Hi, looking for some advise.


My daughter score is 246.

Her ideal school is cedar, but went for the open house today and heard from the teacher there that the cut-off is 248.

Should i still put that as first choice ?

What's the chances like ?

Thanks.

Try O'level Cedar. Might have a shot

[quote=\"Mama_ita\"]Hi there..I'm new here but I hope you all can help. My son scored 226 for his psle. What schools would you recommend? We're staying near the east coast. Would really appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

Hello :rahrah:
Maybe St.Patrick? :imcool:

Was thinking of that too. But really knows nothing about that school. Anyone has any info on St.Patrick?[/quote]You can search online! Or go to the thread on the website :lovesite: :lovesite: :lovesite: .

You can also look at your child school search book. That thick one with all the schools :)))))

Try for Victoria. You might have a shot at getting in. Consider Anglican High as well. It is very near Tanah Merah Station.

[quote]Hi!

My PSLE score is 264+2 and I'm considering ACSI IB or HCI. I've a couple of questions and I hope you can help me.

1. How is the learning environment (eg. stress level, teachers helpful......)
2. I have DSA into ACSI. If I decide to go HCI instead, what must I do?
3. I only have an A in Chinese. Will it be a problem coping with Chinese in HCI?

Thanks everyone. Hope your can help me make up my mind.[/quote]1) Did you go to their open house? If not, you can always go to their school websites or you can go to their threads here to look for information. :lovesite: :lovesite: :lovesite:

I am not a boy so I do not attend these schools.

2)Once you accept a request, it is virtually impossible to back out and apply to another school. :imsorry: :imsorry: :imsorry:

3) As long as you work hard and try your best, you should have no problem. Secondary school Chinese is very different from Primary School Chinese.

Hi ChiefKiasu

Tot there's a nation wide swim safe programme to ensure all Pri sch children can swim ? I was hoping KSH have this compulsory swimming programme for all P3 children.

:imdrowning:

I don't think there is such a programme at KHS. However, I hear the swimming CCA is also equally good and it can help the children to learn swimming.

Swimming is a very popular CCA becos few people actually know how to swim at P3. After about 1 year, a lot of students actually quit. You can try sending ur child to the CCA when you fill out the application form for CCA.

[quote=\"Tika\"]Hi


Just signed up with act3's 18to36mth wkend class. My 19mth girl isn't verbal yet and I suddenly have a feeling she wouldn't benefit much from the class at her age now. Bah. Kiasu parent, made payment already so nonchoice gotta go thru with it. But I know that my girl will like being ard children her age cos each time we send her 3 yr old Sis to school, she'll want to run into class and play with the rest. So hopefully money is spent well (altho impulsively).

Anyone with toddies her age and in one of act3's classes? Which teacher is supposedly good? I heard April is gd. Stephanie is new but has potential. Anyone in Melissa's class?

Ms Melissa took my class in school that day when ms April was sick. She was quite nice and she likes to make sure we have fun. However, I don't however, take her classes in my weekend classes so I don't know her very well. This is just my first impression of her

My 3 yr old just started Melissa's weekend morning class. But dd doesn't seem to take her very well. But as its a no parent class, I'm not able to tell whether she truly enjoys (or doesn't enjoy) Melissa's class. But whenever she's asked, she'd say she likes Teacher Stephanie more. lol prolly she's just so used to Stephanie. One thing I know for sure, Melissa is LOUD. haha. Whenever I'm in the room next door (Green Room) I can hardly hear the kids' voices but I can hear Melissa so clearly! Haha.

My 20 mth old is in April's weekend morning class. But April has been on MC the past few classes that I have yet to experience a class with her. How do you find teacher April?[/quote]Teacher April is really nice and funny! She rarely scolds anybody.
By the way. I think that the rooms have some sort of echo. When I'm in them i can hear a pin drop! hahas

Hi. My stepfather is foreign and I would like to know whether there are any mandarin courses for him to take part in. My mother is trying to teach him since she is a chinese teacher but it isn’t very effective because he has never been exposed to chinese since he grew up in Hungary, a distant land.

Hi minibu


Are u driving ur kid to & from sch ? U may need to consider time needed for u to drive or ur kid take public transport home (got MRT/direct bus?) after sch especially when in upper Pri.

My DD1 used to stay back 4 days per week in upper Pri for her supplementary, CCA, BICEP and math olympiad classes. My DH also grumbled his schedule was disrupted when he had to remember what time to fetch DD1 from sch (different days different timing) and sometimes had to wait quite a while if the teacher released them late. When she was in P6, DH asked her to take public transport home. So if u stay far from the sch, u have to consider your time needed (if u drive).

Hi ningy,

im not driving..will have to rely on school bus for kid to/fro school.
im staying very near to Marymount MRT. wonder is the school near to circle line (dakota/mountbatten)?

Hi minibu. When the school moves back to the old campus, the closest MRT will be Dakota MRT station. It's very near to gate three. However, you have to cross quite a few roads so you may need to be extra careful. If you need a bus, the only one I know of is opp Machpherson MRT where you can take bus 70 to gate 2 of the school.

The learning environment in Kong Hwa is very conducive. Hope your child is happy there. :celebrate:

Hi all. Does anyone have a daughter in 1C?
