Hii there
My boy just entered the P1 this year.
Hi Hi, did you do any PV in order to secure a place for your son? My girl borned in 2005. Still thinking which pri sch to choose? West Grove & Jurong West Pri? Heard that West Grove v stress leh. So far, how u still of West Grove? Good? -
When I signed up as PV for my son one year before my son P1 registeration at West Grove, there was around 40 parents. Now I heard 130 parents for Yr 2004 P1 registration. My colleague wanted to sign up also cannot liao, too many and this will lead to balloting. My time only 40, so no need to ballot.
Lucky, my son already in, so no need to worry for my daughter. Every year, there only 100+ seats left for phase 2C and there are normally 300 to 400 parents apply.
If you ask me whether West Grove is good or not, I ever heard a comment:\" Don't worry! West Grove teachers will make your child work hard\". That's also one parent told me this school is very Kiasu, sent their daughter's whole class including another 2 classes for supplementary class and their daughter has to go school from 10 am to 6.30 pm since she's in aftn class. And she's only P1.
As for my son, he's an average student. So far, he has no problem to cope with school works and studies and they get to attend enrichment classes during ciriculum time. -
No doubt that I am happy my boy got into West Grove but what gets me irritated is that everyday he has a few pages of homework to do.

thks mummies for the reply.

Hi chixchix, do you need to coach ur son homework or he will do it by himself? Did you send your son to after school care or you have someone to look after ur son? -

Hi catddy2002,
My DS1 is Yr 2004 born so next year he will go to P!, I havent done the PV for West Grove but I stay within 1 km do you think I should be able to get in? Also my DS1 also like average student so I am worreid about the stress if he can take over there or no.. also heard they stream the students very early!! your feedback will be highly beneficial
Wow..your son also Yr 2004, same as my daughter!
:lol:
Whether you get in or not, really depend on your luck now. My colleague don't think she got the luck, so she decided to sign her daughter up for Xinnan Pri b'cause she's the ex-student of this school. Heard Xinnan now also need ballot. Was thinking whether she can sign up Xinnan as phrase 2B while try West Grove for phase 2C.
My son also a average child. He manage to get to P4 passing all the subjets, so I think there shouldn't be any problem for your DS1. I think most of the time is me that stress and I unconsiuosly pass the stress to him. I've already try to control myself to stay calm not to stress my boy too much :oops:
My boy told me this year the school did not have top 3 classes. So I think there's some changes in the school. This year, there are no CA1 & CA 2 for P1 to P5, only SA1 & SA2. Think they also try not to stress the students to much and do better in SAs. -

My boy seldom has homeworks. Most of the time on Friday to do during weekends. Only when near exam, then slightly more homework. Last year, I heard from a parent that those at the 1st top class has many homework til one of the boy get so fed-up that he hate to go school. Is your boy also in the top class? Which level is he? -
yippee:

As my hubby start work at 9am, so he take care of the school gate 3 twice a week in the morning from 6.30 am to 7.20 am, while I will help in ad-hoc events such as mooncake festive, orientation, first 3 days of school etc. -
Good luck to you!
