iRabbit:

Do supplementary lessons start at P5 or P6?


I asked in my ds's sch thread before but there was no reply.

With 2 CCAs, I worry that ds may have to stay back in school often.

supplementary lessons start at primary 5.

DS school only had remedial class in P5. Looks like every school has its own way of administering supplementary class.

I remember my son had supplementary lessons starting in p5.
he was so tired on those days. at p6, I took him out completely.

For ds (p5 this year), there is a possibility of supplementary class for higher chinese but no dates confirmed. For the rest of the subjects, no news.


I flipped thru 2014 school letters and note that p6 have supplementary classes thrice a week after school. Compulsory.

P1-4, only remedial classes.


But that's for my ds's school.

I don't mind once a week at P5. With 2 CCA, anything more will be too tiring as ds has tuitions on weekdays too.

For how many subjects? Meaning his afternoons are all occupied?

Thanks Janet. So far haven't heard any news on supplementary lessons yet.

Hope it stays that way.

irabbit,

I receive love letters regarding supplementary lessons not long after school started…I call any memos/letters from school ‘love letters’. kids will put them on my table to sign or acknowledge.
your son is high calibre…you sure no supplementary lessons?

I think So (the part in red). Tofu boy's school has announced that supp class will begin in t2 from p1 onwards. The time table is also out. At the moment, it's just \"who\" (will be attending).

I assume supplementary lessons are compulsory while remedial are for the weaker students.
