Thanks Royal for sharing. I’ve reg online for NVPS & waiting eagerly to start our learning journey next year.


What’s ur view on reggio & can u see the difference between traditional drilling style of teaching which "prepares students for PSLE"?

[Royal]

hi wan , the only comment is we shall wait for this/next year their pioneer batch of

P6 results.I think generally the school is trying to groom all the kids holistically in term of deepen their thinking skills through group projects and exploration (learning journey).Hope all turn out well for all the students in this school and my gal too!
To add on :i observe lots of foreign students from china , india, korean etcs…soon Philippines.Do pm mi if i can assist you in anyway ,but bear in mind my gal is only P1 this year.
cheers.

Hi Royal, at P1 d u see ur girl building up her interest to acquire new knowledge? In her daily life, is she interested in the environment around her (out of sch)? Does she spend alot of time in front of netbook? Does she type more than write?


I’m trying to prepare my son for the new system. I think teaching method from K2 to P1 is quite similar, except there is use of ICT. I have spoken to my son’s P that students transit to pri sch quite well.

hi wan,

-P1 d u see ur girl building up her interest to acquire new knowledge?
maybe they learn what they see.as they are still more visual kids.
Does she spend alot of time in front of netbook?
-there are some assessment online , i think genrally is use throughout all P1.
Does she type more than write?
nope , but they are expose to learn to type.

Hope i answer your queries!
NOwadays kids can easily adapt to new learning method.
cheers.
Wish you all the best for your enrolment to your "ideal" school

Very positive response from parents, seems like many have faith in this school and the direction the P is taking… Potential ballot situation?

This year P6 is not the sch’s first batch. If you want to see whether reggio works from P1 to PSLE, you have to see their current P4. P5 and P6 are those transferred from other schs. The P’s vission is good but he can be blunt I heard from some parents. There are also a few teachers who left the sch last year. From what a friend of mine, who is a parent in this sch, said, the P likes to preach Christianity. He rarely practices the values though.


But many positive comments here on the sch direction. That is more important.
