yes, it can be quite stressful, top class can be quite competitive. streaming into top class starts from P3. my daughter is in P2 and son in P4 this year. I would advise everyone to use P1 and P2 to build up their foundation. P1 and P2 are easy. It gets tougher after every year thereafter. It also depends on the form teacher. My kids are in the good class so no compalint on the teacher but can't say for other class. it is not easy. we are struggling to keep up. we have to study together with them................I don't really believe in tuition initially but we have no choice as we are both working...........struggling to find good tutors too. anyone has good recommendations??

Jeanette,

How do we know whether our kids are in good class? Anyway to find out? My girl will only attend P1 next year and I am not sure whether my girl's class is good or not. How to judge?

For lower Primary, parents involvement in coaching is inevitable if we want our kids to do well. Even if we engage a tutor for our kids, as a parent, we should be involved in monitoring their work too. And like you said, study with them which I am doing right now and can be quite stressful as I have already return most of my knowledge back to my teachers....:)

My neighbour whose kids has graduated from CF told me usually their better classes are at the back. Previously the school does not has Gracious, Respect........ for their classes. They name the class A - J. My neighbour's kids are in I / J classes. And most of her elder kid's classmates goes to RI or good secondary school.

hi,

My elder child was studying Primary 3 in 2008. The two best classes are Sincere and Respectful. They stream students from Primary 3 onwards, based on the Primary 2 results. There were neither top nor second-best class, meaning that students from these two classes are of equal quality (i.e. 1st and 3rd in level in P2 allocated in Sincere, 2nd and 4th in Respectful; 7th in Sincere and 9th in Respectful (P2 result). I can’t remember all the positions, I just tell you what I know. The school did not disclose which are the two best classes because they don’t want students feel bad if their class is not the two top classes. Each year the top classes are different, this year sincere and respectful, but next year maybe youthful or loyal.

In addition, the principle even made a speech that it doesn’t mean that students in Gracious, the first class, will always be the top ones. Prior this ‘allocation strategy’, Gracious has always been the best class, follow by Respectful, so everybody knows that these are the two best classes.

However, I don’t know whether they have changed their practice as my elder child doesn’t study in CF anymore since Primary 4.

I believe that the school doesn’t stream students from Primary 1. Why is this so? My first child was in Respectful in Primary 1 and 2. For P1 Respectful in 2006, most kids’ parents registered them through PV. Furthermore, the class has the top student and two of the bottom students in the whole level.

My younger child is in Primary 2 now. Some of my younger child’s classmates were the siblings of my first child’s classmates in P1 and P2.
If I remember correctly, I knew my younger child’s class allocation on the same day as my child’s screening test (on the orientation day). Also, some of the parents whose kids are in the same class as mine shared with me that they have other older kids in CF. Thus, this class have many students whose have sibling in CF.

You are right....2 best classes in P3. Sincere and innovative for year 2011. I guess yours went to GEP in P4, so that explains why being transfer out.

[/quote]Aiya, just wait for a few more months and back here to confirm if Innovative is indeed the best class. Only those have 12/12 good & V good during screening are in this class so you say is this the best class or it could be the best over prepared class.
