Yes, LKVM - u are right so each one of us representing each level in CPS. I hope to have more parents actively involved so we can share & learn from one another.


My Hubby used to tease me,\"Don't ever let e teachers know or else your identity will be \"exposed\" & our DD1 will be \"targeted\"!\" :lol: Well, I believe this is a forum meant for viewing own opinions and shall not pose any form of \"threads\" to anyone posting. I have learnt many good tips from other threads and never feel that anyone is out to \"harm\" me :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Hi, any parents put their child in an after-school care? What do you think of a school-based after school care in CPS school premise?

LKVM:

I think this site is very good and you can keep the identity of your child hidden as much as you like... putting up this info will make others coming to our thread better and good impression for the school can be given

yes, i still feel we need to have some form of privacy cos it's online. so we don't list the kids' names to protect them. and i think so far, we haven't complained about trs or had any form of personal attack, so it's been purely a good learning experience!

champion, u just listing our names with the kids in what level, right?

hi! are you going to set one up?

i think that'd be very useful for working parents with kids there. but it has to be a very good one, else they'd still rely on other avenues for their kids. if you ask, many parents can list what they think of as \"good\".

i'm a sahm so I don't put my kids in BASC but i have friends who do and they really like those based inside the school cos they don't have to worry about transport and it;s very convenient.

Hey, great to hear that. If there are demands, I will talk to the new Principal to setup an after-school care in CPS. Hope to hear views from other CPS parents as well. It’s indeed very convenient for the pupils, save the hassle of travelling out of the school to the BASC.

Hello All,

Term 1 School Holidays coming to an end very soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...... - counting down 2 days left.

For me, guess Term 2 will be busier and tougher cos DD1 has to prepare for SA1 main papers and on top of that, believe she still has the Listening Compre/Oral, Compo papers to \"conquer\" :shock: Let's pray and hope she can manage through

I like to discuss another issue with you all here and seek your opinions -
DD1 or myself will log in to CPS web page whenever we are at the p.c. We realise that it has never been updated and that the informations are very outdated I find that this is not serving as a very publicity image esp parents who would like to find out more about this school info will find them redundant :? Personally, I am not not well-versed with IT; can actually label me as an \"IT Idiot\" :cheeky: But sincerely, I would be very much want to get more infor from the school web page as much as possible so that also eliminate the possibilities that I miss reading any of the letters that DD1 brought home.

I am thinking whether should I raise this point up during the PTM next Saturday? (Provided I have the opportunity and chance to say so ). Or which department or who should I approach regarding this matter? Just a little bit off track - I had written in to the \"Admin Manager\" 2 years ago regarding DD1's school bus services issues and she took 2 weeks later to reply me - just to direct me to Alan Bus Services which I had failed to get a satisfactory answer. Anyway, this is a past issue - so let it be bah :roll:

yup, i do surf it stimes. agree pretty outdated. they only update the staff list n form trs pg rt?
or else the achievements pg.
however i realise this problem is quite prevalent amongst many pri schs

yup, shd bring it up cos it's sth like a 1st impression..

however, in sec sch n JCs, the sch has corporate comm made up of trs and full time admin staff, so websites, media releases are all v up to date. and at where i used to work, the trs selected for corporate comm are all the English/ multi-language \"powerful\" people, who are super diplomatic and also look v good, well groomed, plus IT savvy.

they are like the front, like the face of the school, so must portray v good image... hahaha

Pardon me but if I don't remember wrongly, in year 2009 when DD1 in P1, the staff list and form teachers page are only updated somewhere in March 2009! For year 2010, also quite late but can't remember the exact dates.

For Year 2011, yes, they updated on 29 Dec 2010 before the school re-opens. But....last day of Term 1, there is already a change in most of the classes FT and they have not updated yet! And the page allocated for the Principal is still \"Under Construction\"

I don't know am I being too \"prejudice\" or \"paranoid\" over the above issues - maybe some parents might pass on this comment,\" Aiyoh, small matter - why you bother so much?\" Well, maybe I am but I guess it is good if we can obtain most of the info from the school website since internet is so widely use and easily accessible nowadays
