Do you mean the edusave merit award? It's for the top ten percent of the cohort. But only kids in families that meet a certain financial cutoff (less than $5k gross income or per capita of $1.?k) then will get the actual monetary gift. But the child gets a certificate nonetheless. -
tks. have already found out it was actually award giving for students who got 1st-4th position and last position in class.

this obsession with rankings is pure madness… who remembers what you scored in P1? I don’t think your next job promotion depends on your P1 scores

Walaoeh... this is really hyper kiasu...not only showing position at class & cohort, my kid's sch also report mean/highest/percentile band for each subject.
i think it is a good practice. my ds's CL 94/100. initially i thought it is not too bad but when i know 94 is below the top 20%, i realized i need to do something with his CL......
What's wrong with you people? -

It's rather silly. To give so much emphasis on P1 ranking is unhealthy. -
Some people like to have these awards to include in DSA admission for secondary school. Personally, I’m not thinking that far ahead but that is the reason for some people. If you have a string of awards throughout primary school it may (or may not) help.

You may disagree with what people do, but there's no need to put others down like that. -

Totally agree - what's important in P1 is that the child gets used to a systematic way of learning and and that she adapts to the school, the environment, teachers and friends. Let children be children.ttt80:

However, report book shows only individual subjects marks, no other cohort whatsoever nonsense percentage.janet_lee88:
