My DS has class til 5.30pm on 12 Jan and 5pm on 13 Jan.
How to go?
Does the sch normally allow them to dismiss early for the oipen house if we write in to request?

Should write to / sms the FT and ask for permission for your kid to leave early so you can bring him to the open houses. Definitely important for kid & parent to get a feel of the JCs - earlier in the year better, so that he can decide early.

when does O level start?

Hi, there's only a tentative timetable now, the detailed timetable will only be available on 22/2/2016 according to the link below. Didn't know that there is a make-up date for O level Orals prior to this.

All the best to your ds, jiayou and work hard towards his dream school, NP

Thanks, CatMoon!
My DS school very funny, only arrange them for Poly openhouse but did not arrange for JC openhouse, but his FT recommended my son to go JC. :scratchhead:

Hardly surprising.
Difference between JC and sec school, besides the workload, is very minimal. Poly, on the other hand, is worlds apart from sec school. Better to let them know what they are getting into.

Some schools will bring their students for such open houses too

Just to check are your DC school started to load them with test papers practice or the engine is still warming up only?
