Anyone else not impressed with principal’s talk on 22 Dec? Heard she is new and wanted to reserve my thoughts until 22 Dec… was not impressed…esp the way she just nonchalant skim thru the school achievement and keep emphasizing us parents more keen to buy uniforms n textbooks.

nansk:

You really have received a slew of letters in two weeks?!


We have received only the one from Little Red Dot. We didn't sign up. Simple as that.

P1-P2 is the time to learn to adjust to school and timetables, homework and mini-assesments. We don't sign up for any after-school classes or extra worksheets.

The school is making some extra enrichment opportunities available for parents who want these options but may not be aware of all that is available. There may also be a volume discount by signing up through the school. But the teacher has clearly communicated to the girls that these worksheets are optional.

There is one that is sort-of necessary - the Marshall Cavendish Online portal - but that is a homework resource all schools in Sg are using; and it uses your Edusave$, so that is not a financial consideration as such.

Hi OrangeBelt,
Thanks for the reply.

DD just passes to us and say .. \"Mama pay money\"

That really clears our doubts.

\"Relieved\"

Dear Parents,


Have you been noticing a slew of letters from school asking us to sign up for english books/ math worksheets/ etc and they are from private providers?(e.g Little Red Dot)

Are these really necessary ? Shouldnt the home work from the teachers suffice? Why must the school actively pass the children so many requests from different private providers to sign up for such materials?

Dear All,


Thank you for your posts - i was searching up and down to convince myself that going for CHIJ Kellock at 2C registration tomorrow is a good choice cos RMPS seems so much more popular. My colleagues also put down CHIJ Kellock saying its lower than GESPS and Zhangde in terms of performance.

Hoping for the best in 2C.
