Hi Parents,


I am getting my son to be trainned in Wushu. As the school does not have this CCA, i will like to get a coach to teach him. This coah is Vincent Ng’s "shi di". He has won international medals too! Let me know if you are keen.

Training venue will be in the school or somewhere near !

Thanks.

Hi anymore Temasekians’ parents out there? This networking group seems rather quiet. Come on parents, join us on board !

Hi,


Any Temasek parents here? this thread is so quiet.
I have a boy in P2 this year, another one joining P1 next yr.

JonC:

Not very sure other schools.


But CH every year P1 only take in only max 210.

My boy's class stays 20+ from P1 to P4 due to reasons I have mentioned even with the pluses and minus. P5 is 31.

Thanks Jon C and Watmekiasu for sharing. That being the case, i guess doing transfer at P4 level seems to be easier as more there are more places.

How did you get your boy a transfer into CHS? I tried to do a transfer for my boy for P2 next year. Put him on waiting list and sent CHS all the results and certificates, but reply was \"no vacancy\".

Hi, did the same as you. Submitted the waiting list and all his results etc. I heard that P1 and P2 difficult to get transfer, as the class size is fixed, unless got students transferred out of CHS. For P3, the class size gets bigger, not sure if it is true. Dun give up, submit again. THanks

Yes, don't give up. 2 of dd's old classmates managed to transfer to CHS only at P3, prob due to larger classes fm P3 onwards.[/quote]
Thanks all for your comment.

What is the class size for P1 and P3?

Hi Jovan_mummy,

My son will be in P2J next year. What class is your son?

NicHei:

2centsworthy:

\"F\" class is BEST... \"E\" is 2nd best... after that it is all average classes .. so no worst class. Hope that helps. Hope they are not changing that next year.

Is this the same for P3. I will be transferring my boy to CH, next year. Anyone also transferring their boy next year?

Hi there,


Just to share. Appeal will start either on 22 or 23Dec 09. It depends on the school. My son did not do that well, so, i have spoken to 4 - 5 schools’ principal on appeal. Reason -> it is only this time that there will be movements and the school will look at who appeal and select those they want.

While most school will take in appeal based on CCA, a few based on result. One principal that i spoke to told him told me his selection is based on result, and of course, if the child has leadership quality, it may help. The other one said he wants basketballer and badminton player, if my child has that he will take him despite of aggregate. Yet another principal said it will not make sense if the selection is based on result, he wants to see what the child has and whether the child can give them something extra.

Just to take note, most of the school will accept appeal only if you put them in the first choice, however there may be exception. So, the best thing is to dig out all the credentials that your child has and appoach the school to understand their criteria of accepting appeal cases. From there, you can roughly gauge whether the chance is high or not.

Hi,


I have 2 boys in BPPS. One P6 & the other P1. BPPS’s meet the parents session is usually in the mid of the Year, not end of the year.

BTW, looking for good engligh enrichment (ie. compo writing, oral etc) in Bukit Panjang area, any good recommendation?
