Hi Tri Mum


You are welcomed! Just passing on the kindness/helpfulness that I experienced from the other mums here.

See you during the orientation!

Cheers!

Last year, I signed up my girl for the after care before the orientation , so on that day of orientation just collected the YMCA T-shirts. There was long queue for transport , uniform, textbooks etc. It’s better to have two persons, one settled the admin stuffs and other queue to buy textbooks etc. The p1 girls were being taken care of by their buddy on that day.

Hi Doraemo, does your DD likes the after school care?

Initially , she didn’t like it, told us she has no friends there. Spoken to the teachers on this, they said no need to worry after some times they will warm up and they created some games for them to play together as a group. My girl’s class has 7 of them in the after care. Now, she loves going to school and aftercare because she has many friends from different classes and also the seniors , she got to know all of them from the after sch care. That’s one thing good about being in the school after care.
The after care teachers are caring and nice especially their Chinese teacher, very motherly. The p1 girls like her. They also has many activities for them during the school holiday, the June holi, they went to watch Night at the Museum2 , National library, Canopy Walk, science workshops and intensive tuition programme for Math and English, art and craft.etc.

With the intensive tuition during the holidays, do the students do better in the CA2 and SA2? Just wondering if group tuition helps if child is weak or is it better to get one-to-one tuition for 2 days a week at home?

Hi,


Does anyone know what sort of enrichment classes are available for P1 girls at St Margaret’s? Am especially interested in those that are more sports related as I feel that kids these days are not active enough. Am all for healthy lifestyle

[doraemo]

So far , my dd in P1 has received invitation to join enrichment classes for ballet, tap dancing, junior tennis and junior netball . CCA will be compulsory in p3. Gymnastic is included during PE lessons in term 3 .

Hi Doraemo,

Wow! That’s quite a spread. Kids are so fortunate these days. DD will be so happy I am sure! She’s already doing ballet and loving every single bit of it (so that means I can cut her existing ballet class which is at night and send her to the one in school). Yay!

Junior tennis too? DD likes to watch both Nadal and Federer, wonder if she’ll want to play too.

Just hope she won’t be overstretched with too much activities.
