Hi All

I am considering sending my sec 1 child to Adam Khoo’s "I am gifted Senior" program. It seems this is more of an on-going program which places emphasis working on the child’s motivation,behaviour, mindset & learning attitudes towards his studies & also practical life-skills in his growing up years.
Has anyone been on this program ? Is this really helpful & beneficial to the child? (my child really has problem with time management & is just not focussed with his tasks… hope to sign him up with a good program …)
Thanks !

Hi, does anyone have any details of upcoming open house of secondary schools ?

Thank you.
Claire

Hi,Thanks.

I have been very patient with him. Sometimes, I feel helpless as to how to drive home that message to him; what "being careless" may mean at the end of the day. Yes, it would mean alot of difference in his grades.

Hi

My child is very careless in his work. Lately, the number of careless mistakes in the practice papers (done in school) have caused him to loose alot of marks.
AM worrried for him as he will be sitting for his PSLE this year.

Any parent here has any advice on how to help him? — we have been reminding him to check his work and be focussed while on any assignment/task/exam paper. Besides just being careful & focussed, how can we as parents help ?
Thanks .

Hi

My son is in P6 & will be sitting for his PSLE . He is a very loving & nice innocent little boy. However, he is very disorganised & will just take a long time to complete his school homework. There is therefore, very little time left for me to really sit down with him to revise thr' the day's lessons & start preparing for his coming exams.

This can be very frustrating as we always have to 'rush' him in the evenings to finish up his school assigments. Hubby & I are worried for him but he is taking things in his own 'good slow stride'.

Anyone here has the same problem with your child & has managed to work out an effective approach to handle the situation?

Thank you. Hope to hear some sharing from parents out here.

Thanks

Hi lovethekids
Did you eventually go to the open house at Maris Stella on saturday ? We went and my child is quite impressed by their innovative MACbook one-to-one learning during curriculum time.
We've advised him that there are alot of other factors to consider while choosing a school. We are not near Maris Stella and distance is therefore one of the considerations for us. However, he is still very keen, but I suppose we'll all have to wait for the PSLE results to be released before he decides making any final decision.
Hi Tianzhu,
We have seen how the MACbook is being used as part of the classroom curriculum , and it's indeed \"appealing\" to the students as children nowadays are really drawn towards IT/Infocomm technology. I agree with you that some families may have problem getting the child a MACbook. But I think in such cases, the school might help those who are in need.

Wishing all our children the best with the PSLE results.

Hi Vanilla Cake
Really thank you for the updated list of schools. I have been trying to look into the MOE website but didn't manage to find any info regrading open dates for schools.
Where did you get these dates & open house school list ? Thanks.
Claire

Hi everyone,

Does anyone care to share more about Maris Stella High School if your child is currently in this school ?
My son is waiting for his PSLE results and is keen to go into this school but there has been no open house so far (unless we had missed it ? ) .
Thank you. :lol:
