innocent,

don't mind to tell us which sec school is ur son in? my nephew went to thailand last Jan.

i agree wf beansprout,it depends on our kiddo character n country they go.My ds is also blur type.No no for countries such as china n japan(earthquake)

VS sec3.

anyone been to such school trips?

Thanks for the replies.


I feel better with your feedbacks.

We are a single income family just enough but w/o much savings.

I guess when it comes to providing for our children esp. educations, its easy to feel guilty if we denial them.

But ive yet to find out how will the trip benefits him?, why was he selected?, how does it related to his sujects?, etc.

Just wondering are these expensive overseas trips common in schools now a days?

Does MOE strongly encourages or support it?

Well the further ive been to is China and paid for by my company

Tks for the replies.


DS is in sec 3. Its a 10 days trip.

He cannot use edusave anymore cos can only use once for sch oversea trip and he used it last year for Bali.

I think the trip is for them to understand the cultures and history of europe.

I wonder how many parents can affort or be willing to spend for such trips.

Do you think this is important in regards to his education?

DS going to Germany this July organised by his school. Cost $3k+.


He did not do well in CA1, shd i use this $$ for tuition instead? Times are not really good for us and hoping $$ put to good use.

Anyone been to such trips thinks it is worth and shd not miss?

Thanks

No. DS at 1C. Is your DS have 3rd language at Bishan??[/quote]No. He is taking RSP in VS itself. Save alot of travelling time. Spoken to the teacher in charge of the program and quite impressed.

Isn't 245 quite a way off from DHS' COP? You must update us about his appeal. It'll be interesting if he got in with this hidden talent.

Sure, will ask ds to check on his appeal
