My daughter attends and she has a classmate who is blind with spec. needs and comes down from Malaysia. They are on Hari Raya holiday until Monday.

Whilst I wouldn't say I'm passionate about the school I am prepared to give the school and principal and directors a chance to rectify obviously serious issues that currently exist. As nearly every other school in Singapore has been established for many years we all don't have any point of reference...

I in no way meant to imply that you were negative - I was being general to the mood of some posters when they reply and rather than being constructive are just venting their own frustrations without any benefit to the OP. Of course this is not always the case and I have gained some valuable insight ...

sides to every school. My son is attending ERIS through lack of choice because we are on a wait list for our 1st preference so I could easily bag the school but am prepared to give the new principal and the NEW school an opportunity to get through what any sensible parent would expect to be teething...

My son is also starting at ERIS on 14 Aug but we have been in Singapore for 1 month and he will have missed one term by the time he starts. He has brought his textbooks from previous school and does math, science and reads every day plus some exercise. There are a number of tutoring business' here w...

If he plays rugby union we have just enrolled our 14 yr old in a Sunday afternoon comp at Farrer Park from 2pm to 4pm. Ages range from 8 to 14 who play against a senior girls team who give them a run for their money! Coaching and game played. If your interested let me know and I will ask hubby for m...

Any suggestions on where to buy above - in particular shorts. Usually wears Quicksilver, Billabong, Ripcurl but what we do find then the right size is difficult to find for 14 yr old. Thanks!

We had to move to Singapore on short notice for business and thought our son was only 1 or 2 on waiting list but now told is 5 and will not be offered place next term. Has anyone home schooled here while waiting for place to be offered? Where do you obtain info re curriculum etc.? Any other suggesti...

Hi there, We also have a 9 yr old with severe special needs and found that Dover Court has a waiting list of 1-2 years. That's as far as we got with them. We contacted Genesis and found them to be helpful, informative and receptive to our needs. I would recommend you contact Lisa Barron the principa...

Can this be done? Is it feasible and what would you need to do to live in Malaysia? We have been told by a Malaysian friend in Oz that we would be better off living in Malaysia than Singapore due to cost of housing etc. Just wondering if anyone has done this and the pros & cons off doing so ie. comm...

Me again, we thought that we had no chance of being accepted into UWC but my hubby and son are there now and looking at anyway but we went ahead and enrolled him in Tanglin who have advised that he has a very good chance of being accepted in Aug/Sept. Maybe that is a standard speil but have you look...

UWC told me that they had 66 on waiting list for my 13 year old's enrolment (Year 8 or 9 I cannot remember because they also have cut off times re date of birth. I asked them via email how many were on wait list and they replied immediately so maybe you could do the same for both schools. They also ...

We are relocating in a few months to Sing and as previous threads have discussed rents have gone past our budget of looking for a bungalow so now need to look at townhouse/semi-detached/condo. We have a special needs child (no behaviour problems but can be a bit loud at times) and were hoping she co...
