Will the kids know their classes on the orientation day? Will there be a second orientation nearer to school reopen date?

Considering to bring DS for holidays in late Dec ...

Thanks,

Hi! My DD is not at SAPS but I believe orientation procedure is about the same in pri schs.

1. Yes, classes will be made known on orientation day.
1a. Students usually get a worksheet or two to do. For my DD, it's just to check on her level of pre-requisite knowledge and understanding. I have heard that some schs may use the result to re-organise their classes. Not sure if this is true.

2. Orientation should be one day only since the teachers will also need a break. Organising an orientation is time-consuming and requires lots of manpower.

3. Since you are only going in Dec, and generally schs have their orientation days at the end of Nov, it shouldn't be a problem.

4. You don't only buy books, uniforms, etc. on orientation day. There will also be talks by principal, teachers, your child will get to meet his/her teacher and classmates, etc.

Think different schools do their orientation differently. For mine (not SAPS), we bought the books online and collected them directly from the supplier. School uniforms were also bought from another supplier at their shop outside too. Classes were known before orientation day. During orientation day, the kids go to their respective classes while the parents watch performances by various CCAs in the hall.

Thanks,[/quote]Hi there, sorry I did not notice that you had posted a question to me till now.
Closer to the orientation day, you will get a letter indicating your child's class together with the book list and timings whereby the bookshop and uniform provider will be available, normally on sats before the actual orientation day. Online ordering is also available,
Last year, I brought my kids down and bought the books and uniforms a few weeks earlier. But on orientation day, still need to queue for PE T-shirt and pants bec did not get to know the colour beforehand.

Hi,

I had the idea that within 1Km is safe to enrol into SAPS, till I read the threads. Now knew that they do not have PV. So even 3 years down the road, still subject to balloting. So nothing I can do much huh?

If the school doesn't accept PV, you can still go by the grassroot leader route. Be active during these three years.

Yes at Phase 2C past 3 years indicating those stay within 1Km to take part balloting. You may want to consider do PV or Grassroot if you still can meet the dateline.
