Thanks Suz855. Can i also check whether kids need to go back to school for projects or CCA on Saturday?

My dd did go to her team mate place once or twice for projects during the weekend so far.

Thanks much.


The info is very helpful.

On exam stuff, can I check whether Tjc IP has regular assessments as similar to pri school? Ie CA & SA?
Also, does the kid get streamed into ‘A’, ‘B’ etc classes based on results each year?

I also understand from earlier posts that all new Year1 students need to buy a laptop. Do they need to bring it everyday?

Thanks Suz855. If I may ask and you don’t mind sharing, what are the textbooks they use for english, maths, science and fundamental humanities?

Maths is new syllabus n they use ebook version, I make dd use it's hard copy though .... No textbook for the rest .... Most are school notes n they have to do own research to learn more on their own.

It's topical assessments, comfortably space out, midterm it provide a progress report n there is a ptm. End of year, there is a more former assessment n according to dd will start after children day.

About the laptop, yes she bring it most of the days, she has to used it most of the time to do research.

Not too sure about streaming but this year, they are randomly placed into the 5 classes.

MEP is like third language, optional but you can choose either or.
For TJC MEP, the minimum requirement is grade 3,
