I didn't realise the principal is leaving. It must be part of those routine MOE postings. Let's hope the new principal will be good as my kids will be having PSLE in 2-4 yrs' time.

It's Sports Fiesta this Thur...

I didn’t join the parent support group . I think the school welcome parents to help out at the school. I 'm full time working mum. I don’t even have time to attend to parents meet the teacher session.

So far, my girl is coping fine in school.

Actually , going St Andrew has its advantage because of the affiliation up to junior college . But boys can be quite rowdy .
Yangzheng has a mixed ethic group of boys n girls.So a good social mix of students from different family background .

Not sure why the girl didn’t take school bus Liao.

The wushu timing , may be you can call up the school these 2 days to check because holidays liao for my girl . Otherwise, need to wait till school re-open , then she can check with her classmate .

As to whether 1-2 km will definitely get in this year . I m not sure . But within 1 km will definitely get in. It really depend on the number of applicants . But I think the chance shd be quite high as compared to Maris Stella .
In term of homework , not much for lower primary . I leave it to my girl to complete on her own.

If you choose Maris Stella, for sure balloting required for 1-2 km . In time to come, balloting will also apply to those within 1 km due to new condos coming up around the area .

Ok I will call up the sch later today.


Yeah alot of my friends was telling me wif the new condo up this yr chances of getting in for 1-2km sure not easy. Anyway all school are good school the student themselves oso need play apart in their study cannot also rely on teacher.

Just asked DS, who said wushu is from 3 pm to 4.30 pm on Thur. He also said that P1-P3 students can join CCAs, but only some (and not all) are opened to these lower primary students. Upper primary students can choose from all CCAs.


We always have to make separate arrangements to fetch kids from CCA as the sch bus does not cover CCA.

You might not be able to reach many people in the sch today or these few days, as the upper primary students are away on camps. My DD in P4 went to sarimbun scout camp and stayed overnight last night (first ever such experience) and will be back by around noon. The P5 students i was told have gone to M’sia for 3D2N, and P6 is in SGP somewhere… P1-3 students had their camp in school earlier in the year and since yest have been at home doing e-learning, as most of the teachers I assumed, have been roped in to help out with the upper pri camp trips.

Essentially, sch hols started early for P1-3…

Maybe can feedback to sch ask them to work with bus operator to ferry those fr CCA back home. Most other sch did that, parents needa pay extra loi. Any idea hw much is bus fees nowadays? I heard easily $150.


So pri 1 camp is in sch lai…

So excited for my boy going pri 1. Really hope he can get into YZ. Btw, do you all know whether YZ assess the kids during orientation? I heard some sch did dat and provide holiday class for those who need it. In which level is HC offer? Tks

[magiccastle]

No assessment during orientation.


As for the school bus arrangement , have spoken to the teacher before n the school have also done a survey from parents before. Likely , most kids are all staying nearby , demand is low and it is not worthwhile for the bus operator to provide after CCA transport service .
