Hi,


Haven’t followed this thread for awhile and very surprised to see so many active fellow parents here!

After reading the many concerns about the partial mornng session every Wednesdays, I would like to share my experiences here.

I have 2 children in YZPS, older one in P4 and younger one in P1. When the wednesday MCCA day was introduced 3 yrs ago, my older child was in P2 and many parents like me were apprehensive about it. I had the same concerns as those listed here, main worries being the kids having to adjust to different sleeping/waking patterns.

Now realized I worried for nothing. Both my kids adjusted very well and they look forward to every wednesday! My P1 girl loves her Term 1 chinese painting CCA and she even had a chance to do a team project for SYF Art Competition. Every Tuesday night, they automatically go to bed earlier. It certainly helps that the day they look forward to falls on midweek as weekdays do not seem to drag that long now(this according to my younger child)

Hi Jackmummy,


As far as I know, the students are allocated classes based on their English/Science results. And they are also banded into different Maths and Mother Tongue classes based on their strength on these 2 subjects. Hope this helps.

Yes I brought it back to the clinic and handed the expired product to the clinic assistant. I did not specify that the medicine was expired. Just said there was something wrong with the product and told her to check. After waiting for 10-15 mins, another clinic assistant came back to me with a new bottle of nasal spray and simply told me that they will give me an exchange! Imagine how upset I was at the way they handled this. They did not refer me to the doctor or ask about my child's reaction to the medicine. Not even a simple apology for their negligence


It was only after I flared up that they usher me to the GP on duty(it is part of a medical chain). :x Well, the GP on duty apologised and admitted it is their mistake but what can he do? My child had been using the expired spray for almost a month. He could only assure me that expired medication will not cause any harm. It will just lose it effectiveness. Now will I know if there's any side effect as a result of using this nasal spray that contains steroid? Upon my insistence, he had to inform their management about their negligence and in the end, they offered my child a physical check-up to ensure he's ok.

Of course I hope that the expired medicine will just simply lose its effectiveness and does not cause any side effects. But I have lost confidence in their local GP clinics way of dispensing medication. As the nasal spray was in the original manufacturer's box, the expiry date was printed in a corner of the box. But what about those medicine that had been split up and dispensed in the clinic's small plastic bags? We consumers will have no way of knowing whether the medicine is expired already.

Hi


My son was diagnosed as having the phimosis condition and his PD has referred us to KK Hospital for further consultation, most likely for circumcision as phimosis often causes infection. Was told that KK Hospital has the most experience in this area. Maybe you will be able to get advice and referral from your child’s PD too.

My son was prescribed Flixonase nasal spray by a GP for his allergy and he had been using the spray on and off for the past 3 weeks. I only realized earlier on that the Expiry date printed on the box is 10 2010! SO angry with myself for trusting the clinic totally and not checking for the expiry date before administering it to him. Very worried that there will be side effects from using the spray as well.

Definitely Festive Hotel for family with kids. The rooms have a loft bed beside a queen bed as well as a pull out sofa bed.

Thanks Sakura!

My son haven’t received any letters or envelopes regarding his GEP selection results yet. Does it mean it’s unsuccessful?

DS says Eng paper was difficult, Maths challenging and he did not finish section B. Also says both GA papers are fun and easy. Overall good experience for him.
