I beg to differ. I think the best time to be in a co-ed school is pri sch. A co-ed environment is more interesting and boys and girls have different good qualities that they can learn from each other in their early years. Eg. Girls can learn from boys to be more magnanimous and less cliquish. Boys can learn from girls to be more expressive in their feelings for their friends.
Actually if I hv a gal, I'd prefer to send to all girls sch. Girls thrive more in classes without boys n learn faster. Esp in lower levels where boys r noisy, disruptive n talk louder, teachers attention tend to b divert to boys. If all girls, teacher hv time to teach more n call the girls to answer questions.
It is true, boys can be difficult but girls can be bitchy, P5 onwards. Academically, girls can be too compliant to the extend of not being able to think out of the box. Boys are more daring to try new ideas.
Just my opinion. -
Hello mummies
Can I chk wif u to apply for PV in this sch do we nd to attach a separate letter stating wat u can contribute to the sch?
Tks -
Given that the success rate of PV selection is 21% (30/140), I would strongly recommend selling your possible contributions and skills as much as possible. Besides the usual PV areas, if you have niche skills, like strategy planning, project management and workshop facilitation, you should write it down. Given the school is going to move to interim premises in 2012, much planning and activities would be expected. Another area for consideration: the school website can be rejuvenated too!
Think along these lines and you may set yourself apart from the rest!
Good luck! :rahrah:
PS. I'm an alumni member, so did not have to go thru this route. I would have done this if required. -
Hi,
My ds is in P1 Youthful…any parent’s kid in the same class as well? -
Where can I find the list of CCA that the school offer? I tried the school website but can’t seem to find them.
Also, if anyone know if the school will be in double session with the move to ITE next year?

One question though, what does the PTA cca means? Are they conducted by the PTA? Can anyone join them? -
Hi jenao
I recall during orientation, someone running one of the booth telling me that cca from PTA are for those Pri 1 n 2. Official cca starts in Pri 3. there r parents who want their kids to b able to get into certain cca like wushu are advised to register their kids with them early. The times for these cca are on sat or sun. I prefer to keep my weekends free so didn’t join any.
Hi twinkle
Seems that magazine subscription is "compulsory". My boy doesn’t bring any Chinese homework home except hao Peng you. I noted that some of the hanyi pinyin for spelling is also practiced in the mag.
Sch holidays soon. My son will miss sch, friends, teachers, sch bus n canteen food -
Hi,
My girl is born in 2007 and I am thinking of doing PV for Roysth. How did you all accumulate the 70 hours for the PV? Will the school tell you before hand the number of hours allocated for each job?
Thanks in advance. -

If the parent is called for interview, sch deem suitable, they will offer certain time slots (eg 9-11am, 11-1pm, etc) for patents to select for regular service.
Some parents r not working, some r in own biz or sales job so can come out during office hours; some may take regular leave/ time off to serve.
For me, I selected my preferred day n time (eg wed 9-11) n roster into the library to serve fortnightly. Some parents r serving in canteen to gv out fruits; some in games room. These r regular service for normal parents.
With regular time to serve, some r still unable to clock enough hours, there r ad hoc duties- eg open house, if they need people to take temp or b ushers; or orientation, to test kids for their 100words; or special HPB program, to b helpers, the sch may call theses parents w insufficient hours to come back.
Every Time we serve, we need to go gate 1 n sign in for our badge n write time in/ out. Then we go to our personal file to write time in/ out.so we generally hv an idea how many hours we serve.
I started serving in aug when my son was Nursery in 2008. Served through entire K1 (2009) n till may in K2 (2010) in the library. Usually the sch will see the files when parents kids r starting k2. Those that dont hv enough hours, there will b special duties allocated. Heard that if don't hv minimal no of hours that the sch expects, they can DON'T provide the letter to revognize that parent as parent volunteer.
I enjoyed the times served as I got to talk to the kids, see their teachers n books. The sch operations is v efficient n they r v clear that they require commitment from the parents. The duration of service (aug 2008- may 2011) is more or less fixed.
I heard from other friends serving in Grassroot, one may start serving for a few months b4 they r 'registered' in the system. Heard also need to serve for >1year b4 there's any recognition as a Grassroot volunteer. Must b in the GRC that Rosyth is in. If your house in not in that GRC, that Grassroot /RC won't accept u so got to move house to serve in amk RC. And must make yourself known to Grassroot leader that u r serving 4 sch registration so they can make your service official (not sure if they hv file to track your hours). Grassroot service r usually after office hours (eg meeting residents, community events on sat/ sun) even after you hv register ur kid for pei 1, the RC expects one to continue to serve, unlike Rosyth can retire already:)
But of course there r other perks to serve in RC
Wish u all the best in your application as Rosyth parent volunteer
