My P1 boy takes golf as CCA. What do you wish to know?
I would like to know more about the CCA
1) do yr son enjoy the training? How many times a week?
2) how does the training go about it, do parent need to send the boy to any other location for training?
3) and how much do we need to pay and lastly what advise will u give
:thankyou: for your time[/quote]Hi,
Yes, my son enjoys golf. It's once a week.
The school changed the golf operator this year. It's at mandai golf now. Am not sure who they used last year. Training for P1 and P2 is on mondays.
The kids have lunch, and then assemble at a classroom where they are guided by the teacher in charge to the chartered bus which will bring them to/fro. Golf lessons are from 1.45pm for 2 hours. After that, the bus brings them back to school and the parents can pick them from there.
For 20 lessons, we pay $500. These 20 lessons stretches till end of school terms as they stop CCA on holidays and exam periods. This does not cover green fees. They only bring the kids to the green if they are at level 2.
Currently, my kid is at level 2, but I think they will only start bringing them to the greens in July onwards so am not sure about green costs. But kids are expected to have their own full set of golf clubs to go to the green. If you want your kid to take up golf as a serious sport, then you should send him for further training. The kids are divided into 2 groups currently; level 1 & level 2 players depending on their skill and maturity level. Each group has between 8-10 kids. Level 1 group has 2 coaches as there are more kids there; while level 2 has 1 coach. -

Hi Fellow Parents,
I am interested to get my son to St. Gabriel’s this coming P1 registration exercise. Happy to read a lot of helpful information in this forum. Even more eager to slot in my son however, he will be in Phase 2C.
Anybody can share their experience regarding balloting? What is the expectation for 2013? We live between 1-2km and afraid of getting into the balloting exercise esp now I really feel like my son belongs at St. Gabriel’s. -

After school care is great for homes with 2 working parents. If you can manage your son’s timing, you can get him to do all his homework plus learn his weekly spelling and ting xie there. So when you go pick him, it’s all family time spent talking and playing games.
Good thing is the uncles and aunties there helping with school work.
Also, after school, they get picked by the centre from the hall to go to the after school care. They have shower, lunch, then activities( both indoor and outdoors) and they have LCs to do if no homework. At about 4 pm they got afternoon tea and I think outdoor games.
In my opinion, it’s better they go to after school care than plonk them at home with a maid. Cos I think if that’s the case, they’ll spend all time in front of the TV/computer. And by the time I get home, surely very tired cos have to deal with the homework and spellings etc. but if 1 parent doesn’t work, it’s better to stay home I think.
So far, I’m happy with the after school care. I’ll put my P1 there also next year.
