My daughter is active, outgoing, always looking for challenge, good memory but her concentration is not good and weak on following intructions. May be with ADHD character. Besides, I have another little girl who is 11 mths old (as I know the birth rate in 2010 was much higher than before).
We got both offers this year. We applied DG before but no offer from that school.
We can afford the school fee. However, it is not guarantee to have an offer from St Paul Convent for my 2nd daughter as the competition will be much higher than before when she apply the kindergarten later.
In fact, my elder daughter is studying in Kg3 in St Paul Kindergarten. She was put on the waiting list last year. She got an offer just in Mid of Jun this year. In fact, she had some social problem and always don't know how to communicate with other classmates. Besides, she is so talkative that the teachers always complain her.
