JonC:

Did any of you attend today's chinese briefing.


P5 policy changed. All P5 now will take HCL. Some pupils will take exams and some will not. Those will not will just be learning HCL for improving CL.

It is meant for P5 & P6 parents, but there some KS parents from P4 and even P1 & P2. Salute, they make good members here. :lol:

Never attend. But from what I know in the class allocations for this year's p5 non-gep, only p5 peace, patience, kindness & goodness are taking HCL. It was stated in the list for these 4 classes to buy HCL textbooks, whether or not they are in mixed HCL/CL classes.

Mine in 4Faithfulness... Mother Tongue under GEM 1, 2 or 3??? Mine under GEM1

Mother tongue is GEM2, so different class again.

Only the GEP classes (faithfulness) and goodness would have Gem groups, right?

Gem classes are made up from the 2 GEP classes, Gentleness and Faithfulness and the top main stream class, Goodness. About 30 in each Gem class, arranged according to register no. They do subjects like HCL, music, art, PE and even IRS together.

Yeah, last time my elder son had that when he was in P4 some 3 years ago, but it was not known as \"Gem\" yet then. haha.

Wonder what the GEM stands for... anyway my DS said that during the class normally the teacher will keep praising those from Goodness... my DS feels 'not appreciated'... :?

Whateva lah. Your son is in GEP. Goodness is not. why he sad?

[sachiko]

Does anyone know how many classes are there in Catholic High secondary i.e. special, express?

[syshi]

good guessing... Maybe that's how they come out with the term GEM...


Ha.. Ha... That's what I told my DS... You're in GEP and they are not... so maybe the teacher trying to give the other encouragement...

Sorry ah, heard from my DS that 4FA is rather rowdy, even if tr tell 4FA that other classes are better behaved, the boys replied tt tr must be saying the same thing other classes so that the class will strive to behave better. So smart alec right? DS also said there are some very well-behaved ones...

In addition, GEP students are good in Eng and/or Math, Chinese depends on individual kid.
