My boy has attended 2 lessons in Berries West Coast. I am still not sure whether the teacher is good or not, but my boy has not complained. But the assistants are not very good and do not seem to be very caring. If you have a crying child, better stay with her, don't just leave her there.

Tamarind, just curious why you change the centre since the standard of lessons is the same across Woodlands & Bukit Batok? TIA.

We always prefer the traditional DIY, no fillings inside tang yuan. With brown sugar, its simply awesome ! Yummy !

long ago, we even put gula melaka inside....YUMMY!!

Thanks Full.Cream for reminding. I just add gula melaka in the tang yuan since we just bought a packet from our recent Malacca trip...yummy!

Can a child bypass Bronze exam and go to the next level like Silver exam? Thanks.

P&J are graded

readers...helps with introduction to sight
words. It's not Phonics readers.

There is another Laybird series for phonics readers. It comes in 12 books. The cover is blue in colour and the first book starts with alphabet sounds. Very interesting series.

Sometimes I feel like Maris Stella is way too \"under rated\". It is one of the best primary schools in Singapore. How many schools in Singapore can say that they have 82 students enter the GEP second round last year? That means about 22% - 25% ( 1 out of 4 ) of their students are among the top 10% in the nation.

Just curious to know, how many students eventually got into GEP last yr? TIA.

My kid’s teacher charges $90 for 30 mins lesson, 4x a month for beginner, without theory. I am coaching her theory at home myself at the moment.

Just kp. Can see that most of the piano lessons quoted are 45 mins. How about theory? It is inclusive? If not, where do you take your theory lesson and how much? TIA

:udaman: :udaman:, speechless.

As at 10am this morning, there are already 65 applicants who live within 1km to SCGS. There are still parents coming in to register. If more parents within 1km register since 10am, the chance now of getting ballot out may be more than 1 out of 5! We are the one with no alternative backup school and we will fight for it. Hope those with backup schools be more sensible because there is no point in some of us ended in the most undesirable schools (lose-lose situation). :stupid:

Can anyone give an update on SCGS Current Numbers? Thanks Hips!!

Good luck to all of you applying for SCGS!
