Hi Jccmum


Well, I hv received a call from the school requesting the parent to go down this week for pre-orientation on which u can avoid the crowd on the actual day to make yr registration n purchase of school uniform etc. however as i am tied up with work, so have to give it a miss till the actual orientation in Nov 2009.

Hi Kimifi


Why dun u consider putting yr child in Buangkok MRT Faith Educare services, they have staff to look after the infant till 9pm weekday. Currently i am also panic looking around for ppl to help me pick up my kid when she is in Primary One next year as the school care end around 7pm and there is no way I can pick my kid up before that timing. No relative or friend or neighbour to help me as well, still wonder how to solve the problem even if i put my kid in the school care within the compound.

thanks for your suggestion.

U see, I wanna put bb in infant care, but parents n In laws OBJECT…cos they said too young, haven build up immune system…

dats y I m not able to put in infant care till bb is older.

You can consider if the childcare has BAS-before after sch care…
jus wondering, there will be ppl from the childcare to fetch ur kid from sch?

hi parents…


I’m too looking at this school for my kids… my eldest gal will be attending her p1 in 2011… looking @ the past records… seems like it doesnt need any balloting… As for im staying in hougang side… and I’ve checked… I’m within 2km… wonder how high my chances are getting her into the school…
As one of u mentioned… Can we actually bring our kids in for a intro and tour ard to see their facilities and technology…? Wonder if there’s any parents’ kids aldy in that school… I heard one parent I’ve known from outside,saying her gal is in the Band… and she find that they have lots of practices per week… eg 3 practices per week… and she worry her gal will lack in her studies…

Any advises…?

To parents considering North Vista Pri


The orientation starts with a performance by the P1 children. The children developed the whole performance from the dance step to the music. I am inpressed. then followed by talk by the principal, VP and nurses on dental care.

After attending the P1 orientation, I've learnt the following:-
1) the school is extending the class from 220pm to 310pm with CCA during lesson time except 130pm on wed. There will be 2 breaks, one at 10am (20mins) and another at 12nn (40mins)
2) the students are required to purchase a Netbook around mid-end of P1
3) parents are only allowed into the sch to see their children on the 1st day of sch. Did not mention the 2nd day. Other days they are only to drop the sch at the bistro(canteen) in the morning.
4) speech and drama is incorporated into the english lesson
5) children will build up their own portfolio thru out the year
6) name tag will be distribute when the sch opens

Hope this helps

Hi Jccmum


Ha ha, it seems both of us are in the school for that orientation day except we didn't manage to know one another. I even try out the chinese canteen stall for fried kway teow and guess how much? 50 cents per plate and drink is one dollar per can. Quite reasonable priced for primary school student. Didn't manage to buy the textbooks and the school uniform yet as need to rush off after the briefing by the Parent Support Group as my child is having the enrichment lesson thereafter. Did you manage to buy the school textbook and school uniform on that day? By the way, my employer cannot release my work earlier in order to fetch my kid from the student care which end at 645pm, which left me with no alternative but to source and hire someone to pick up my kid from student care after it ended at 645pm as there is no possibility that we can pick her up before school closed. Another expenses for us again...sigh.

The turnout for the orientation is good. The parents from the P1 was also there to support the \"kittens\". (Pri 1 performers)

I was just wondering how much pocket money to give my son, since it's quite reasonable think $3 might be more than enough for him. :idea: Will pack something for him to bring for the earlier break time fro the 1st few days/week so that he might not be too overwhelmed. :idea:

Hi jccmum,


you can go to North Vista website and click on What's New icon. There's a food menu for 2010 so you can use that as a guide to decide how much pocket money for your son next year. :celebrate:

Hi Parent


Anyone has any idea what is the difference between class p1-1 and p8 in north vista primary? Does that mean my kid is not "clever" and thus has been assigned to p1-8 class which is towards the last two class?
