Does anyone know if streaming is done at the end of P2 as well? That is, the girls will be separated into High Ability Classes and Mixed Ability Classes at P3?

That is, the girls will be separated into High Ability Classes and Mixed Ability Classes at P3?

Yes, streaming had been done for 2017 P2 girls (born 2009), they are the pioneering batch to sit for the new PSLE AL (Achievement level) system, to be implemented in 2021. From 2021, the current PSLE T-score system will become history.

For 2018 P3 :
There are three HA (High Ability) classes, plus another three MA (Mixed Ability) classes.

2017 P2 parents, who had been sleuthing (detective work) around, after P3 class allocation results came out, they would be able to tell which are these three 2018 P3 HA classes, randomly allocated by Top 120 pupils, at the end of 2017 P2 streaming. By now, a number of P2 parents already know which are the 2018 P3 HA classes.

The girls will stay & remain in the same class for the next two years ahead (2018 P3, followed by 2019 P4). At the end of 2019 P4, they will be streamed again for one more time, into 2020 P5 new class allocation.

During this period, any Transfer student from outside schools who managed to Transfer into SNGS primary successfully : are only allowed to join any of the three MA (Mixed Ability) classes.
Transfer students from outside schools, are Not allowed, to join any of the Top three classes. This has been our school (SNGS primary) practice.

Thanks phtthp. We do notice that the top 3 girls from all the P2 classes seem to be congregated in 2 P3 classes for 2018, but not sure if there is a 3rd class.

From 2021 onwards, for 2021 P6 (psle) student, born 2009, for each of the 4 subjects, how many A or A ☆ are required, before one can go back to affliated SNGS (O level)?


AL 1 : 90 and above

AL2 : 85 to 89


AL3 : 80 to 84

AL4 : 75 to 79

Etc

Hi

I noticed that there are no Chinese Compo exam pads in P3. Are the girls taught 作文 in P3?
Thanks.

[phtthp]

You can buy Chinese compo pad yourself, from our school bookshop. Around $1.60, per zuowen pad.


Chinese Teacher did issue some guidance notes to the whole P3 class, like how to use certain basic good phrases " hao ci hao ju" for opening / beginning paragraph, for rainy or sunny weather, & for writing basic conclusion paragraph, that type.

However, personally, i find the zuowen guidance notes issued by our school, too brief.

In the end, end up there were still many classmates in her (2016 p3 and 217 p4) class, who continued to attend
zuowen tuituon centre, outside.

They either attended outside tuition centre (zuowen), although a handful did attend zuowen enrichment held once a week, taught by an external lao shi hired, where this outside Teacher borrowed our St Nick classroom premises, to conduct weekly zuowen lessons. Note that this Teacher is Not our St Nick lao shi, but an external, outside Tr. Yes, there were a couple of p2 to p6 students, who attended her weekly zuowen class, because of convenience, since is after school, & held at our own school premises.


At St nick primary, besides Chinese zuowen tuition, there were many classmates from her class, who also attended English / Maths / Science tuition, outside. At least, thats what i observed, from her class.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I gather that additional help would be needed to 作文 then.
Would you mind sharing about P3 English compo too?
Thank you for your time.

Hi all!


My daughter will be starting P1 in 2018 and the school bus operator was telling me that the pick up from Hougang is around 6 am so that they can go ferry other people after dropping off the kids at SNGS. Wondering if anyone else who needs transportation for the kids would be keen to share a private transport ( 7 seater) from Hougang to SNGS.

Kindly PM me if you are keen.
