Hi Existing HPS Mummy


Have some queries below.

Like to find out is there any school activities conducted on Sat for P1 to P3?

Understand that the school is talking about Holistic curriculum, but generally how is their teaching in the various subject(Eng, Maths and 2nd Lang)?

Is there extra help given to the weaker students?

How is their school assignment and homework?

Will they be separate into different classes based on their results?

Thanks in advance.

Hi parents,


how much pocket money do you give to your P1 kid studying in Horizon?

Thanks!

[mummyofthree]

i give $1.50 for class ends at 1.30pm & $3 for class ends at 3.30pm. The food usually cost $0.80 to $1.20/$1.50.


if forget to give, my gals will approach the form teacher & I will pass the money to return back to the teacher the next day. There was a time my gal went to General office & the admin staff offered biscuits & a cup of milo.

Appreciate sharing from HPS parents on the school.

1) how is school environment/culture? Eg overall feel in school, interaction among students, teachers and staff.
2) character development and values emphasis?
2) is there preferential/biased treatment to students of certain classes or groups?
3) how is the language proficiency/environment?
4) what Cca are school good at? Any niche?
This will be helpful for many of us looking at enrolling in Horizon.

Can I seek advise from mummies if the school will inform parents what to prepare for new P1 students and when will they inform us?

the sch will give a handout on the orientation day to tell what to bring for the first 3days. if i'm not wrong, the P1 orientation day is on the mid Nov (the last sch day) before sch closes for yr end holidays.
