Hi,


My girl was back from P4 adventure camp on Wednesday. She caught a flu few days before she went to her camp and she was still recovering. On Thursday, I was told that 8 of her classmates did not turn up for school, 5 was still absent the following days.

My daughter insisted to go to school the next day after school camp as school exam starts next week. Even though she slept early and took afternoon nap, she still feels very tired. Her flu didn’t get better and today she fell sick again. She is running a fever and having a sore throat. Monday is her SA1 paper.

All these could have been avoided if the school camp is scheduled after the school exam. This camp has taken away time and energy from my daughter in preparation for her exam. Although she has started her revision for exam few weeks back, there are still topics that she need time and energy to revise in order to score good grades.
She is very worried. Although I m very upset and angry, I have to encourage her to rest and get well soon which is the most important thing to do.

I really do not understand the reason for the timing chosen for the school camp, on top of that, this time of the year is high dengue fever season, where is the wisdom?

Hi,


I have a daughter studying at P4.

This year for the first time, P4 students are going to have their school camp as they are replacing the P5 camp with 4 camp from this year onwards.

Looking at their camp itineraries, personally I feel that they are still too young to handles
all these activities. Moreover, the date chosen for the camp is right smack in-between SA1 Oral week and SA1 Paper 1 week. A lot of parents are not happy about the camp date and we really feel that the planning of timing is very bad. For the past, school camp was held just one week before September 1 week schooh break.

Maybe this is the decision made by the new Principle and new Vice Principle.
