Hi Smurfs..

My boy's CCA is also 3 times a week, but he still has energy (& time) to play soccer after CCA..

It's definitely better that our boys are playing in school than hanging out at malls. I've noticed that CHS boys don't really like to hang out at malls. I hardly see them loitering around Junction-8.

For EOY Science exam, only Physics will be tested (if there's no change from last year)..

Yes, it is a fun school.

My DS was from CHS Primary. He insisted on going back to CHS Secondary although I tried to persuade him to go to a \"better\" school. He said he saw the CHS Secondary boys enjoying their school life, are very happy, and he can see a lot of camaraderie in them. There is no competitive mood at all. And that was what he likes.

DS says he enjoyed himself very much now. Although school work can be tough, esp with all the projects, but he enjoys the friendships.

He & his friends also stays back & play at the fitness corner in the school. They also don't hangout at J8.

Yes, I also saw a lot of other nearby schools' students hanging out at J8.

CHS seems not to be very strict with hp usuage? Or is it all the same in other sec sch? DS said that most of his classmates stayed in classrooms over recess and played hp games.

My boy told me the EL paper was a 'killer' and the marking was extremely strict. He said his classmates who usually score A1/A2 for EL, got B3 this time. My boy's EL also dipped by almost 10 marks. At first, I thot he was just giving excuses. So now, can I minus-2 from his EL grade to feel better ? [/quote]Nay, I think we should just lobby for them to add+2 to the EL grade to make us feel better
[quote]I can't rem if the result slip shows the level's highest & lowest, mean & medium scores for each subject, and the percentile our boys are at. Hopefully, it does.[/quote]In the past, the result slip showed the percentile of each subject as well as respective teacher's comments. Hw it has since been removed. Hope they can reinstate, particularly for this year YR 2 EL, we need to know the reason for the lower marks mah.

DS left for school about 7+ this morning. He's involved in CCA performances @ CHS OH today. Hope the wet weather does not affect the attendance and/or dampen the mood at the OH.. :gloomy:
