Hi ter_wen,

Yes they have exams, both mid year and year end. The class ranking depends on the exams only. Actually I think this is more relaxing

Today I was there to register my boy too. I left at 12:30pm, still have not bought the school uniform ! Spent too much time queuing for textbooks and PE uniform. Sian...

Hi paperfish,

West Grove does not produce a large number of students scoring 260 and above. I counted last year, only about 10% of the students do that well. The majority scores around 200. One of my colleague put her kids there because she stays very near, then she complained to me : \"这么烂的学校， 为什么这么多人想要报名 ？\"

Actually the school is fine lah. My girl is there, going to P2 next year, and I have no complains. If we want our kids to do well, parents have to put in the effort to teach them at home. Even those attending the top primary schools also have to attend a lot of tuition classes.
