not noticeable for the past 4 months, positively

at least for this initial 4 months she is seen to be very hands on to have a good grasp of what is on the ground

and she would have sat in quite a number of classes already

Is she very open-door concept like the previous P who is very approachable?

from the few encounters, yes, approachable, and hands on to see an issue for herself so that she knows what is on the ground

Is NYPS one of the 16 schools doing away with P1 exams?

May be can call up the school and ask

Personally I think doing away with exams will end up like some angmo countries which do not have exams and the standard of what they learnt will drop like a stone

exams is still a transparent and relatively fair basis to judge the learning progress of the kids....so far there is still no better instrument to measure learning progress (my own opinion only)

My P1 girl already does not have exam this year. Think they will only have SA2 for P2.

P2 only has SA2 this year. But they will have ‘holistic’ assessments throughout the year. Make up certain % towards year-end results.


Understand P1 & P2 will not have any SA starting next year.

Heard that they try to "stream" students by P3 for purposes of preparation for gifted exams? Hmmm…any truth in this?

[anxiousmummy123]

Anyone can verify this, Nanyang Primary does not practice stating down their students position in class in their student’s report book, is it true? Any kind soul?
