Colours Awards

Hello every one. May I enquire what's a colours award? My daughter is in P1 and told me she has a colours award. Is this for outstanding performance in CCA or something ? grades-wise : she's quite average so I don't think it's due to academic.
thanks, please share if your kids have received this from PHPPS in the past. :thankyou:

For my dad's class, only distribution of foodie bags to classmates and they sang birthday song for the birthday boy/girl. No cake. Not sure about other classes though. You can email the FT to check.

Thanks will email the form teacher to enquire . Pass the goodie bags to the FT to distribute in class right :). Ok

hello, Has any Pei Hwa student celebrated her birthday in school during the recess time? Means we buy a cake in and cut it up for all the kids, teachers (of the same class). My child in P1, so I have no idea if the school will allow. what should I do ? email the form teacher ?


thanks please share your experiences if you have done this before.

My friends warned me i better buck up and send my kid for english and maths lessons too cos the students in PH relies on tuition and not the school teachers. I am worried and of course alarmed. Do i need to be so kiasu ? Please share with me. I am lost. Should i work part time now , and devote time to fetch her to and fro on weekdays?

Not just students in PH rely on tuition.
Most schools test students more than what is taught...never depend on teachers to help your child pass exams. With so many kids in the class, teachers are not able to reach out to everyone...especially the weaker ones. You can coach your child until you can't handle.

That's true. Parent's guidance is important even if the child has tuition.[/quote]

Yes, I agree too that parents' guidance is important but sometimes, coaching our own kids will make us vomit blood or increase our blood pressure and voice volume/lung expansion!

My gal is in P1 now and next year, I might send her for extra tuition towards the 2nd half of the year, depending on how she can cope and whether her daddy and myself have extra time to coach her.

But for the lower primary level, I still feel that we don't have to push them too hard, too fast... let them enjoy learning first. :)[/quote]


Thanks everyone, Janet Lee, dyh, mommy to 2,
I will try to coach. no tuition plans. I am worried I am too hot tempered to teach my daughter. I have started on higher chinese and maths. She's still ok I guess and coped well with the activity books. number bonds, additions up to 10, I guess the 1A portions are relatively easy. Let's see what happens when the more difficult topics come along later. thanks again !!

I wish to ask the PH parents here if most of the students attends enrichment classes ? Is it a must to have?I believe in let my child play as much as she likes and do what she likes. My daughter loves Rthythmic gymnastics and swimming. So our weekends are taken up by these sports plus piano and art. I work long hours so there is little spare time for me to add other classes. I managed to squeeze in Berries Chinese( cos PH requires higher MT and we dun really speak chinese). I think i am maxed out. Not my kid, but myself.

[quote="JoeeYee"]Anyone heard anything about the relocation? 2016 going single session, no time liao!!

Most likely to the current holding school of NYPS, after they move out (heard from reliable sources).

Wow, good news. Convenient for us. My younger one will be P1 in 2015.[/quote]

I haven’t post for a while. How’s everyone? Great news for me if the holding school is going to be there! Hope there will be more details during the orientation.

Thanks. :grphug: It's updated as 49 for 43 available seats? I called in the morning at 10am and was told to come in for balloting. Since i called up, she will not call me later and took note of my child's name. At that time, the admin officer said it's 52 SC, all within 1 km. :xedfingers:
