Hi Daisyt,
How’s the y2 briefing today ? What about the subject combi selection for yr 3? Is it compulsary to take all 3 pure sciences ? -
justsay:
my ds not in mr yeo's class. he score only c6 but most of his classmates are at this range. teacher also comments that sec 1 level done badly for HMT. hope there will be moderation or else pull down his GPA
Is your son in Mr Yeo's class? My dd had the same comment in one of her compo as well.
My dd said Mr Yeo read out some good compo he picked from y1 mid year exam. If she didnt remember wrongly, one of them scores 51/70.
DD scores C5, she says she ranks 17/34 in class for HMT, which means more than half the class get below B4. I believe school will moderate their marks at the end of the year, otherwise more than half of them wont be able to qualify for full promotion. -

probably put hm in xue er you lang open by dr liang wen foo. my dd (now year 5) was under him b4 during her 'o' level preparation. she said it helps as she managed to secure A2 but her result in RV was always C5 or B4. hwever, the schdl was on weekday at 6.15pm, i wonder will it be too tire for ds to attend the class. still lookg for weekend class
Hi Stressy, same goes for my dd. Please let me know if you come across a good enrichment centre. Thank you.stressy:
anyone know of any chinese creative writing class in enrichment centre.
my ds did well for his mid year except HMT. -

The talk by P is good. The sch is trying to pull up e standard. No more O lvl class frm next year. No more moderation of marks, he said if the kids cannot meet the passing GPA, either retain or transfer to other sch. He sounded serious on this. No pure 3 science, max is 2 pure sciences & 1 science can be elective subject. He also emphasised on moral & character building.Hi Daisyt,

justsay, your dd also wrote on 一个品学兼优的人? The GPA for year 1 promotion is 2.0, 1/2 of them won't be able to qualify for full promotion ?? :?

hi daisyt
tks for yr reply. ds didnt do well in compo writing .一个品学兼优的人 he wrote a story on him, how he helps friends but teacher comments 记人不记事 probably want him to write his character instead of linkg a story to it. so i think ds still using his primary sch technique to do compo, he likes to write story to relate to title of composition.
My dd said Mr Yeo read out some good compo he picked from y1 mid year exam. If she didnt remember wrongly, one of them scores 51/70.
DD scores C5, she says she ranks 17/34 in class for HMT, which means more than half the class get below B4. I believe school will moderate their marks at the end of the year, otherwise more than half of them wont be able to qualify for full promotion.
I checked with dd, she told me year 2, one of the question was 一个值得你XX的人 (something like this, cannot remember the exact words). Usually she would not pick this type of question as she finds is not easy to tackle. Not many students would pick this type of question too. Usually the events students described can be not powerful or strong enough to support the 品学兼优 or XX. -
According to P, the school wants the students to study constantly throughout the year, and not wait till mid year or end of year the last few weeks, and chiong.
He sounded serious about the no moderation and if fail to promote, either retain or transfer to other school, because his tone changed when he touched on this.
I think the school is moving the right direction. His talk about moral, character development and the example of rubber band are quite in par with my believe too.

GPA 2.0, dont forget they need HMT and English to be B4 and above to qualify for full promotion. Otherwise is considered as advance and that is provided they meet other criteria like CCA attendance etc. Isn't like that last year ?
No, my dd chose another topic, but she got the same comment as Stressy's son in one of her daily assignment. -

Ya, I forget about the B4 in HMT and English :oops:
What I have heard for last year was, promotion with conditions. They would promote you but some conditions have to be met in the next few months of the next year. Maybe like, you need to show improvement. This was what I heard, not sure how true.
