thanks for the info, I will try both schools.

Hi,


My friend’s daughter is now 10 years old and she needs to get into a school here and she has been studying in China for most part of her life. Her dad is a Singaporean but she is on a dependent pass awaiting for her PR, which will take awhile.

Is there any school that you know currently that has possible vacancy for her to study in AMK? Both parents are aware that she has to sit for an entry paper, but are not sure which school to apply.

Well, just to share with you, my daughter is now in Primary 2 in TKPS. I placed her there for the very fact I was hoping there was a fair mix of foreign students so that she would not feel out of place. As much as she is Chinese on the outside, she is thoroughly an Australian on the inside, that you might even find some strains of Vegemite in her.


She is generally a caring child and has always placed those around her first. She is confident and has no difficulty talking to adults. The major gripe I have about her is that she is a tomboy, she loves running around and talking and laughing loudly.

I feel sometimes her extrovert behaviour might be a conflict with other children here. That is why I am looking to have a playgroup for her here.

Not really, my neighbours tend to be on the snobbish side unfortunately.

Hi all,

from
Katonger here. I have brought my family back from Perth and my child is having difficulty adjusting to the life in Singapore. I am looking for other parents who are willing to let my daughter join their children in playgroups. She is currently 7 years old in primary 2 studying in Katong.

I know the concept is foreign here for kids their age to have playgroups, but it is a common practise in Australia as it helps them to learn social skills and social behaviour outside of the classroom environment.

I am not for specific enrichment classes to quantify her social skills, I just her to have her fun during her childhood. Does anyone here willing to let our kids play together.

Hi all again,


I like to elaborate a little further. I have no issues with the school itself. M major concern is her social development rather than academic matters. In Australia, she had her own playgroup after school where she goes to other people’s house to play with other kids. I know this is foreign in Singapore, but I am looking for her to interact and socalise beyond the classroom environment.

Hi all, I am new here. I have a daughter born in 2005 and she had spent most of her life in Australia. She just returned back to Singapore for her education, but she is struggling to get into her social life here with other children due to cultural differences. Do you all have any playgroups for our children in the same age group for her to socialise.
