hi hi,I am keen to send my son to edgefield sec, but new to north east region. Any feedback on the sch culture and sch teachers?

Thanks

I'm going to be a Sec 4 next year in EFSS. I was also extremely new to North East region so i got lost a lot in the first week of Sec1... school culture wise, i would note one thing, most of the students here are chinese and their chinese papers are hell and worse imo hahaha,,, i heard from my malay friends that the malay papers are very difficult too. and just like other schools, we have a fair share of good and bad teachers. one thing to note is PHONE LOCKERS. for sec 1 and sec 2 students, their phone will be confiscated and placed in a phone locker in their classes and locked up, so if you'd like to contact your child, you'll have no choice but to contact the school general office to page your child down and use their phone to contact you, which is a really big hassle smh... a good thing is that this year they will relocate all lockers right outside your classes so sec 3 students like us wont have to climb 3 floors down to get a book. (also, no staying in classes or directly outside classes during recess) thats all i can think for now haha

Anyone knows this year , Edgefield has combined Express, Normal n Normal Tec in the same class for sec 1?

Heard from one parent. Seems that it was not explicitly message during open house and school registration day.

Is this inline with MOE subject based banding?

[Joelleng]

School did not address this to parents at all.

So how? I am asking my friend to speak to the teacher.

Seems like that. From new timesheet, I can see some subjects split to 3 sessions.

[Joelleng]

Yes, EL, Math , Sci n Chinese will split class. The rest remain the same
