mummyJune:

when can i register at pro teach? i called pro teach but nobody pick up. yesterday afternoon i called the lady said she does not know anything, tell me to call back again. Why like that?

enquire from school office and not pro-teach.

Thanks pattyfong for ur info.

It sounds worrying if proper discipline is not in place.

Btw any mummies here can share the amount of homework for p1 students?
I heard that Canberra primary school has remedial classes if students have difficulties in certain subjects.
Does Wellington have these classes or programs? Thanks in advance .

weaker student will have remedial classes even in P1. weak in English will also take different English classes which actually help a lot.

Hi mummies,


My girl will be going to Wellington next year, I m so happy to find this thread!
Mai seek advice from u? I gave helper at home but I m not sure if I should let my girl stay at the student care-pro teacher.
Will the teacher there guide them to do homework? Have nap time of time or not? Thanks !

pro-teach only make sure they do home work, and test them on their weekly spellings.
But will not guide as per instructed by the school. Wellington prefers the parents and pro-teach don't correct the student mistake as this will hinder the teacher from actually knowing which student is weak. actually this makes my job easier

and frankly student care teachers.. maybe lower primary they can. but upper primary many the student care teachers they also don't know. They only person that still can handle is the centre manager.

pattyfong:

That means it is not the main gate as well? Can you let me know which gate is open at that timing?

I know the gates at the back of the school e.g Gate D is also closed at this timing.
Meanwhile, anyone has any comments/feedback regarding the student care at blk 503B (Evangel)?
Thanks.

I not sure what is that gate number. Is the gate nearest to the school field. Is open from 5.30pm till last student care student leaves the school.

For Evangel. their opening is also till 7 I think.
But they only will fetch the student from the school once when the school ends. is the student needs to stay back after school, the student must makes his or her own way to evangel.
Frankly both student care \"teachers\" cannot handle upper primary homework, either they teach wrongly or totally don't teach.

So academically both the same. but evangel is more expensive.

pattyfong:

Pro-teach opens till 7pm and the only way to get in is via the main entrance?

Any side door which is nearer to Sembawang mrt station?
Normally I reach Sembawang mrt station around 6:40pm and I'm afraid I won't be in time to pick up my boy if I enroll him to pro-teach.
I would also prefer in house student care than external one.
Anyone can advise? Thanks!

no side entrance to fetch at that timing. that timing only fetch from side entrance of the main gate. Which is actually further from mrt station.

Hello Everyone,


Few questions here, need advice:
1) Why is it better to register for in-house student care than external one?
2) What system doe wellington have?
3) Anyone know how much pro-teach is charging per month and any extra charges for school break?
4) Pro teach closing at 6pm? How about morning, what time they opened?

Thank you so much!!

1) imo registrating in-house student care the benefits is, any school closure, the school will informed the student care and they will make necessary action, e-learning days the student care will loan the school facilities to enable the student to do their elearning works.
but the main benefits is that, any supplementary classes or remedial classes, the student after will just go to the student care straight without them leaving the school themselves to make their way to outside student care.

2) don't understand what you mean?

3) monthly is around $260+/- and school holidays is +$20 or $25/week.

4) wellington is a single session school, so the student care do not open in the morning. and they do not closed at 6pm, they closed at 7pm or after the last student is pick up.

It would be a nightmare when your homeland is invaded and there is no one to defend it.

I am not against NS but that the govt has give 100% assurance that our DSs will return safe and sound in one piece. NS can be good training, but not when there is even the slightest possibility that our DSs can get injured or worse kaput. As long as I don't have to worry the slightest bit, NS is ok with me. I spend 18 yrs looking after my only boy as mum. I think I have the right to demand that our DSs will be 100% safe when we put them in the govt's hands for NS training.[/quote]
my unit by time we ORD have a down grade rate of 30+% while our related unit had a down grade rate of 60+% till that unit was disbanded and merge into my unit. can you imagine we see injury till like a normal day in the army.

How that for injury.

I think this year they don’t have open house.

correction on pro-teach. It closes at 7pm.

Due to current system of school I recommend taking in-house student care then external. which may cause you more head-ache.[/quote]
thanks for the update. i hope my child can get into the school inhouse student care as ive no other alternative care.[/quote]


normally it wont be a problem if you declare your interest during the open hse.
If I not mistaken, base on number student register and will apply for the permit for the number of students. as for space in the school classroom, so space is not an issue. is only teacher ratio and the application I believe.

[quote=\"nani\"]Just like to hear different perspectives. As a person with no income, eg. Sahm with grown up children; retirees; etc whom have the time but no income, don't one think paying for car park on a daily basis do deters them from volunteering at such organisations?

I don't wish to be rude but having no income can still afford a car which means also can afford parking fees?

To be fair, one can be driving an old car which maybe already fully paid but just using it for leisure since still have it. So here I am citing eg, of retirees, they do not have income and yet want to volunteer their time. But parking fee could takes a toll. Afterall, is just a curious topic off my mind.[/quote]
point noted, then you should explore different possibilities.
If your idea of volunteering is mainly to put your free time to \"good\" use, would I suggest searching for some charity organisation to work that require some commitment from employee that don't really pay well.

some organisation do employ some part-time employee that only pay maybe $5 or 6/hr but only require the employee to work maybe 2 times a week.

so maybe these type is more suitable for you.
