I’m not sure how this niche CCA works. Need some info.


Ds is in P1 and is selected for band. I’m not sure what the implications will be if we withdraw him. He has to stay back once a week this term. Just felt that school should give the P1 a bit more time to settle in.

Do CHS have other CCAs apart from their niche eg. swimming?

Thanks.

Hi to one and all,


Like Norah, I’m also worried on how my DS will cope with HCL. So it was re-assuring to hear all the wonderful feedback and encouragement!

Yup, my no 2 is a girl. The only reservation to place her in DLS is the affiliation to sec sch as there is no affliation. My other option is if bro goes to CHS then she’ll go to a convent sch around that area ie IJ TP or Marymount and we move there. I know logistics is gonna be tough that’s why I’m still deliberating CHS.

We are back for good and after settling my kids’ kindy. Now I am stuck in dilemma No 2- My boy P1 registartion next year. I’ve 2 choices: Catholic High and De La Salle. Its a no brainer to put him in CHS cos daddy is in the alumni, we also have no problem placing him in DLS thru Phase 2B. Both travelling distance is about the same as I am in West Coast area. Any advice?

Hi Shaynamommy,


I’m in the West. Looks that your daughter kindy is out of the question. Sigh!

But thanks anyway.

Hi Shaynamommy,


Thanks for the advice.

I'm planning to place my son in a Montessori kindy. Which kindy is your daughter in?


Cheers!

:!: Can’t imagine the mayhem you had to handle. Hats off to you!


DO you know what should I be looking out for in terms of a certified Montessorian? I know some teachers / principals are AMI trained or certified.

Another question:
From what I gather, most schools use the Montessori methods and supplement with worksheets (usually at the request of parents). Does that mean that each individual has a specific work targetted at his level or its just a piece of work for the masses?

Sorry for the questions. I am unable to visit some schools and watch how they conduct their lessons. Schs r taking precautions for H1N1 and don’t allow visits until they get the green light from the Ministry.

Cheers…dubaimom

Buds,


Thanks for your reply. :lol:

My boy has achieved the skills that you mentioned. What is the teacher ratio here for the mainstream KG vs the Montessori?

Hey everyone,


Hv been following the thread on the Montessori curriculum and found it very informative.

Has anyone heard of Little House Montessori in Sunset Way?
We just got back from Dubai. My 5 y/o boy has been attending a Montessori sch for a year over there. Not sure if he should continue with the Montessori or switch to the mainstream KG as to prepare him for P1 in 2011.

Any advice anyone?

Will not be able to do PV as will still be in Dubai for the next 4 years. Only option is thru Phase 2B2 since I’m Catholic. Will have to register my son online next year.


Does anyone know if SJI Jr or St Anthony’s provide any support for returning SGP from overseas eg immersion programme?
