[quote=\"dardar63\"]And it's only 2 week of school. Can't imagine as the toilet gets more utilized. Find this quite unacceptable.

Yes, some child not feeling well, vomited onto the toilet floor, not into the toilet bowl

The school cleaners needs to be more vigilant in cleaning the toilets.[/quote]
Does anyone know how the school is going to address the dirty toilet issue? My girl complained that there are pimple like lumps on her bottom which we suspected that it is caused by the toilet bowls at school. She said it is painful.

My girl is at 1F. Anybody else?

Hi,


Are there any good student care centre at telok blangah/ buona vista/ pasir panjang area?

Thank you.

The school would like to know mainly what you can contribute to the school and your commitment level. Just be yourself. Clocking hours is a year long process. You must be sure that u have the bandwidth. Otherwise, it will be extremely tiring and stressful.


If the neighbourhood school is good, you may want to go for it. Otherwise, you may need to do pv twice (only if available). Just my to cent worth. For consideration

Hi
Selected for interview for PV @ RGPS - can I know what are the questions asked? What needs to be prepared?
Also if I have a younger child that's a boy, is it still wise to consider RGPS for my current girl? Since I have to think about PV again in 2 years time....just wondering if I shld just drop RGPS and instead consider a mixed-gender sch in my neighbourhood....

[Is the school very competitive? Does it give the kids enough exposure, both character building and academic? Candidly, I have 2 choices - rmps and rgps. Im in dilemma... some told me to try rgps cos the curriculum is\" tested and proven\". But some said rgps is very stressful and competitive. I think exposure and fair chance to grow is important. Hope they can grow up well and happy. We are not sure... any thought? Rmps and rgps - which one is better? Or all the schools are the same nowadays. Just choose the one easier to get in?

If you have good chance to enter RGPS then go for it as compare with RMPS. :rahrah:[/quote]

Why?

[quote=\"Dino mummy\"]My DS1 hardly has English homework as his teacher gives out \"homework\" in class and he was given time to do that.

He has more Maths homework...sometimes up to 2 papers a day.
For Science & chinese, homework is minimal.

Dino mummy,

Did your elder boy have a lot of homework when he was in P4?

Nope, only for maths. He has the same maths teacher this yr. Perhaps, maths has onsponge workbook on top of normal workbook plus the various papers to practice.
I tink he has more homework in p3 than p4.
For p5, I do see many english papers returned for filing so I tink the teacher really gave engf practice to the class. She did told us she dun like to give homework during the Meet parents session beginning yr[/quote]Is the school very competitive?

No. We didn't. But we submitted our resumes, proposals and highlight the areas that we think we could contribute to the schools as well as relevant exp. This is when I appreciate that I have been involved actively in my school cca. Phew!

you read about RGPS here
http://frankltuition.sg/primary-school-ranking-in-singapore-for-2012/

Raffles Girls Primary School ranks top in accolades doled out by the MOE, with Rulang Primary School and St. Hildas Primary School running a very close second and third, respectively. Ai Tong School comes in fourth, while Catholic High School rounds out the top five spots. Number six is CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls School, followed by Chongfu School in seventh place. Gongshang Primary School comes in a very close eight place when examining the MOE awards. Henry Park Primary School has the ninth place spot while Kong Hwa Primary School finishes up the top 10. It’s important to note that Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School and Maris Stella High School have also received the same number, and status, of awards so it could be safe to say that there is a three-way tie for the tenth spot.

Thanks much for the info. It is very helpful. Candidly, a lot of our friends said we are \"siao\" for considering giving up rgps. While we recognise its merits, we are more concerned if it is most suitable for our girls. Can they take the stress? Hence, we hope to know more about the school thru pv. Hope we will have a clear answer soon.
