you may call up brmck Principal directly to check. Only she can answer you this question, or how far are you in the waiting queue (if any).

any idea what is this Admission tests about ? to stream into Pri 1 classes ? tests all 3 subjects - english, maths, chinese ? or only 1 subject ? when conduct ? beginning Term 1 in January when school term start ?

which primary school is yr neigbhour son in ?

after listening to comments here, scared … so how to teach Maths fun or creative instead of drilling type, when young ?

a number of brmck kids attend 2 kindergarten, all within same brmck premises.


example:
======
a) AM - attend montessori pre-school (3 solid hrs, everyday Mon - Fri)
b) PM - attend normal regular school,

or vice versa.

some parents like to have the best of both world, for their kids.
Not contented with just attending the normal regular 3 hrs traditional kindergarten environment, some parents also wish to expose the children to this unique curriculum called Montessori … which is based on sensorial touch and hands on exploring of concrete objects to learn abstract concepts for Maths, Cultural Science, Phonics. Montessori teaches concepts very clear, very concise, very well, step by step. It can help kids establish very strong foundation in english, maths, science when young.

i would encourage parents to attend both pre-schools concurrently, if possible. The montessori teachers are staff teachers from brmck, not those external vendor. And because it’s all housed inside the same brmck premises, it’s very convenient. No need to ferry your child here and there, cuts down transport time.

if you put your child here for 2 kindergarten, it is equivalent to putting yr child in a child care centre (minus off all those bathing, sleeping time, etc) … where the kids really learn a lot of things, everyday.

brmck Principal very good! Near school dismissal 3 hrs everyday, I enjoy standing at the corridoor, listen to her sweet, sincere, earnest prayers for entire school children’s safe, pleasant journey home, then bring them back safe and sound again back to school next day.


towards end of school 3 hrs, she will announce over the PA system, in a very gentle, slow, re-assuring voice, for all the little kid’s safety during home journey. Her voice sounds so sweet, like a little angel, asking for God’s gentle protection over all the little children, as they chirpily, happily hop on and board school bus, or parents / grandparents come and fetch them home. Every word she pray is so pure, so innocent, so sweet, so thoughtful, so nice to hear.

so far, seldom hear school Principal pray for safety, security for their school kids. She is a rare gem!

Music wise, the current Principal is very talented. She compose her own piano songs, share with her staff school teachers. Sometimes, teachers will play the short musical pieces she compose in class. Simple music, but Very beautiful, very calm and soothing to our soul. Wonderful Principal !

above link useful, also indicate which primary schools accept autistic kids, kids with special needs.
