I really enjoyed writing my blog post on journaling last week as this is exactly what I do each week in these posts!

Last week was quite hectic what with a principal’s tea session and then the parent support group meeting at BB’s school. At the school with the principal, most of the parents at BB’s level were from his classmates class and all of us had one over-riding concern, which was the lack of a proper lunchtime for the children. This class, as well as the pure science sec 4, who have the longest days because of the number of subjects they take, don’t really have time for a proper lunchtime, even when they finish the day close to 4 pm. The school has now assured us that they are working on relooking at their timetable for the next term, especially for the day they end the latest where they can incorporate a lunchtime into the daily timetable.

We also had a talk from one of the outreach people from a local polytechnic on the options available to students. Both BB & GG don’t want to go on to a junior college just because they will have to do two more years of the mother tongue, which they don’t want to do; hence the decision about moving to a polytechnic and then to university. While I didn’t really learn a lot, it did clarify some of the doubts I had and hopefully, this decision is a good one for both children.

We’re looking at ending  February and starting March later this week, may this week and the month of March be awesome to everyone!
