are your girls still in toa payoh branch? do you think their worksheets are challenging and adhere to MOE syllabus? have you seen what their P6 worksheets are? do you think this centre prepares the child for psle? thank you so much!! im deciding between this centre and SAM.

hi fellow parent,


i hope you do not mind me saying this, being a parent, you are the first source of information a child receives from.
by indebting in your child that these brand name schools are the only schools of choice, your child himself will have the impression that other schools, in this case, neighbourhood schools are not good or beneath aforementioned schools.

I’m actually surprised that he knows the names of these schools in fact.
I have a p1 2021 kid myself and he is clueless about schools.
being a catholic and within 1-2km distance to sjij, i chose not to place my boy in the popular school where he could have easily got into in PHASE 2B.

he does not even know sjij and instead i place him in a neighbourhood school just behind my block which has a cca my boy is interested in.
he got the spot in phase 2c. i was more nervous that this school would have balloting at phase 2c than missing a seat at phase 2b in sjij.

as of today, i have not let my son knows he is going to that school. he tells me everyday mummy i want to play (cca) in (that) school. i always answer ok, see how.

he has no clue where his frens are going nor I. we live in an area where there are more than 6 popular schools.

it is crucial for parents to understand the basic needs of their children and not follow the trend most of us succumbed to. how we show our child’s achievements and disappointment reflects on our own maturity.

and of course there are those who already have secured a spot in a branded school NOT of their choice but will wait list to an even better branded school of their dreams… it never ends.

well you can do that, put his name on a waitlist or you can see him flourish wherever he is placed.

hello


does anyone know the pick up timing for bus transport from toa payoh?
i assume it will go around tp estate, yes?

good question, i will like to know too.

if anyone can also answer, why would you choose o level in st nicks (cop 253) when you can qualify for scgs ip (cop 252)?
bearing in mind if the child wants to transfer to st nicks ip in sec 3(from o levels)

hi scgs forum, can anyone shed light on higher music in upper sec?

thank you pastelthemes

thanks merlion, do you know if all the 3rd lang subjects conducted at the bishan centre are scheduled on the same weekday(eg jap on monday)? hence the cohort of girls can take bus together…

thanks for replies.

since language class is only 3 hours once per wk, how do we register/select that particular bus? and is payment per journey or mthly? thanks for the advice parents.

speaking of 3rd lang, is it popular xith the girls outside of sch curriculum?

i heard that one is always excited to start a new lang but most drop out in sec 3?
any thoughts? any girls take the exam in o level?

hunnayy so sweet of you to reply.

bless you.

we will try to come to open house tmr
