Hi, can I check do we need to do anything to indicate that we want to study HCL when in RGS? Or is it by default?

Received email for group interview for DHS bilingualism.

Hi, anyone received invitation from DHS leadership?

Received invitation email for DHS bilingualism.

Hi, need some help! I’m considering to put my girl in Pei Chun under phase 2b. May I check if anyone knows usually the school will take in how many parent volunteers each year?

Hi Spe, my girl is in N1 this year as well and happy to join the facebook group for chat if you managed to start one! So far my daughter is happy so I'm glad.

That's great! Which class is your dd in? Mine in N1 kindness.

Well, as a Christian kindy, I do like seeing my son coming home and singing hymns and Christian songs he's learnt in nursery. He also recites Bible verses - sometimes in Mandarin!


Since the middle of last year, the school allocates 70% of the curriculum time to Mandarin (for N1 & N2), which is good for an English-speaking home like ours. I was very surprised when he showed me the Chinese strokes that they'd learnt.

Within the first week of N1 the teacher rang me to say I didn't have to put my boy in pull-up pants anymore as he was ready to be toilet trained. I like their proactive approach!

On the downside, his N1 class size was very very large. About 20 students, but with 3 teachers. Still very much within the teacher-student ratio set by MSF but the largest among all the kindys I'd enquired at.

Wow I feel encouraged seeing this post. My gal is currently studying in N1. School officially starts on the 13th. I’m not sure how things will turn out. But I hoping that I can see progress as she’s quite a shy gal when outside of house. Plus her Chinese is rather weak as we speak mostly English at home as well. Any other N1 2014 parents here? Am thinking if we got enough N1 2014 parents, we can start a fb group and chat from there as its easier. 

Hi spe,

Yes I went to visit. I went to the school last week Friday. I called ahead to set up a time to go there. You can try to do the same.

oh ok thanks.
Btw, did you manage to meet the principal to have a chat with her?

Hi, does anyone know when the registration for the 2014 intake begins next year? I'm guessing it would be April 2014 but I'm not sure of the date.

Thanks!

1st April. I just came back from the school.

Hi Edward, any idea when we can go visit the school and talk to the principal? You said you just came back from the school meaning you went to visit ?

Hi spe,


No I did not have to queue at all, and that's why my son only got PM slot
Actually PM class is convenient for the enrichment but not convenient for our transport arrangement.

I see.. so if i want AM means have to queue?
