Entering Primary 1 marks a huge milestone in your child’s journey. Your little one is growing up and taking the first step on their formative path. This year, Phase 1 of Primary One registration for 2018 enrollment begins as early as 29 June 2017.
Open house season is now upon us, offering a great way to check out potential schools for your children. Both parents and kids can head down to take a tour and talk to teachers, so as to select the learning environment that can draw out the best in your little ones.
To help you out, we’ve put together a handy list of primary school open houses dates, ordered by housing area. We’ve also come up with some tips to learn all you need from your open house visit.
How to make the most of the open house
1) Talk to current students
This is far and away the most telling way to gauge a school environment. If possible, talk to some students and ask if they enjoy school. Ask them about their friends, their favourite teachers and subjects — if they are happy in school, they’ll definitely have lots to tell you about!
2) Talk to the teachers
Questions you can ask include the kind of the classroom environment they strive to create. Don’t hesitate to make queries more specific to your child’s needs — for example, if your child is on the shy side, you could ask how they encourage children to speak up.
If you get a chance, do also look out for how teachers interact with current students.
3) Go on a school tour
A school tour, if any, offers you a comprehensive look at the facilities. Observe whether they are well-maintained so as to present a safe environment for the little ones.
If your children have any specific interests e.g. in sports, it’s also a great time to check out whether the facilities are adequate to support their interests.
4) Mingle with other parents
Socializing with other parents will give you a great chance to exchange information and compare opinions on the school. You may be able to pick up hearsay or advice that can help you make the choice for your little ones.
