Piggymum:

Any idea if Tao Nan does ask for donation frequently?

Dear Piggymum,

No worries, its different from the past. This school have a very strong backup.

Maybe only like flag days for those upper primary classes for government aided organisation.

Relax, no need donation. Nice school.

Dear Piggymum,

If you can get into this school, very good. If you cant, dont feel sad. In the east, there is Katong CHIJ right? That is also one of the \"hot\" school.

Can I ask how you want to get into the school?

Very true, these schools under the SHHK, the have the financial backup and the kids in the school will be able to enjoy the facilities and new gadgets. Very good exposure for kids. 1 thing I will have to let you know, most of the P1 are well prepared and they can cope quite well when they are in school. Which means, they are trained now in the Prep Class for P1.

As for the Chinese, they will be learning higher chinese. Not very tough but do expect the school will teach more than the text or syllabus.

I wish you all the best.

Thanks so much for these info san76 :celebrate:


Just to clarify, you mentioned prep class for P1. Did you mean prep class conducted by Tao Nan or these students attend some enrichment class outside to prepare for pr 1?

I juz got my SHHK membership recently and this is my only avenue to go under phase 2B as I work full time, no energy and time to do PV work! Think i will need to tape my mouth to prevent heart from jumping out the few days before knowing if can get recoomendation letter!

If can't get the letter, may try Ngee Ann Pri.

Dearest Piggymum,

Sorry forget to elaborate Prep class for P1. It is outside enrichment. Please send your gal to one of the prep class. Need not to be those well known or expensive prep class. Just to prepare her and let her have the feel of what will happen in P1. Eg, Spelling; Grammer; Vocab; rearrange sentences etc. Maths will be 1 to 10, etc.

Hope I didnt frighten you with these prep class. They will only touch on the basic so to let the child know what will happen in P1 and very different from K2. Most child that enrol in the good sch especially, they are well prepared.

Hmm, if you have the SHHK membership, then no issue. You sure get in.
Dont give yourself so much pressure to get into the school. Can you try do something in SHHK when you have some free time? Perhaps it will helps. Tell you 1 thing, they dont really need donation, they want your time. As I mentioned earlier on, they have strong backup. Take your AL from work then help out. This will enhance in getting the letter.

CHEERS!!!!! :celebrate:

hi Piggymum


Which year is your registration year ? I hope it’s not this year as SHHK normally will not issue letters if you join less than a year.

Dear Lucky,

Tell you, Piggymum's heart will jump out!!! Any suggestion to help her? She is enrolling in this year for P1.

hi Piggymum


As it’s too last minute to do anything, you will just have to hope the best that this year’s demand won’t be overwhelming.

By the way, do you stay < 1km from the school ?
