Looking for kcs 2018 p1 parents to form fb groups or wa groups.

Hi i am considering whether to register my child this year for P1 at Kheng Cheng. Can I know more information about the school - i know some good schools place emphasis on the top few classes in P5 and P6 only by assigning good teachers there. The rest are very much left on their own. On the other hand, i read in an earlier post from a parent of P1 child here that the homework is ‘too basic’ but that was few years back. Can parents with children at kheng cheng share more of how things are now? Is there an open house? Many thanks in advance.

Hallo, Kheng Cheng did v v well in last year’s PSLE. Highest 275, 274, 271. Quite a number with 25+, 259, 26+. Popular schools of choice are Hwa Chong, Nanyang, St Nicholas, Cedar, SJi, Zhong Hua, Chung Cheng High (main).
There’s 6 classes for P5/6. All are drilled according to their ability. No one is left on their own. Teachers are v hardworking and dedicated here and the kids mostly do not hv tuition. Even if they do, they go to the more economical tuition ctrs nearby. Many foreigners here as well : ) They hv a small cohort of 232-238 P6ers every year. -
For sch wk, I wld say the difficulty level is gettg higher in this school esp from 2013 onwards. And hw will increase by ALOT from P5 onwards. Not much hw for P1-P3.
They dont do HMT till P5, children who does HMT hv band 1 in all P4 subjects. But it is an opt-in thing, not compulsory. Those doing MT hv even better MT grades than those doing HMT : ) And there are many here who choose not to do HMT. A number of children who is strong in Chinese are allowed to do HMT even if they are weaker in other subjects. I think it’s fine not to do HMT. Kids here still do HMT in sec sch anyways. Btw, malay students do v well here too. -

I forgot to mention they head for Cat High, Maris Stella too. The preferred schools for top scorers here are Hwa Chong, Nanyang, Cedar. The non-Chinese (Malays and foreigners who dont do Chinese) top scorers go Raffles though.Hallo, Kheng Cheng did v v well in last year's PSLE. Highest 275, 274, 271.

what's the minimum requirement for Chinese score @ end of P4 year end, before able to proceed with HCL, start of P5 a new academic year ?
eg
is it minimum 85 or minimum > 90 score for Chinese, at end of P4 ?
(band 1 : start from 85, and above) -

Minimum 85 for all subjects (EMSC) at P4. If child has less than 85 for EMS (I am unsure how much) but more than 90 for Chinese, can appeal to do HMT.
In my child's P5 class, there's a classmate with 50+ in ES and 60+ in M, 70+ in C doin HMT. This class oso has children with 90+ in MS, 80+ in EC, who do and do not do HMT. All are taught the same and the weaker ones can stay behind after school to consult the teachers. I like the fact that teachers will make those who doesn't do hw stay behind and they will be supervised to do them.
Do you know what is St Hilda's pri reqm for EMSC at P4 to do HMT at P5? : ) -
Hi ilovelaksa, I really envy your school. In my son’s school Pei Chun, all focus are on the A class only, since P5. The other classes are left on their own and did not do well at all. Good teachers are deployed to top class. We have big cohort of about 360 but number of students getting above 250 is low. Needless to say, almost all from A class. Number of students going into NA also increased. I am very worried for my son who is in an average class. External tuition is the only source of help.

By right, good experienced Tr should teach both Top & last class, for obvious reasons. Is the weaker class that need more help, more attention from the Subject Teachers.

If I can turn back the clock, I will definitely enrol my son in Kheng Cheng, for the obvious reasons too.
