already received the letter from the Chong Fu.


There is a screening test on28 Aug and Orientation on 25 Sep.

Heard from a colleague whose kid went to Chong Fu last year that the screening test seems to be used to group the students into the various classes based on their abilities.

Its like a test to determine the smart ones and the ones that need revision classes!!

Not sure if it is true cos i do not have any experience in that. Maybe some parents with Chong Fu can confirm?? :?

RECEIVED. How come the orientation so early???

[snggy]

Chongfu's orientation are normally done in Sep. It was the same for my son 2 years ago. My younger son will also be going this Sep for the orientation.


The screening test was a \"move\" that was started last year. It's likely used for class allocation.

I heard the same thing for Nan Qiao last year. Nan Qiao admitted that they use this to allocate the pupils to the classes. Has anyone heard any backlash from parents on this? This "streaming" seems so inappropriate and starts even before P1 when there isnt a level playing field yet.

So early??? I though normally parents will purchase text books, uniforms and school bus arrangment on the orientation day. :?

screening test for Chinese only bah? as NanQiao also a Huey Kuan school...


if also screen Math and Eng, i.e., their practice is to allocate kids into class according to abilility, then they will have to do so every year from P1?

Hi

Thanks for all the replies.

Cannot move closer to the school liao......will be getting my key in Sept. I chose Chongfu becos there are not a lot of fantastic schools in Sembawang area (no offence to anyone, please) and this is the nearest to us (in a way).

Once i settle my house, i will be applying for PV. I want to be KS even though my DD is just 3.

Hi titank
If can donate, i will sure try to find the $$$. Want to push up her chance of getting into the school.

Btw, if i want to join clan, what clan should i be joining?

I think i'm more KS than you. :lol:

My son is also born in 2007, currently staying within 1km to 2km of Chong Fu, but in the process of buying a flat within 1km of Chong Fu.
