Not compulsory for CCA for primary sch kids. But it will always be good to join. And if they like the CCA, they can continue to do the CCA in secondary. Cos in secondary, the CCA selection criteria is even more stringent than current.

I know there was a boy in my ds' class in p1 that had a shadow teacher. Didn't have by p2.

I don't pretend to know the answer to this and truly hope they do! Let me know if you ever find out!

According to my son, though, some teachers seem really strict and unforgiving if you forget stuff etc. There are relatively consistent threats of punishment for those who can't keep up. (not grades but for poor behavior or forgetting stuff) But they may be more forgiving if they know of the underlying situation.

3 of the boys in my son's class are supposedly \"scolded\" by some teachers almost daily for not keeping up or talking etc. Do take note that it's a young boy's report tho. Catholic High looks like an well-oiled efficient machine. I'm not so sure they have teachers to spare. I do know what you speak of though. Whilst overseas, we had the chance to watch Learning Support teachers at work. These were awesome for those who needed a little nudge in the right direction. Typically for kids who had atrocious handwriting, problems paying attention or other mild disabilities.

If you follow this link on Allied Educators:
https://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/support-for-children-special-needs[quote]AEDs(LBS) support students with mild special educational needs such as dyslexia, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by: - See more at: https://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/support-for-children-special-needs#sthash.oqIuo9u4.dpuf[/quote]I'm not sure it will be enough tho. Do check it out and give MOE a call maybe or Catholic High itself?

Hi, was wondering if every boy has to do higher Chinese from P1, or can choose to do so when they reach P5.

Was told that for Maris Stella, it’s the latter.
Not sure with CHS.
