Shuqun Primary

[leeserene]

My son joined the basketball team this year (P2) and he said he would like to continue. Their practice is quite frequent (about 2 times a week).

Personally, I would like him to join the student counsellor.

Any parents heard of NSW? I heard some schools introduce it to their students from P1 onwards. I have not heard about it from my son for the past 2 years. Any ideas why this is not introduce in Shuqun? :?

leeserene,

I think student counsellors will be selected by the school and not considered as CCA. Is your son a student leader in P2 this year? If your son can excel in basketball, should nature him to represent the school team
What is NSW?

Yqyq,

Heard from my DD yesterday mentioning about sailing. It will be on Wed but ends around 630pm because the training will be in Sembawang or Changi sailing club. Actually I am interested in her taking up this CCA but again, you are right that they have to choose what they like

Parents with kids from P3 and above....
Let's discuss about CCA. My DD will be in P3 next year and I would like to know some information regarding the CCAs in SQPS. Please share....

Usually the CCA will be on Wed or Fri, but uniforms group such as Girls Brigade on Sat morning. They encourage kid to take 1 CCA but will not prevent those from taking 2 if timing is ok. Popular ones such as Edison Club maybe need ballot.

I let my DD choose on her own of the CCA she wish to join and learn.

I don't think he is a student leader. Haven't heard him mentioned anything about it.


NSW stands for New South Wales. It is a form of assessment of the child's academic ability (I think).

Oh, you mean ICAS (international Competitions and Assessment for Schools) conducted by UNSW. I never heard SQPS is participating in this. It depends on the school if you wish to participate. Not sure about the benefit though but it can be a good exposure for the kids.

Is it? I check with my dh but he say that he did not see any teacher and my dd is already waiting at the hall by the time he reached. So is the form teacher man or woman? :evil:

I read in one of the notes that to bring maths stuff as the form teacher may collect from them. So do we need to bring? :scratchhead:

[quote=\"jon00\"]The teacher in charge that handed over your kid after the orientation in the hall should be the form teacher . The first day of school should be pack light. I remembered receiving \"what to bring\" list 2 years ago for my DD and vaguely remembered it consisted of the purple file, student diary, a story book and stationeries. They will receive time table within the first 2 weeks.

Items to bring on 1st day of school can be found in the "P1 Orientation Information for Parents 2012". They are as follows :

1) stationery & colour pencils
2) 1 story book
3) pupil’s handbook
4) purple communciation file
5) children’s whiteboard & marker.
Also said that form teacher may collect these books :
1) Math Workbook 1A Part 1
2) 2 jotter books
3) 3 big single line exercise books
4) 1 blue file (Math)
5) 1 pink file (EL)
Hope u find infor useful. I’ve yet pack those items for DS though. BTW, my DS is in 1C1 & green house.
