Most schools usually conduct a small test during orientation, so that they will group the students in classes. But this is not done in Beacon, my daughter did not take any test last year during her orientation.

Understand from my daughter was that they were brought around the school, while the parents stayed in the hall for some briefing.

My daughter is in the last class, cos I waited till the last day when there was no crowd when I registered, thus she is in the last class.

My girl came back today and told me she had 2 common tests today, English & Maths. Anyone know anything about this? Is it a mock test?


She also mentioned next week will be her last session of swimming and they will be tested based on the ‘freestyle’ strokes???

I am also not aware of the mock test. I tot the tests will be in Sep. I only aware that there is a mock for CL on Friday. Yes, next week will be the last lesson for swimming total 7 and there will be a test. But when I asked my boy yesterday he said the instructor did not mention anything. So does it mean that student can swim their own stroke?
