeven, there is one at Ghim Moh community club (or maybe it's called Ulu Pandan Community Club) . If you want to walk, it will take about 10 - 15 min. Many children staying around that area walk to and from school. But if it rains, it will be tougher, cos' there isn't any shelter walkway, so need an umbrella.

hope this helps.

Or the child could just take 92. it stops at the bus terminal and it is like 25m from the CC. It is pretty crowded and the bus frequency is quite low. But I suppose there are not many in the PM session taking the bus on their own so the child should not face the problem. But to be on the safe side, and to fufill your duty as a kiasu parent, check it out.

Hi TwaTau,


Thks for sharing. During last yr school tour, the HOD told us tt those from HPPS, will be splitted equally into the 2 classes, and kids from other schools will join in either classes. hmmm... so the 2 classes will re-shuffle again for P5? That's good. Kids do mixed around well and I already heard my DS mentioned names from other class e.g. MT class etc.

He seems to be enjoying himself so far... Just hope the way it is till Feb whereby I know more will be added. Received the family-tree thingy project overview and DS, being a shy boy, will have fun talking to uncles and aunties during CNY .

Can u share if there is anymore fun projects/challenges coming for P4?

IRS perhaps. Depends on your child's defination of fun.

Hi, My Son is in HPPS 4K.


My Child kept having the problem to re-do his project/portfolio/essay.
He has short attention span and does not pay attention. As such, he often misses out the instructions given by teachers on what is expected of the homework. Am i the only parent out there facing this problem? I feel so frustrated over this problem. Just the recent June holiday homework, my child has to re-do his portfolio cos he chose the wrong topic. He also had to typed out another homework of his cos he din't realised it need to be submitted in a typed out format. On top of that, he forgot to do his chinese book reading homework and he did another of his homework in the wrong way too. Its like he did 80% of his school holiday homework wrongly...Aggrrrrrrr....I am getting so frustrated. Imagine having to try to finish few weeks homework in 2 days with only 2 hrs to spare each day...I going crazy...Am i over reacting when i get angry. Can someone share what i can do to help my child overcome this problem? Do anyone encounter such problem with their Child?

You are not over-reacting. The best way is to talk to your child's teachers and explain the problem, and get them to help communicate with you through SMS or email on the h/w that they gave out so that you can guide your child before he does the h/w.

Thanks so much for your suggestion. i guess i will go ahead and email the teachers and hopefully the communication will help me understand how to help my child better. Thanks

Hihi


I will be registering this Friday, under Phase 2A1.
Anyone with past experience who can advise how long the registration process takes? 10min? 15min?
(assuming i have ALL the required documents)

I’m wondering if i can pop in at 8am, quickly register and return to work by 9am.

Thank you!

Hi cody…


Last year for 2A2 we went in the afternoon…first the admin staff will check through your documents, photocopying if required…then you will head to another classroom. Unfortunately there wasnt much of a Q system as everyone else were sitting around the large round table. The staff would once again verify the documents and you can go home after the submission.

It took us maybe around 40mins? that time there was about 6-8 parents in the room. I think 2A1 should be a smaller crowd…
