Just saw this heartening update. It's close to 2 months since the boy's father was diagnosed and hospitalized. Really hope he can pull through.

No instructions yet.

But kid brought home some hard copy Chinese worksheets. Teacher told them to date it 1 April 2020 & don’t do yet cos that’s their “home” work to do on Wednesday.

We are supposed to receive the official instructions from the various subject teachers via Parent Gateway, soon I think. Or on Wed itself.

Don’t stress yourself so much. Won’t die if don’t hand up on time. Sure can get extension if u have various reasons can’t do.

Possibly for the P5/P6, the teachers may go beyond their duty and do live conferencing, but I doubt so at this point. They are all scrambling with this last-min notice.

Update from one of our subject teachers:

30 min “offline” homework (the hard copy worksheets that the kid brought home).

30 min “online” homework, login to SLS.

Other subjects, if any assignments, will be posted on SLS/Parents Gateway after 8am tomorrow.

Don’t need to all rush to login at 8am. Just login whenever the kid wakes up, after leisurely breakfast etc. Own time own target. Cannot complete won’t die.

Please take note that home-based learning for primary schools will start from tomorrow (Wednesday April 1) and every Wednesday thereafter.


To address concerns of parents, the MOE has compiled a kit to explain how home-based learning will work, and how parents can support their children's learning during this period.

The Parent Kit will be sent to parents through the Parents Gateway, a digital platform to get updates from schools and the ministry.

Thanks for sharing. No issue if the HBL is for 1 or 2 weeks, but for longer terms, I will have to work with studentcare or plan for alternative.

[zac's mum]

We have received (via PG) the daily “plan“ for tmr’s HBL. It seems quite straightforward to follow. There’s another HBL on 8 April 2020 according to MOE.


Since you are taking leave for the first day, I think for P5 it is reasonable for u to watch them login on their own, and attempt the online assignments on their own.

Maybe u can alternate (take turns) for your 2 kids. Eg when one is using computer, the other do the hard copy homework or do assessment book. Get them into this routine. Break to rest their eyes.

Then they can stick to the same routine at student care. If student care don’t have computer, then maybe they bring own laptop, but be wary of theft.

HBL arranged by schools, last for how many session ?


is it for 2 weeks, or last until end of Term 2 ?

[zac's mum]

My school said 2 weeks, MOE that side never give end date. So I just assume after 2 weeks will continue lor. Everything is very fluid and dependent on the virus situation anyway.


I’m almost going crazy. Working from home & still workload super busy (although US clients have asked to defer any Billings till as long as possible)…this tuition using one platform, another tuition using another platform, school using another platform, all must print worksheets beforehand, every single one got different login & password, download this app & that app…luckily I told the music & sports to just stop pestering me. Suspend lessons until I’m sane again.
