Pardon me, but why moving to a holding sch can affect PSLE?

Moving sch location is a lot like moving house. There'll be a lot of unfamilarity and disruptions (eg logistics issues if far away from current location). P6 is the year where there should be minimal disruptions so that all can focus on the exams. That's why I heard that P6 students this yr are exempted from YOG/NDP events.

Haha. It's just that when her FT informed them of the move, she specifically mentioned that it's their PSLE YEAR so I guess it could be to prepare them mentally for the disruption of the move and adjustments to new environment.

Ytd, my P3 boy told me Mrs Foo gave a talk last Fri, saying the sch will be moving to a holding sch in 2012 and there is to be some expansion going on at the existing site so that the sch can go single session.


Ask him moving to where or for how long, he said he did not know (maybe Mrs Foo did not mention?)

Anyone heard sth similar?

Mrs Foo give a talk ? Does it sounds like the \"news\" is being announced during the school assembly session to the students ? :?
If really so....then perhaps a lot of P3-P6 students could have heard of the announcement. Can any upper primary students parents help to verify ?

[quote=\"E3\"]My dd was not in school last Friday. However she mentioned a couple of weeks back that her FT told the class that they will be placed in a holding school in 2014 (my dd's P6 year :roll:). Mrs Foo could have announced an updated plan on Friday during my dd's absence.


If it's like what comfy's dd had mentioned, the school would have completed reno and be ready for single-session by 2016 (government's plan) within that two years.

markfch, hopefully by 2016, the school would have gone single-session and your ds's PSLE should not be affected.

aiyo... like that my dd with be affected as she will take her psle in 2005.

U want to type 2015 right?[/quote]yes, typo error, shd be 2015

2016 is the year ALL primary schools have to go single-session.

I am waiting for confirmation now - which year is Pei Hwa moving to temporary holding school ?

Hi markfch,
Thanks for the clarification.
P6 students are exempted from NDP previews and other events which affect their supplementary lessons and revision for the most important exam b4 leaving primary school.

Thanks E3. Even though I don't wish ds's psle yr to be disrupted by relocation, I also don't wish it to happen for your dd's psle yr too.

But for your dd, there is a soln. Ready?

It's called G......E......P (hope I'm not stressing you ).

Hi E3,

So it’s 2014 that Pei Hwa is moving to temporary school ?
We all don’t wish one another’s kids to be affected by the move during PSLE. Let’s pray hard lah, but 2016 is the year ALL primary schools have to go single-session. So, it looks like we can’t escape one way or the other.

Uhmmm....that's what I last heard from my dd but the year doesn't seem to correspond to the year Jennifer's ds mentioned. It's better to wait for clarification from other parents.
