Upcoming events

The Singapore Education Summit 2010 will be held on the 5th and 6th of June, 2010 at Singapore Expo. It gives me great pleasure to extend an invitation to all our readers to attend the inaugural SES event.

This is the first time in Singapore that Top International and Local Educators are gathering on the same stage to share to parents and children in Singapore proven strategies to score excellent grades in their PSLE, ‘O’ and ‘A’ level examinations.

Our keynote speakers for the summit are Andrew Matthews, author of books such as “Being Happy” and “Follow Your Heart”, and Jerry Mills, acclaimed educator and motivational storyteller who will share on the touching topic of “Don’t Doubt the Dream”.

Participants in SES 2010 will also have the chance to learn from Singapore’s top educators in the field of child development. Experts on PSLE, O/A Level Subjects will be sharing with you how to prepare your child to score A for the upcoming examinations.

I would like to encourage all parents with children taking critical exams this year, be it PSLE, ‘O’ or ‘A’ Levels, to attend this summit together with their children. A bundled promotion with tickets for 2 parents and 1 child will be available at a price of $97 for general seating. Should you prefer to purchase tickets separately, you can do so through this link, http://www.sgeducationsummit.com/advocators/registration.html. More information on the event and biographies of the speakers are also available on the website http://www.sgeducationsummit.com/advocators.

For the P6 students, the Games Day on 14^th Nov 2009 will be the closing chapter of the time they had in ISUN. All the coaches wish them the best in the next stage of their academic life and look forward to seeing them again with Advocators. The coming school holiday is an exciting period for ISUN. The Science section is conducting the first ever workshop for the public. The one-day workshop will equip students with the ultimate answering technique in Section B. Students will also master the skills in reading and analyzing questions, solving the most challenging in the shortest time. Stretching all the way into 2010, ISUN will be launching a series of programmes which draws on the essence of our academic coaching.

The end of the year is also a time when ISUN will reflect on the past one year and seek to improve in all areas. One of key in this area is the development of our very own guide book. Sticking to our philosophy, the book will deliver Science in an interesting, innovative, simple, and yet effective way.

The Math section strives to continue the successful transition programme for the introduction of calculator in the P6 syllabus. Moving forward, powerful strategies for all types of questions will be formalized to help students achieve the perfect score.
