Hi parents,


I am a little overwhelmed by the number of forms for enrichment classes conducted in school. May I know whether any parents had signed up for your kids before and could you share your experiences, please? TIA.

just choose what you need or what interest you

the variety available is truly very overwhelming if this is the first time going through it, after a while you will ignore those not of interest to you / your child

I see. Thanks, vk2010!

I have sorted them according to submission dates, and will discuss with my dd these two days and then decide.

She is very interested in the Shanghai Immersion Programme. Have your kid gone for that before?

for immersion program overseas, bear in mind when is it done because of the the season / weather in China


best time is summer / autumn season so that the kids will have less to adjust, on top of having to adjust to a new schooling environment

best year to go is Pri 5 (more independent compared to pri 4), no PSLE pressure yet, or go after PSLE, totally no worry on catching up with school work after return to SG

besides China, they also have immersion in Brunei

and new zealand and india too (if I remember correctly, these 2 were started just last year). I think, if same like last year, the teacher should be giving you a list of all the immersions for the year with their timings and you indicate the ones that you are interested in.

Thanks for your info, vk2010 and Mvm. I will take note. So far, she's received the Shanghai one, to be conducted in March.

Following up on the Shanghai immersion programme.


I think the P4 students got their forms today and need to submit them in by 13 Jan 2012. 40 will be selected to go after an interview. This will include a home-stay as well.

My current thoughts …

(a) P4 seems a little too young for them to venture out especially on a home-stay. Not sure if the home-stay will be a 1 NYPS student to 1 family. If so, my DS will freak out for sure.

(b) March temperature in Shanghai will be between 5-13 degrees? Too cold?

Its a technology immersion programme - just what is covered, I am not too sure

Can any of the experienced mummies and daddies please advise and provide your own or your DS DD experiences?

Many thanks!

My DS is also keen on the Shanghai program since he’s very interested in Science and Technology, I’m a bit worried but also thought it’s a rare opportunity…anybody’s DS or DD signing up?

Huh? my dd never show me about Shanghai program, only some papers, like 'Starquest A Star Science Labs', '小四华文创意思维写作，理解与口试课' enrichment class.
