Hiya,


Side track a little....Does anyone know of any good chinese tuition teacher that makes house visits ? Appreciate your feedback...thanks!

My aunt is a retired chinese teacher and giving tuition. From what I know, she improvises games, etc into her tuition lessons. She resides in Toa Payoh so I reckon if u stay ard Kuo Chuan, she wouldn't mind travelling.
pm me if you want her contact.

Thanks PinkApple! Just PMed u!

Hi,


My son will be going to KCPPS next year. I'm staying at Bishan st. 12. Anybody lives nearby my place & sending their kids to P1 next year?

What should I do next? Can I order PE attire & name tag anytime now at school bookshop?

We are being asked to come on 12 Nov. Will we be given opportunity to talk to the form teacher? I assume the school will introduce the form teacher to the parents during briefing time on 12Nov.

Hi botakgundul,

We are staying at Street 11. Maybe our sons might be in the same class

Hi,


We received the letter yesterday confirming my son's registration. Hope to meet up with during orientation on 12 November!

24hr-mum:

last year there were only 9 seats each for phase 2b and 2c for cath hi.

not sure if history will repeat this year.
if u choose cath hi at phase 2c and dont get in, got to double chk balloting hist of kuo chuan to see if still got seats at phase 2c supp

Thks! I will email them to confirm. I heard about that and I'm not sure i want to go thru that kinda stress and end up not getting a plc Seems like Kuo Chuan din have any vacancies left after phase 2C last year. Wonder if year 2005 had more babies than 2004?

If I'm within 1 km of Kuo Chuan, no PV...which phase should I be registering under? 2 C?

Hi,


I’m currently staying at Bishan and will be registering my son (2005) for P1 this year. Initially I thought that my address was within 1 km of Catholic High so I wanted to try registering for it. But i just found out its 1.1km and i have not been able to do PV cos we have been living overseas for the last 5 years. Chances of getting a plc seems really, really slim so I am wondering if we should just forget about CH and just try Kuo Chuan cos we are within 1 km ( I’m not even sure which phase should i register under cos i’m so confused!!!). Is anyone familiar with Kuo Chuan Primary? Is it any good?

Am sure there are lots of parents who are like me that worry that if they do not try to send their child to a top school…would we be depriving them of a good foundation? On the other hand I can’t help but think that if they go to an average school and perform…they can still get into a good secondary school which i feel is just as important. I have friends telling me that sometimes it may not be a bad thing to put the child in an ave school where he is happy n triving than to have him suffering with low self esteem and struggling in a top school.

Aiyah! Real headache!!!
