I know of a school that changes the top classes' numbering yearly, so it's inconspicuous for a slightly longer time. In a way, it helps the weaker students not to feel so inferior.
No matter where you place the 4 classes, it is very easy to tell.... unless the kid is totally bochap and happy-go-lucky type.....i mentioned before, they will compare worksheet... somehow, i believe they will get to know within weeks....parents will ask and compare too....very difficult to conceal.... -
First posting in this popular thread.
For those whose kids are above average in this school, can relax a bit. As long as your kids are showing consistency, their PSLE results should not dissappoint.
Emphasis on character building, expose to sports and arts, effective communications skills are other key areas they should focus. Don’t stress kids out uneccessary for addition few pts to gain entry to RI/HCI/RGS/NYGH by sending them to all kinds of tuitions. Is actually not require. T-score above 240 is decent and 250 and above is already coommendable. Let kids explore themselves as this is an area we parents should focus to develop independent learning and critical thinking skills.
Good cca record, robust character and communication skills are just as important. -

Agree with U on the Importance of CCA, Character Development, etc.
However P don't seem to think like US - leh!
On this CCA development aspect, in PH Parents will have to take on Larger Role to find and plan your own path. In another words, B MORE KS :lol: :lol: ....
School is Not \"GREAT\" when it comes to this Dept ..... Not very supportive-lah! -

That’s why must select secondary school carefully. Need to excercise wisdom in this respect. Excellence in ccas, character building, independent learning etc all these may be invisible at pri level but they are all critical at sec level. You will see for yourself later that many who excel at pri and sec may not do that well at pre-uni level.
Choose the cca you believe your child can excel and fully support it. Any mistake made change quickly. Top schools may be suitable for top PSLE performers but may not be suitable for many others good performers.
Hope you get the hint. God bless. -

Yes, I do. What I mean that the present system of showing this in P3 (till P6 assuming also receive) is good enough. Don't need to explicitly indicate the position and level to stds. Internally, the school can then promote them according to whatever criteria/rules. To encourage them, the school can award perhaps top five stds without revealing their position in class. In that way, the stds in the weaker class will feel good too. This is just a suggestion.comfy:
Perhaps at level 3 onwards, can just indicate the mean & highest/lowest scores within the class and cohort. When a std reaches P5 or P6, there will be an indicator to let them know what is his/her PSLE score would be like, so that they will know where they stand.
After every CA / SA, together with the Report Book - My Gal Always bring Back a Sheet of Summary Table
- Showing Each of the Subject's Highest / Lowest / Avg Score in the Level as well as in her Class. My Gal's Score in Each of the subject is indicated in the Table as Well.
So it is Quite easy to see where she stand among her Classmates / her peers in the Same Level.
Do U Receive this?

As for Secondary School, it's still a Bit \"Pre-matured\" at this stage to decide which to Target for ....
Need to see whether she Got the \"Liao\" to apply for the school or Not when her report Book is Returned to us Next Tue .... -

I am pleased that you are adopting wise habits. As long as your kid can maintain level position within the top 100 consistently, that’s good results. The approach is laying foundation for the training of critical thinking at later stage.
As for the ‘liao’ just leave it to God.
