Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

Dear parents,


My DS just transferred to PeiHwa Primary December this year, he will be in P4 next year(2016). Only until now, we got information that he is assigned to class 1. May I know some information that when you received the notification of the class assignment if your DS/DD also transferred to PeiHwa at end of this year? and what is your class assignment? Heard that class 1 is the lowest level class. Not sure this is true? My DS passed the GEP 1st around and also within top 10 in his current school, so I believe his academic result shouldn't be that bad. Not sure the policy of PeiHwa to assign new transferred student. Hope to get some information from you. Thanks.

It also depends on whether your DS is taking HCL?
If not, he may be placed in class 1 which I am guessing is the best of non-HCL pupils.

For P4, all taking HCL....4T1 should be MA class....For transferred students, unlikely to be placed in top 2 classes in their first year....Each year, probably there are more than 100 students clearing GEP round 1 in PH.

So work hard during P4 and move on to top 2 class during P5/6....

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I understood the priority should be kept for the existing students for the top classes. I agree that he still has chance to move on to top 2 class during P5/6. I just worried he is assigned to the worst class as I heard that the teachers spent quite a lot time to discipline the kids in those classes and they even don't have enough time to teach the curriculum in detail.

By the way, may I know what MA class stands for? :oops:
Thanks.

MA stands for Mixed Ability...provided there is no change to the way the school allocates the classes....

Book list for P3


Dear mommies with kids going P3 next year,
I noted we have to buy one story book; The BFG by Roald Dahl.
Is any one not buying this from the book list; if you already have that same book (but the front cover is different)?

I'm not sure if the kids are suppose to read it at home or in class - any mommies in P3 this year (2015) can advise?

Appreciate your feedback ya.

Hi,mommy2two.

The last time, we got DS one from Popular.cover is diff.No problem.Most kids start reading at beginning of year,and brought it to school everyday but tr only used it in T$. If I remember correctly, only 2 or 3 hw on that one character analysis one something.Nothing major.
Intro to Literature only.

Thanks, Maple leaf!

Dear parents


My ds is new to Pei Hwa this year- he’s in 3R3. I find this forum very helpful in getting to know more about the school. Parents of the class, do include me in any what’s app group for the class if available. Thank you.
