Is there a rule that states parents are not allowed to be in the canteen after our DD's CCA is over? My dd told me that a lady was using microphone to talk in the hall and telling all the P1 & P2 girls that they are big girls now, no need their mummies to come school to feed them like babies. My dd said mummies cannot go into canteen and stay too long there. The girls must buy food from canteen to eat. :yikes: School discourages parents to send food over or check on them after CCA is over.


I wonder what is the school trying to convey to the kids. If there is a need, issue a letter to the parents and notify them. Unless that person has not been a mother before, she will not understand that a mother worries if her child eats well or not.

Let me quote my senario. I gave my dd $4. After CCA is over, she bought some miscellaneous stuff that were selling near school canteen. I wonder for what purpose?! (Maybe for fundraising)Then my dd bought food and when I checked her remainder in her money purse later, only $0.30 was left! Horror! Can u imagine if I were not there to check, how can she survive on $0.30 for recess afterwards? I had to supplement her another $2.

I hope the school can understand that parents are concern about the general well-being of the children. Parents should be given access to the canteen to be with the children especially for the first month.

I share your same concern. my dd ended eating only fish balls for the lunch after CCA and the same during recess. She said the stalls had long queues and she didnt know where to buy noodles or rice from. i cant imagine how she could tahan with only fish balls from 9am until 7pm. I suggest school allows parents to guide their P1 girls atleast for the 1st month.

If your child is in P1 taking school bus, must teach your child how to stand up for herself on bus. Some P2 girls will "bully" the P1 girls. I should say some P2 girls can be "si bei kuai lan".

omg
what type of bullying?

[sembgal]

Girls tend to use speech and tone of voice to "bully". They do not use physical force. The speech and tone is enough. Just teach our P1 dd to counter attack the way the P2 girls who say their words without filtering through the brain.


Parents should spend time to talk with their children everyday to find out what happens in school. There is a lot of things that our dd knows but they are still at the innocent stage, not realizing that they are verbally being abused.

Even my dd tells me that if the girls do not tuck in their T-Shirts, teachers will make them stay back in class during recess. I told my dd if ever any teacher were to ask u to stay back in class, make sure you know his/her name and face. The girls only have recess time to eat and rest and if their teachers ask them to stay back in class during recess, how will they have enough time to eat?

Surprisingly, if you know how to prompt a child, the child can tell you many things that is happening in the school. Pri 1 girls are definitely not dumb, they are aware of what is going on.

Hi,


Can I check if we bring my DD with us for this Friday’s parent morning briefing?

Thanks!

Any parents to advise what to expect on Thursday,30/1/2014 (CNY eve) for the school celebration? There is a letter that states the celebration is combined for both sessions and held from 7.15am to 10am.


How is the bus driver going to arrange the logistic? Afternoon session girls will have to wake up 5 something to board the 6 something morning bus. Can parents of dd in higher levels share what can we expect to happen on that day?

Hi, I want to check with P1 parents if you received an email from school yesterday at 6.23pm regarding online learning? Is it both parents receive or only 1 parent receive. Kindly advise
