Hi, me too going Korea between 30/11 (SQ arrive at 10 plus pm), and return on 12 Dec (9am flight). Saw a few postings going to Korea on the same flight. Just wanna to say hi!

I found this on MOE’s website.


"The Ministry does not stipulate operation hours for schools. However, there are guidelines on formal curriculum hours, which account for the biggest proportion of school hours.

2. For Primary 1 and 2, the guideline is for 48 periods of 30 minutes each per week and for Primary 3 to 6—49 periods of 30 minutes each per week. This works out to 5 hours a day including recess time. For secondary schools, the curriculum time guidelines stipulate 40 periods of 40 minutes each per week. This works out to 6 hours a day including recess time.".

I counted the timetable, there are 57 periods of 30 mins.

A bit too much right?

Do you think it’s wise for me to highlight my concerns to the principal? I don’t expect the school to change the timing but at least she can tell her teacher to give the girls a 15 mins in class lunch break, to munch half a sandwich or a packet of biscuits. We adults cannot even tahan having lunch at 2pm, what more a 6/7 year old girl.


Anyone’s girl gg P1 next year? Mine in 1 Faith.

The dismissal time for P1 is as late as 145pm. Recess time at 930am. The two meals are almost 4.5 hours apart, assuming you are staying near the school. I wonder how did your girls coped? Did they become skinner?

It can be (1) or (2). The tone interpretation is correct.

Problem is, how do we tell a P2 kid? :scratchhead: And if the sentence is not in context, it's even harder to decide. For simplicity, I will tell my kid to use \"!\".

On the 'dou hao\" vs \"dun hao\" problem, it has to be 'dou hao'.
'dun hao' is for listing of items. The two phrases are referring to two actions.

Hi everyone. :lol: Glad to find this.

My son is going to Townsville next year!
Hope to see you at the orientation in Nov.

Thanks RRMummy.


Any idea where I can find out the latest registration status for Ai Tong?

if balloting is required, how will parents be informed? school call, send email or send letter to home?
