[quote=\"S6169\"]May be a good news for PH. Recent years, the results of the NMOS, SMOPS and the ACS Mathlympics are not that good.

Really? I thought PH has been doing well in these Math competitions compared to other non GEP schools, except for this year's P6 batch?

If I am not wrong this year's P5 batch also. Not doing very well as compared to some good non GEP schools such as Rulang.[/quote]Very strange as I expected this year's P5 to be the strongest.
After all, they have more than 50 pupils who went past the GEP 1st round who are still in PH.

Hi all,


I am a new PH mum. My DD just received the yearbook from school. PH listed top 10 students for each level. How will the school know which are top 10 when the results for SA2 are not out? (or results already out - I have no info as my DD is in P1 and no assessment :)) Any info. on how they do the ranking?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, the results are for last year.
Ranking is based on total score of all the subjects.

Thanks, dhy. You are helpful as usual

I met my dd ex-classmate ..... apparently .. one of the class has a lot of changes to the teachers. Having the same teacher in a subject is important.

I fully agree, i thot usu sch is quite sensitive to the fact that they must maintain more stability in the higher primary classes since they are so near to PSLE time? I can still accept for lower primary (if i hv to choose betw lower and higher primary), but for higher primary, sch must really do their best to maintain the teachers' stability. Now, i worry bcos my ds will be P5 next year, and he's not the strong type, so having the right (& consistent) teachers will impact him a lot.... :nailbite:

think is very hard to ask my ds to take HCL as she doesn't read CL books at all... :x

Ha Ha, My Gal Never Read CL Books at ALL too, but she's in HCL Class!
Some more in Banding Class C1???? :?

I try to tempt her to read Chinese Comics, but Alamak ... She says \"Fan Ti Zi\" So many, End up She's Now Hooked on the English Version of the Comics Instead .....

The Joke is until P4, whenever she's asked to write Book Review in Chinese, She always END up with the story on \"Kwei - Tu Sai Pao\" - U Know, the Tortoise and the Hare ....
Lucky she's been having different CL teacher Every Year, So No one knows she cheated and wrote the same Review every year ....

Anyway, if U really do not want your Gal to take HCL, U can OPT out, even if U R Offered ....
but she won't b in CH, FA, GR, HO Class ....
Can bear with IT?

Hi, Funx3, good afternoon to you! Hopefully, you still visit this site. BTW, how many students were there in your daughter's Banding Class C1 (HCL)? thank you!

my dd is P5 this year and she is in HCL C1... less than 40 students....if i am not wrong, only 1 distinction in her class....consider very good in writing if you can get close to 30 marks out of 40....and the rest 60 marks are not easy to score too.....there are some failures too....there are 7 HCL classes... ie HCL 1 to 7 and 6 CL classes ....ie CL 8 to 13

if the kid doesn't opt for HCL, then he/she will not be put into 9/8/7/6/5......the top classes are filled up with those taking HCL...important is to see whether your kid can handle the subject.... no point opt for it and he/she has to struggle

Same like Funx3 dd, my dd doesn't read Chinese books too....but she has other exposures to the language as well as tuition.....

Let me know if you have other queries...

All the best to the p6 pupils getting their PSLE results this Friday.

Good morning, PHP, thank you for your answer to my question. Even students in HCL C1 class failed HCL? I heard that in each of the 9 form classes, English is taught in each form class while other 3 subjects are taught in other banding classes. Is it true? Not sure whether the English teachers also teach other subjects. Currently this year, my daughter’s form teacher teaches 3 subjects. thank you in advance.

Hi,


My dd will join PHP next year (P3). How do we know if your child will be taking HCL? Can we opt out?

I don't think there are some failures from C1. Could be someone from C6 or C7, but also a very rare case.
During my ds's batch, only Math and Chinese are banded. English and Science were taught in their form classes.
It is common that one teacher teaches 3 subjects, especially in lower primary in singapore not just Pei Hwa.
