Sorry for being a super kiasu person…my son is due for registration in 2015…we are just staying across the road from Poi Ching…and therefore, we would like him to study there for convenience. Being a noob like I am, would it be right to say that I can go only try for phase 2C? And what are the chances to get in without balloting?

quite a lot of homework, esp chinese. my girl is in P1 now, she had 2 chinese 识字 test every week, cuz they learn 2 chapters every week. after every 5 chapters there will be a chinese spelling test. and english spelling once a week. although all these mini tests are not weighted, still you had to prepare your kids for that.

i normally leave my girl to finish her homework every night, which took her about half to 1 hour every night. then i need to spend another half hour at least to prepare her for the mini tests. those weighted tests are on going, every term had about 2-4 weighted test for each subject, such as pick and tell, chinese reading, test, mock test, etc.

if you compare with other schools, definitely life in poi ching is not easy, not only for kids, esp for parents!

My girl did not go for any tuition, besides I CAN READ which she finished 3 months before P1, so that she is able to read. Her childcare center had equipped her well enough to transit into P1. Both Math and English she can cope well on her own. Only Chinese I need to go through spelling with her. Now I don’t plan to send her for any tuition classes, rather let her enjoy her childhood since Poi Ching’s homework already looked more than enough to me.
