HappyFaye:

Thanks Ganjiongspider! You have an intesting nickname

I have a boy from neighbourhood sch and a girl from sngs. The main difference was the amount of work they had in upper pri. My boy was really relaxed with max 1 hr school work in his p6 year. My girl spent minimally 2 hrs with one practice paper after another. Both made it to ip with their own learning pace and push from schools.

Sngs is really a good school with strong 姐妹bonding and my youngest girl is looking forward to join sngs. Just that this mummy here is not ready to see the girl struggle with completing homework again. i want to be mentally prepared.

Well, the way I see it. There is a reason why St Nicks is so sought after and why results are above average as compared to the other schools. At the end of the day, no pain no gain. I do not see the need to send my daughter for additional classes outside of school because I know the school will push her sufficiently. As long as she is keeping up with the school work, I am confident that she will do decently in the national examinations. Helps that I am no tiger-mum and she doesn't have to do anything else. She understands that she just need to finish up the school work and the rest of the day is for her to play and do the things she enjoy, like playing piano and swimming.

My gal is really slow when it comes to doing things, whether it's hw, eating or even getting ready to go out! School has helped her to slowly improve her pace but there is still room for improvement. So it is not uncommon for us to spend hours finishing up the hw!

Hihi, hope someone can enlighten me. Am I right that even in phrase 2B (parent volunteer), there’s still a need to ballot?

Yes. They are streamed into different classes once every two years, ie P3 and P5 based on their performance.
