I was told by my DS form teacher that only English & Maths results would be taken into consideration for streaming to P3 class. She said the students will be streamed to different chinese classes in P3 anyway. Is it true? Asking this becos chinese is my DS’s weakest subject. He is in P2. Worried that he can’t get into the top 3 P3 classes if his chinese score will be taken into consideration. Anyone can advise?

Hi Ly,


Don’t you worry as the CL score will not be considered for the streaming exercise which is a disincentive for those strong in it.

if not wrong, chinese class has its top classes which is already allocated since P1. Your concern on top main stream classes for P3 is based on Eng and Maths.

Thank you.

DS is in P2. Violin lesson (during music lesson) has just started in August. With many school / public holidays lining up, I guess there will be only about 10 lessons till end of the year. According to him, there were 2 teachers to a class of about 30 - based on the experience of 1 lesson.

Before that, P2 has \"boom whacker\" lesson from around Term 2.

Hi, I am excited as my DD is going to attend P1 in Keming next year. I have a mixed feeling as I am impressed by its good PSLE track records, I also worry that the school may change its direction under the new principal.

Could someone provide more feedback about the school?

Hi funny, my boy in p1 this yr. Class form teacher is strict in many aspects eg correct handwriting. I quite like the strict sch rules n was told abt tt before enrolling my boy. Not sure wat was it like w previous principal.

[gvyong]

Probably strict. At P level, the best principals run a tight ship, else nothing moves.


But i find former principal a bit inflexible. Before the 2012 rule change, the sch had 1km balloting every year. When i tried to apply for PV, was told reg had closed early, even tho i am well within the MOE timeframe for PV. Former principal simply setting his own rules n would not budge. Thank goodness for the rule change, so no need to move hse.

My DS joining class of 2014.
