Hi,

Any parents whose kids in Rosyth? My kid says teacher called out the names of the students who got into Round 2. But didn’t distribute any letter. Is this the case?

Hi,


Yes the snow world is just newly opened in sept.

Hi,


Reading the various posts, it seems the registration process can take a short time or a long time, depending on the school. Therefore, in the event of withdrawal of a school to register in another school (eg. if initial registered school is oversubscribed and balloting required and therefore want to withdraw and register in another school that needs no balloting), how should it be done?

For withdrawal, do we still need the original documents there for them to verify and approve the withdrawal?
Can 1 parent do the withdrawal, and the other parent being at the new school to start the new registration?
For the photostated doc, we can have 2 copies on standby, in case need to use in such in event. But for the originals, if they’re needed at the school during the withdrawal process, then it might be quite tough to rush to new school with the docs rite, especially if we only know that the initial school is going to be oversubscribed in the last hour of the final registration day?

Apprec some advice! TIA!!

Hi zeemimi and mum2girls,


Thanks for your inputs. Glad to know yours kids are happy in kcpps. I’m looking for a school that produces decent results and takes care of the overall well being of the students. In fact, I heard some good schools expect that parents send kids to outside enrichment or tuition, and I don’t think that’s the right mentality. We parents can choose to do so, but the schools should not expect us to do so.

For the holding site, I think the school should have assessed long ago when they were allocated the site and fed back to MOE if it’s suitable to meet its needs in the most basic form. Just looking at the holding site facade, it’s much smaller than kcpps current premise so it seems tough to handle the student capacity isn’t it.

hi cherrygal,


btw, what room view did you have? Is the city/garden view the preferred option?

Hi,


Do you all usually just get the day pass or the annual pass?

I’ll be there for 4D3N, so thinking maybe should get the annual pass, in case kids want to go to the theme park everyday for some time, and we’re not restricted and can go in as and when we want. But I reckon 2 days is actually sufficient. Do you think it’s necessary to buffer extra days for in case the kids still want to play some more? I’m just afraid we might cover everything in 2 days, and so it’ll be wasted, especially since I may not be going again within the 1yr membership period.

Other than the theme park, I’ll only be going to the Strawberry Farm and Mushroom Farm, which I reckon won’t take too long? So rest of day will bump ard at theme park again? Or is there much shopping to do?

Have any of you tried the Water Park? How is it? Fun?

Hi Cherrygal,


Yeah, i’m also thinking of getting Theme Park Hotel Family Room, since confirmed is 2 queen bed. But I heard it’s slightly less convenient than First World from the Bus Station and the Indoor Theme Park? Or it’s actually ok?

I thought of side-by-side rooms, but they say it’s not guaranteed.

Hi daddy’s wife,


May I know what do your kids actually complain about?

And you mention that the quality of the teachers is not very good, so I suppose their teaching method would also not be that fantastic and thus do they rely on a lot of homework to drill the kids?

Hi Sunflower74,

Can you elaborate more abt "situation really worsen"?

Hi mashy,


I’m agree that good discipline is important. I’m just quite careful because my boy is the type who takes to the softer approach rather than the hard approach. Btw, is the bully situation in Anderson quite bad? Is it quite common in schools or it’s particularly bad for Anderson?

Hi mashy, daddy’s wife, Belinng, Sunflower,


Many many thanks for your inputs. They really help. I was in quite a dilemma between Anderson and Kuo Chuan. I find that Anderson seems to be more reputable. But somehow something tells me that Kuo Chuan may be more suitable for my child. I take into consideration of his character and personality. Of course, I don’t know the schools inside out, but it’s just based on whatever understanding I have of the schools and my gut feel.

With all your inputs, I think I’ve much better idea! They do help to confirm some of my thoughts.

My child is a boy, so St Nics i out, and Ai Tong, there’s no chance of getting in.

I did hear that Teck Ghee is pretty good now, due to the VP being from Anderson. And I do read from the forum that Mayflower Pri seems, quite good, but I’m not sure yet, as have not done much research.

Any inputs on Teck Ghee and Mayflower is welcome!
