Hi everyone…


Would like to keep in touch with parents of kids who are currently in P3 RVPS, to share tips, advice, resources to help our kids survive primary school. Do let me know if you are keen…

Thanks

Dear parents, may i check when do i apply for PV with River Valley Primary school, my DS is born on 2010. Also, we are actually staying between 1-2km, will it be deciding factor for PV?


PS: I emailed the school on the first week of January, but till date, got no reply from the school.

Hi watermum, I've emailed the school too and the admin lady has called to say that I have to keep a lookout on the school website. They will release the PV info in May.

Just out of curiosity, why is RVPS becoming so popular? Sorry I'm pretty clueless. My elder daughter was born in 2010, was thinking of trying for SCGS but we are somewhat reluctant to move to Whitley area. That is, if they even accept me as a PV. I really hope that I can send my daughters to a girls' school.

We are within 1km from both RVPS and Alexandra Primary, I'm trying to find out more about these schools. Will be happy to hear about other parents opinions.

Divamama, thats nice, at least you got a phone call. Nobody called me. I am staying within 1-2km, maybe thats y no call? I was told to apply PV for those schools that i am interested in as nowadays PV is not easy to get in, if only secure 1 school and they don't select you, then can only wait for 2C where you compete with all other parents.

Great…let’s keep in touch…
How’s your child coping in terms of studies?

Is your DD or DS in BASC? or in any enrichment classes?

Hi plan2012


haha so far ok… no choice leh… helps to take some stress off me

ya actually i didn’t even know about this stimulus-based conversation assessment until her form teacher sent us an email to inform us about it. She shared some tips on how to help our kids prepare for this. Not sure you will find it helpful

1. Get the children to talk. About anything. Their favourite toy, place, teacher, …, what they aspire to become, etc.

2. Encourage them to elaborate on their points. E.g. Why is a place their favourite? Why they want to be _________?

3. Encourage them to use the correct tenses.

She said she will be giving them a couple of examples to practise on…
