No banding after P2 SA2. Banding only starts after P4 final exams. i.e p5 and P6. They used to have only 1 best class in P5 but next year there will be 2 classes.

Sorry, side track here: how do u guys label everything. I bought a label that comes with protective film but it just doesnt stick onto his canvas school bag, then I paste over with masking tape, but it came off soon after my boy touched it, how ah?

Are you talking abt labeling his name on his bag? I stuck the sticky name label on the inside flap where they have a plastic cover instead of the canvas. I personally dun think it's nice to have a person's name so blatantly on the bag itself. Just put something that he can differentiate eg. a keychain, an iron-on applique that you can also sew on if it doesn't stick.

My applique from Daiso stuck well on the outside of his ergo bag with just mild ironing.

I think even with no exams, we can still buy those exam papers from other schools to \"test\" the abilities of our children. Dun stress them lah, just tell them it's for practice. From there, we can gauge their strengths and weaknesses. No need to wait till P2.

Argh!!


I’ve gotto buy so many things and must be soon!

1) bag
2) watch
3) labels
4) shoes

Btw - are you guys getting the "Bata" shoes or the more comfy "Adidas/ Nike" type har?

[Namie]

Definitely Bata for two reasons:

- feet still growing
- I don’t want him to get accumstom to high end goods before he has the ability to earn them

P1 are able to wear velcro. Are your kids wearing velcro or laces?

Yes, they do class ranking from P1. Don't know if they can do this at P1 after they do away with exams.

Think we won't know the COP for this year until the S1 posting results are out later this month.

I have gotten 2 pairs of velco Bata school shoes for him. He can learn to tie shoe laces slowly but for the time being just don't want him to step on his shoelaces and fall

This year for my P4 boy, they only do class ranking. Last year, they had class and level ranking.
