What is the aim for setting up a school? 办学的目的是什么？孔子说 ：有教无类 Teaching Without Distinction.

What are the issues of shifting a primary school to a new campus and becoming a co--ed school? Some claimed the move will 'destroy the culture and ethos\" of the school. Then what is the \"culture and the ethos\" of the school? To provide education for boys from the rich who stay around the present campus? In my parents day, most girls didn't have much chance to receive education, do we mean this culture have to be preserved?

Things are very clear. 公道自在人心. I don't understand why need to have so many discussions on the shift of a school. Is it because some alumni or the rich are unhappy as their kids have to take longer travelling time to the new campus? But the school is not a private school which only serves the interest of this group of people. What is wrong for a school to have a new campus and increase its cohort size so that more kids can be enrolled in the school.[/quote]

Can, no problem. I post it here originally because I am afraid the site admin may remove it if I post it in the ACSP thread. :nailbite: 一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井繩.

Just curious, what are schools doing for P6 Assessment this year now that \"SA1\" (or mid-year) has been eliminated?

One of my kid's school seems to be going with just non-weighted FAs in Term 1 and Term 2. I.e. no WAs or CAs that will make up a \"grade/mark\" in the report book for T1, T2, and Semester 1.

Hi, since forummer Smartiepants55 brought up the post...

Our P6s have non weighted assessments in Terms 1 and 2 as well, much like back in P5.

Well this is my youngest right, so naturally we formulate our own revision plans, & have long begun preparing for the August oral exams as well as the paper 1s evidently. Our school chinese writings are still pretty much leisure enrichment like write-ups of local/ traditional dishes; same as english writings which centre around expository topics. These are fine by us, cos my kid has gotten used to such assignments & works efficiently

Then of course, we have been using actual past year psle exam questions to practise the bits & pieces, trying out mini time trials. The idea is to familiarise the child with exam conditions, so that she feels comfortable in her own way (for instance, understanding her writing speed, not panicking when an unforseen circumstance occurs)

In fact, she has reflected on her routines, & we actually have more leisurely time this year!!

Oh my..suddenly I feel my heart beating faster :faint: still as usual no revision just helping her with Maths hw on and off. But I do notice this year's Math hw getting 'very' difficult..dd is like only know 50%. I do hope the cher is stretching them.


I haven't ask her read her Science since P5! I just do Math with her. I m totally hands off on her lang don't know what they doing since she has tuition on these. I really need to wake up wake up!

Wow could you share how do you prep for p1 and orals? How do you use the psle questions to time/trial when it’s only February, since the school probably hasn’t finished teaching..
