Hi,

I’m new to this forum. My daughter is turning 4 next mth and she had been asking for ballet/dance classes for the past 1.5yrs. she went for 2 workshop over the june holidays, love it but have since requested for a ballet sch with open studio or one which i can peep at her, think for security reasons.

We stay in the central, novena/balestier area.

Would appreciate if anyone could recommend a good ballet school with loving teachers for her to start. Thank you. somewhere with an open studio would be a plus

thanks

Hi,


My girl is now 3.5yrs old (turning 4 in nov). She is v keen on ballet n dance. Had been asking for ballet classes sincere than a yr ago but we tot she was way too young then.
We are keen to consider sending her for classes now. She had recently went to stepping out studio at city square mall.
Does anyone have any comment on this sch? Or do u have any good teachers/ballet school to recommend?
I stay in novena/balestier area.
Thank you.

Hi

My DS is currently 3yr2mths and he says that he wants to learn the violin.
Brought him to magic fiddler at the grandstand for a trial 2 days ago and he really like the instrument. He can connect with the teacher there but our concern is that she is really young at 17yrs old and inexperience in teaching.
Move over, being a new branch at grandstand, the admin of magic fiddler there drives me nuts.
Can anyone advise and recommend a teacher n school that teaches violin for 3yr old, someone who is kid friendly n experienced in teaching young preschoolers. West, central or south preferred
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Am new to this thread. I've got a boy turning 3 and a baby girl turning 1 this yr. Being Catholics, we would love that they attend catholic schs.
We hope that boy can get into SJI junior n girl into CHIJ (hopefully St nic).
We are also planning to shift becos of this, currently staying in the west. Both my husband, myself n the kids are baptized.
Am wondering if this will qualify us for registration under phase 2B?
Do we still need to do parent volunteer? Need to stay within 1km?
Seriously feel that the registration process does not make sense in a lot of ways but the fact that it is so, we'll have to stress along with it.

Baptized Catholics can register under Phase 2B (same as PVs) at all Catholic schools, at least for now. Let's hope the MOE doesn't change this. So you don't need to PV actually.

Your boy has a higher chance getting in to SJI Jr at Phase 2B, even if you live more than 2km away (perhaps some mild balloting if any). As for CHIJ St Nicholas, all who register at Phase 2B and Phase 2C must stay within 1km. And despite staying within 1km, you will have a very slim chance at the balloting. Balloting at St Nic's is for the very brave as you could end up with nothing good in the end. It's a risk to take.

And yes, all PVs must stay within 1km to even apply as a PV at St Nicholas.

Thanks, Cherrygal!
So glad to hear that more than 2pm from SJIjr still got chance. Hope it remains so when it's my turn to register.
Looks like St nic is out of the question d. Am not brave enough. Haha.
How about the chances for CHIJ (toapayoh)?
