Time flies... It is time to bid farewell to this thread. I rated myself as the least kiasu parent in the forum but I benefited plenty from the amount of information that I gathered in the portal. Those were the days that we could openly share in this particular thread and poking fun at each other. I really treasured those moments and missed parents like IJJ, E3, Happy Mama, FQW, dyh, Trapwithin, Funx3, Jennifer, JoeeYee, janet_lee88 and many others. Those days, I looked forward to E3's posting and Trapwithin's for his reflection. All eyes were glued to this thread and if we happened to blink our eyes, this thread would jump by 10 pages. The BBQs we had were fun and my dd is still talking about them till now. To date, we still remain friends even though our kids are in different schools.


It was not a plain smooth sailing journey for my girl. Like many parents, I had high expectations from her initially. I exected her to be at least top 3 in class. I expected her to clear the GEP but when that didn't go her way, I began to concern whether she was selected for TTLT or E2K programme. Everything just didn't fall in place for her because I didn't realise she was just an average kid. I learnt along the way and I freed the kite one day. She studied at her own pace and was coping well in school. At least to me personally, PH is a good school and she enjoys her school days here.

The school has laid a good foundation for her academically and she is looking forward to embark on her new journey. It was a bonus to us that she was successfully DSAed into her dream school. The final piece just fell in place for her, at least.

Here wishing all the kids all the best in their examination.

Hey php, congrats to your girl to get into her dream school.
All the best to her.

My ds2 did not get DSA; on the positive side now I can go thru the experience of choosing a school when the PSLE results are out.

My last 8 years partnering with PH to educate my children will always hold fond memories...

hi dreamsinsin


should follow their proposal - get 3 sets of PE attire and 1 set of uniform.
i got 2 sets PE attire and 3 sets uniform when my gal started P1, in the end, uniform became white elephant, she only wore it once a week while 4 days in PE Attire.
Then in P2, 5 (FIVE!) days in PE Attire.

so the uniform only wore like when it is necessary/required.
wasted $$ coz now she outgrew them already - hence am asking about P3 attire to save myself from the same mistakes.
haha

All new Y16 mummies,

I have just went to buy my boy’s uniform and was told that they are changing their PE attire. Not sure when can buy the new ones. But I bought 2 sets of uniform, not sure if necessary…
Anyone going to used the school’s student care. I checked with them but could not get a firm reply. They cannot even allow kids to go in during Dec.

Hi php, thanks for your message. I would also very much like to thank you, dyh as well as former PH parents like Jennifer and Janet etc. for all the sharings in this thread. I've learnt much about the happenings/updates in the school from all of you.

:thankyou:

Dear mummies,


I don’t see swimming as one of the CCA at PHPPS - so it is not a compulsory for the P3 kids to learn swimming, right?
I just heard from my gal’s coach that some schools require kids to learn swimming in P3 and those who can swim, will have to produce a cert by their coach to show that they are able to swim.

Can anyone advice?
