Hi H2O,


I send my kid to a student care near LRT. It was more convenient for me 2 years ago since I had one in a childcare and 1 at student care.

There is one near to NCPS (but I can’t remember the name), which has alot more NCPS kids.


Hi Tweety,

I am not sure about the shoes. Might be good to call the school and check. For convenience sake, I just bought everything from school as we still need the shoe laces that comes pre-printed with the school’s name in chines.

Hi BlueBells,


thanks for your reply. Wow, i did not know even shoe laces have to get from school. I think I really \"sua ku\" already.

how does the school group the children into their P1 classes? N what are the charges for student care? What do they do in student care? thanks

[BlueBells]

I was told it was random arrangement for the P1 children. Each student care varies in costs, about S$300 per kid, and each student care has their own set of time table for the kids. Will do you good to check out one and ask for their daily routine at the centre to get a feel.

Hi, after yesterday's balloting, my boy got a place in NCPS for Primary one next year.. phew!! It's a relieve.


Any advise on what will be done on orientation day? I reckon will be the day that need to get all the uniforms and books. :?

Hi sysherlene


Congrats to u and welcome on board

Hi Sysherlene,


Congrats!!

Last year, the newly minted P1s bought their uniforms in the first two weeks of the Nov school holidays, and they were required to wear the NCPS uniforms for the orientation.

Things your child will need to bring - pencil case, colour pencils, water bottle.

I can’t remember what parents need to bring, but cash is definitely one of them (if your child is taking school bus), have your child’s pick-up / drop-off address ready on hand (especially if your child is in student care). The school will send out information to you round about early Nov with details of the orientation agenda and advise what are the things you need to bring.

Thanks alot to Tweety17 & Bluebell. Somehow I did not turn on the \"watch replies\" for this topic :salute:


Can I ask whether there are exams for Primary 1 students in NCPS? I heard from my friends that some of the schools do not need their P1 & P2 students to take exams?

Thanks alot for the advise again.

[BlueBells]

NCPS still has exams for P1 and P2, but only the SAs, ie. May and Oct. No CAs.

Hi Everyone, I am totally new here. Came across this website at Yahoo! Search.


My boy will be entering P1 in 2010. I knew he is going to be in PM session. Any idea what’s schooling hours like? Sorry to have sounded stupid to post such question here since I can just call the school, but all of you here (parents) are so helpful and nice … ^v^
