Hi, are you referring to the one at 24th Ave? My son is there and he is enjoying it. He look forward to school everyday!


I like the curriculum, the teachers and the new Chinese Supervisor who just joined a few months ago. Based on my personal experience and observation, I find the teachers very caring and attentive to the children's needs. The Supervisor, Ms Claire, though new to the centre, is very hands-on, friendly and helpful. Since the day she took over the centre, I can see that things have changed for the better. There are more activities organised for the children, and more communication with parents. In the past, I could hardly see anything written on my child's comm book, and there were hardly any activities or celebration held in the centre. Would you believe if I tell you that not even ONE field trip was held last year?!

As for curriculum, my child has definitely made progress. He wasn't able to read a word before he joined. But in less than a few months, through their phonics program, he is able to read many simple words now! All thanks to the hardwork of the teacher!

I would recommend this cc to anyone.:)

I agree with daddy2007. Art should be about free expression… not about getting it right like other subjects such as math and science, which have definitive answers.


Just to share my experience, I have put my child on an art course in a CC before. I was shocked to see how she was taught. She was taught specifically how she should draw the figure like what the teacher did. Whenever she couldn’t draw something, the teacher actually held her hand to draw it. It was not surprising to see that every child turned up an art work that look like the teacher’s at end of the class. This is not Art, this is cookie-cutting.

Art is about free expression. The role of a good art teacher should be one who teach the techniques of drawing such as strokes or color blending, BUT how the subject (e.g, a bird) is drawn or interpreted should be left to the child’s creativity and imagination. There is no right or wrong in Art.

Although there is no specific criteria to gauge your child’s progress in Art, u can see and feel the child’s "progress" from the her work and response towards the activity… even if u are not a trained artist. U should be able to see that she adds more details to her drawing ( FYI observation is one of the objectives of Art), and the drawing appears to be more "polished" than before.

To me, Art is never a money waster. As long as she enjoys it, I think it is worth every cent that I put in to nurture her interest in Art. Whether or not she would turn out to be a Picasso at end of day, I really don’t care.

Hi,

Did they say when they are shifting to temporary site?

Nope, they said they don't have the details yet.

We are worried that the holding site would be far from the exisiting one. My child will be starting her Pri 1 in 2012... wonder if she would be spending most of her years in pri school education at the holding site.:(

I spoke to the school and was told that Rosyth will be the last school in Singapore to convert to a single session. The deadline MOE stipulated for all schools to convert to a single session is 2016. Rosyth will shift to a holding site, expand the current school and shift back again.
