Hi all,


I have 2 kids already in Balestier Hill Pri Sch, P2 & P5.

My youngest girl is already looking forward to join their brothers next year.

Great place to learn with lots of other natioinalities fr USA, Europe, Brazil, Japan, Korea, India, China, etc. Almost an international sch. Very often, P2 son always look forward to school the next day. He has lots of friends and often share home foods during break time.

Teachers are also very helpful and really go that extra mile.

My P5 son is struggling with mother tongue in current class, which I suggested for switching to foundation. After speaking to mother tongue teacher, they suggested putting him another class (other nationality) with another teacher who specilizes in interesting him on mother tongue. Now my son no longer deter Chinese class, and is also helping other classmates during group quizes. Just spoken to his chinese teacher recently on my son interest, and she will try to interest him further based on his interest.

I am glade my children are enjoying school, aside from their academic progress.

Hi, anyone know the whether the school is good? If there are a lot of parents with bright and keen kids staying around the school, then there will be a chance that this year the school may have got a lot of bright kids that could not get into other better school come into this school. This will bring up the name of this school?! :?

I believe the comittment and the quality of the teachers play a part too

Hi,


My son is also going to Bendemeer next year

Anyone know of any private bus operator from Upper Boon Keng to Geyland Bahru ? (as I am putting him at the student care centre there in the morning).

Thanks very much.

Just checked with them. They can’t provide separate service to student care centre as they are under contract.


Think have to look for private bus operator.

Thanks anyway.

Hope you manage to find the bus operator by now

Can I check if you bought ALL that is listed in the booklist? Was looking at the stationery and wonder if they will use whiteboard marker, 2-button plastic file, etc...?

Alas, I couldn't find any willing bus operator to ferry my kids in the morning..luckily found an alternative care for him.

Being lazy and just to be safe I just boutght all the items in the booklist from the bookshop in school. I suppose all the items listed will be needed at certain point of time throughout the year if not everyday.

Well, WE can be the one to nurture our kids and help bring up the level instead! How about that? :celebrate:

anyone signed up for the Parent Support Group? I called to enquire about how I may be able to contribute but the teacher in charge never returned my call to date....
