Anyone know what are the school fees for ACSI?

Express (y1 to y4) ?
IP (y1 to y4) ?
IP (y5 to y6) ?
I heard pretty expensive if one does not have ESSIS scholarship?
With T score 250 (current ACS boy), any chance of getting into ACSI IP at year 1? What other alternative schools (IP or not) should boy go to? I stay around Tiong bahru area.

Sorry to parents of girls. In a hurry, I miss out the girls.


All the Best of Luck to 2013 P6 GIRLS and BOYS

Don’t Worry Be Happy!

830am SCHOOL just sent sms to me.

Confirmed tomorrow Friday 22 Nov 11 am at school hall.

Good luck to all p6 boys

Kids grow at different pace.


Don’t worry moms, I read somewhere that kids grow well & tall if they have enough sleep (best sleeping hours 9pm to 6am), healthy meals, enough play (outdoor exercise not computer games)

So let’s encourage them to play more after their PSLE & rest sufficiently with healthy intake of food.

Benefits of Groundnuts soup (I hope my translation is correct)


(1) Fa Yu Zheng Gao - Puberty development & Increase height/overall bone structure

(2) Wei Shen Shu B - something?? B

(3) Gao Dan Bai - high protein

Suitable for adults too. shop owner also claim "anti cancerous, anti-aging"

Hi,


Can let your boy try "Hua Shen Tou dang" ie. groundnuts head soup - Can buy $2-3 from Chinatown mkt (they can give you cooking instructions)/ Tiong bahru market, must clean properly, discard leaves.

Boil 1-2 hours in big pot : All the rest - groundnuts & attached branches/twigs with hongzao (red dates), gouqizi (wolfberries) , mi zao (plums) with pork ribs & water.

Good for growing boys to consume from pre-teens to puberty. Note : Not for girls!

hey,


just bought from Giant super (shop n save) - promotion $2.99 for 1 ream A4 white 80gram. Many Giant stores islandwide.

I attended their talk; seemed impressive I sighed up on impulse their e-portal program, later realize very expensive & my child may not fully utilise program. Thought of sharing cost with 2 other parties - Anyone wants to share the cost & utlization of this program with me?

holiday program is optional but teacher will pressure kids to pressure us parents but I will deal directly with teacher instead of having the kids to tell teacher we are not joing the class. Holiday lessons are good for those who are weak in certain areas & families with deep pockets & ample time with own transport/driver to fetch kids around.


3 weeks per topic S$450+ maybe just comprehension; if compo is included, will be another 2 hours same 3 weeks etc. (15 lessons - 5 days a week x 2 hours everyday) - ie. cannot be away for 3 full weeks. Everyday have to fetch kids there & return.

Another point is that registration is open for existing students 1st should child want to retain the same class day/time slot; Usually before the exam even started; then 2nd for existing students who wish to change their day/time slots & then finally for other new students. Once you paid up in Sep/Oct, you are guaranteed a place Commitment is there.

My son attended Jiang since P3 till IB Year 4. Did very well for his CL&HCL


Now my 2nd & 3rd children also attend Jiang (since K2) & are always in the top 10 in Jiang class for each semester exam. I see a lot of improvement in their interest in the subject & they are motivated to complete their Jiang homework during the weekend. Prior to exam, I do not have to prepare them like other subjects as their 3-hour weekly programme plus homework is more than sufficient.

Postitive :
- Teachers generally very good
- Materials also very good & stay current to daily newspapers

Negative :
- Classroom very cramp sometimes 22 kids
- Uses old fashion black board & chalk & duster
- Some rooms carpet are worn out
- Principal "forces" teacher to "push" for kids to enrol for holiday program otherwise …
- Collect upfront about $900 per child in early Oct for next year Jan to May program; & again collect in April for July to Nov program (Jiang earn a lot of interest!!!) imagine 250 students per level!

At the end of it, results still count. I will still send my kids there.
