I'm not phankao but my dd is in Music Programme and your kid can play any instrument they want. They can join band if they are more interested in it. Is your dd in jh1?[/quote]


Thank you for your response. Actually she is only in P5 ..... maybe I am a bit too kiasu - but was thinking of positioning for DSA application, which schools to shortlist as we do not want to do many. (Not a GEP kid ). She loves music - so looking for schools with a Music Programme.

Does your DD like the Music Programme? What is her CCA? What does she play. My question was more if can a student do both band and Music Programme as I thought it might be too much time commitment.

Thank you again[/quote]

Of course this is NJC here most programs are interesting. Her CCA is choir and unless she really loves to sing don't join it. My dd always complain leg pain after choir. She plays the piano :). Honestly it depends on whether she can manage her work well and if she's interested in both. If shes interested in it she will definitely try harder[/quote]


Thank you Drod. Your response has been very useful.

I cannot believe what i just heard. My dd's form teacher in one month already call me saying that she sleep in class and never pay attention.

Did you check with your girl?

My girl told me occassionally she feel tired or the lesson is boring, her head will lie on the table in a lazy manner and her teacher said she is sleeping, actually she is not.

But lucky I haven't get any call yet. :nailbite:

Teacher say she never focus poke her also never wake up

After that,one week she never sleep in class but turns out she slept at 2 am and nap half an hour. Then we argued about how it was bad for her health

Just to remind JH1 students that to b nominated for special programmes, teachers might elevate the student’s conduct to gauge suitability on top of academic results.

How is she going to get enough sleep? :nailbite: Why she sleep so late?
