Poi Ching

[Ruer]

I do not believe that everyone here would like to place their kids in St. Hilda. I sent my DD to PoiChing because it is a SAP school with strong Chinese language curriculum. Strong focus on dual languages is important to me.

frankly speaking I dun like their yunyu curriculum.

too muc empathise on words recognition, the chn character r so "chim". Find they sh focus more on sentence construction, which in rtn will ease them into chn compo. my DS is in P2 tis yr…
just my personal opinion

Maybe I will be the chauffeur...

Also, check whether got school bus service fetch your dd from Toa Payoh to Poi Ching primary (in Tampines), and school bus charges per month (1 way or 2 ways.)

In case sometimes you not free to fetch your dd to school on certain days, still need to rely on school bus, throughout (P1 to P6).

Ya i think should still stand by school bus for emergency, cos i know some bus allow for like per daily. Of cos that will be worst scenario cos child may not want to follow too.

Hi, I have the yun yu pen reading pen which I bought for my son but didn’t have much use for it as ds can read pretty well. He is already in P4 now. If anyone is interested to buy over from me, please PM me.

Hi PC Parents,

DS bought a plate of rice and egg from a stall in the school canteen. It costs 80 cents , he gave the seller $1 and expect the 20 cents change. But the seller gave only 10 cents change . When DS asked for additional change, she shoo him away. Anyone kids experience this ?

my DS is P2. this is the Rice plus store. Since beginning of the year, DS faces few issues from the same store and we boycotted it . But yday not much food left so he ended up with that store…

Sorry, no idea bec my boys like to buy from noodle and western stalls. I wonder you want to bring this issue up to the general office. But I guess useless also. When my DSs were in P1, I went to general office to ask why no vegetables are available in whole canteen. They don't even know and so a guy followed me to the canteen to find out! The nooddle stall insisited that the bean spout is THE vegetable and no children will eat green veg! Rice+ only serves green veg during lunch which she claims only teacher will eat. The fact is my boys love green veg and the stores insisted that they are right. The guy who followed me just kept quiet.
