Townsville Primary

clueless:

Understand in some other schools that students are given a short test before allocating them into classes.


How does TVPS allocate pupils into classes in pri 1?

No, they dont do any test, the kids just randomly put into the various classes. School will let you kn what class your kid is in wks before orientation. But after school reopens, my ds mention dat they do a 'practice paper' for the subjects. I think the tests are to identify kids who are weak and send them to language, math n MT support pgm.

noobie:

does anyone have the details of the new studentcare @ TVPS?? can the students go to the studentcare during school holidays too???? thanks.

Noobie,

Didnt you get a letter from school via your kid about studentcare? Anyway,they have appointed City Community Services as the service provider. If you are interested,enrolment is at the school canteen from 9am-12pm on 9,11,14,15 and 27 Dec. Monthly fees is $240, studentcare is open during school holidays. Letters did mention you must bring along fotocopy of child bc, and both parents nric.

May I know the curriculum hours for this school (Upper Primary) and is there any Contact Time (if yes what’s the school hour on that day)? Thank you.

Jmom:

Thanks, Pokemon.

Then I have to worry, my DD SA2 results drop drastically.
Will there be further streaming or they will stick to their class from P3 all the way to P6?

Jmon,

Izit the SA2 paper v difficult? P2 SA2 paper tk up 70% and 30% are other component.

Unfortunately, from p3 onwards, there will be streaming yearly. For P3/4, there are 2 top classes but P5/6 only 1 top class.

I would like to ask you if your DD attended the creative writing enrichment class during term 2 and 3? How is it?

Hi Pokemon,


I think next year there are some change for the timing for the wed for afternoon. I recently receive letter informing that their class will start at 2.30pm. I can’t remember is there any change for morning session.

Hi Pokemon, think in P1 the chinese is easier, but his killer is the comprehension. the maths paper is the problem solve. english no issue.


My DD did attend the creative writing class in term 2 & term 3. Didn’t really see much improvement in his composition.

Monster Mummy:

Hi noobie,


Is it the paper getting tougher. Does P2 allow the student to bring back the paper for parents to sign.

yes, they will bring back for parents to sign...
