Hi, can any parents of TNS confirm that students in TNS gets so much homework, so overwhelming that they literally have no time for play.

As I understand, not for P1 at least. Need to ask my friend again. Her daughter is now in P4 and manages to do higher Chinese (BICEP), ballet, music and sailing (her CCA in Tao Nan).

Throughout the levels, also understand there is no CA, only SA 1 and 2.

Hope this helps.

PS: Your kid going to P1 TNS next yr?

Hi Twins, yes my child will be in TNS P1 next yr. Heard that its going to be tough all the way studying in TNS. Homework & homework!! Really getting worried now about the coming stress next yr.

hi


Saw in other threads that many schools have already sent out letters informing those who will be in P1 next year which respective class they will be in and also the book list will be out in early Nov.

Any idea when Tao Nan will issue the letters ?

Hello parents of tns kids,


So this is where you guys are. I've been wondering why there isn't any tns' parents on the forum.

Hi All,


Recently saw a property where stated at 1Km to TNS. Based on past balloting history is it not easy to get into TNS even at Phase 2B let say you do have SHHK, Parent Volunteer etc?

[mathsparks]

Mine is within 1 km to tao nan. Any interest? :lol:

mathsparks, sounds like you are planning to move now that your kid's PSLE is over? To somewhere near Bishan?

[mathsparks]

Hi Chief, I am a newcomer to this forum.


I am living in Marine Parade and would like to enrol my son in TNS in Yr 2011. Being eligible in only Phase 2 C, would appreciate your advise if being a parent volunteer for TNS will increase the chance to enrol in the school.

Will TNS still accept parent volunteer now if it is for Yr 2011 registration?

Would we stand better chance for staying within 1 Km of TNS. :?:
