Thanks Eddow. I didnt apply for PV. Probably I shall move closer to school, so that I dont run into risk of balloting.


I have another question - When are they moving to single session. I believe they are starting renovation in 2012. No info on the single session. My dd wil be going to P1 in 2014. And she is an early bird cant adjust to afternoon shifts. Parents please advise.

Hi libran269,


I'm not sure about the single session. :? Actually is was single session when my boys is in P1. But as the school expands, it was into 2 session 3 yrs back. Maybe you can call the office to ask about it. Or send an email to the school/principal.

Will do that. Thanks Eddow

Hi, do any parents know whether school will send out book list or class information earlier or on the Orientation Day ? Understand that some schools already sent out information to parents, some of my friends already bought school books too and know their kids class, wondering what’s the school practice like.

Hi LNHQ,


You should have been informed of the orientation day on 12th Nov. :rahrah:
Your child will be informed of their respective class when you are there, and he'll be lead to his class. Parents will attend a briefing in the hall and booklist will be given out on the same day.
You can then purchase the books and uniforms on the same day itself.
If I remember correctly, pls bring more cash, don't think you can pay by nets. :moneyflies:
Everything will be done on that same day.
Enjoy the orientation..

Hi Eddow,


Thanks for the information

You're most welcome.. Hope your child enjoy his stays there...

I hope so cause we gave up Kong Hwa for this school as we feel he will enjoy more in this school. Out of curiosity are we parents allow to be in school for the first few days to help them settle down ?

The standard of TKP is moving up, so I would not say it is a inferior school compare to Kong Hwa.

Although the school encourages parents not to hang around for too long, but Yes you can be in the school cafe area for the first 3 days. But not outside the classrooms.

All P1 students will have a buddy attached to them for the first wk or more, depends on the adaptability of your child. The buddy will bring them around the school, introducing the little ones all the places/ corners within the school compound.

Remembering my son 6 yrs back..... He shooo me to go home on the 2nd day when I was there during recess. :rotflmao: and tell me no need to go on the 3rd day liao... :spank:
