DD in P2 this year and will be P3 next year. They do have streaming, but for top 3 classes only and the top 120 students in academic performance will be place in Diligence, Endurance and Friendship. Don't know whether they will continue this arrangement for the subsequent year, anyhow the school will not opening mention about this streaming.

CCA selection will be at the end of P2 final term.

Hi shandee,


My gal is in 1 Patience. Do you know if your gal has a "test" during the orientation day itself?

My frenz told me that there is a test, but when I ask my gal, she say no. ???

Then also heard from other frenz who kids from other sch, they also have a "test" on their orientation day.

I was wondering is it only my gal class dun have test???

My DD is in 1D-Confidence. She didn't mention any tests on the orientation day.


One thing left me scratching my head is the logic behind naming the classes. Why don't they just use something like 1D-Diligence, 1C-Confidence etc? Instead, they have names like 1A-Patience :faint: (if i remember correctly). It's really not that hard to think of a good word starting with \"A\" right? Aspiration, Ability, Ambition, Appreciation, just to name a few.

Ha ! Totally agree abt the naming of the classes....so confusing.

haha, ya, confusing... :?


1 Patience is 1C....

1A is 1-Diligence, and it is all scramble. The rational behind this is to mask out the stream process. But then again, all the children will know it when they move from P2 to P3! In my DD class, the teacher will call out the children, and line them up according to class, Diligence(A), Endurance(B), Friendship and the rest in one bunch.

Any P3 parents out there ? Was looking at the booklist & not sure if we are to get the textbook or activity book for Science… any idea?
