Some mummy wrote that some Math question were set from the textbooks
My ds is using his gor gor's older edition Math textbook, not sure whether need to buy a new set for him.[/quote]

I think not necessary for now.

not many questions are set from textbooks, and when that happens, can always ask your ds friends to whatsapp the questions to him. When my ds was in year 1, didnt happen more than 4 or 5 times during the year.

Quick question. Do have kids need to wear school uniform everyday? Even on PE days. Thanks.

Yes

Hi, do the students need to print out the handouts themselves or the teacher will distribute hardcopies?

[yin3]

One more question, is there any CCA that will require the students to go back to school on Saturdays?

Print themselves

I can see many anxious Sec 1 parents here. This is normal cos I went through it some 4 / 5 years ago. My boy is now going JC1.


However, I will suggest that parent should ask questions that will allow them to better understand the system as a whole in HCI, not the details or how to get things done (i.e. not what to wear, CCA arrangement, printing,…). The boys will definitely be told what is expected and what they should do. If they fail to do it on their own, they will have to learn now. ‘Doing it for them’ at this stage will not help them. Thinking that giving them another two years to mature have proven to me that it won’t work too.

Seriously, join the respectively Consortium PSG to get to know the system better, to get the necessary support you need, get to know the DC/ADC, interact with fellow parents both to learn and size things up, and have great fun + joy to see how our boy will grow into a young man.

To add what the DC of my DS’s consortium always mentioned. We have to trust the school that they know what they are doing as it is their ‘business’, and we should trust the teachers that they are well trained and are interested in the grooming of our DS. Thus what parents should do is to work WITH the school (or consortium) as the boys progress. 大家加油。
