260 is okay, and I'm happy to note that 2nd wasn't too far behind - so at least there is some consistency and it's not a one shot wonder. Heard of another school where the differential between first and next was more than 20marks.
What's more impt should be how the cohort did and if this is a sustainable result (no point having one off shooting stars). This graduating batch is still part of those from the old facility. I'm very curious to see 2/3 years on, how the results will be - if the increased demand after they move into new school means a higher calibre of student population.
For the P1s, perhaps they take one week to suss out how the students are, I should be glad if they take the time to find out about the kids' strengths/weaknesses.
With the uniforms and sch books in place, it's so like final. A bit wondering what the next 6 years will be like.....

Is it mandatory for HW students to know swimming and up to what level? My boy is 6yo and not started swimming lessons yet. Anyone has good swimming instructor to recommend?
I don't think that's stated. Not sure which type you are looking at. Around the vicinity are instructors at Jalan Besar public pool, or APS school (at Farrer Park). And then, there are private coaches... -
Just curious Size 6 is it small range, medium range or large range?

Small-med range for P1 kids. My son is about 1.1-1.2m tall, quite thin; not the tua chiak type. The next step up, size 8 looks very much bigger. -

Do they have size 4? I think your son might be about the same build as my dd or maybe slightly bigger size than her.SAHM_TAN:

They have to bring colour pencils to school - I'm now wondering what type to buy...12 colours, 24 colours....I think I very free.

True true. My kids were very excited to see the whiteboard and marker...is there something about it that kids just love? Anyway, the bigger number of the colour pencils, the more he has to lose, and also the more weight he'll have to carry around.

Figure I'll be mean and just give him a standard 12 colour. -

My DD pestered me to get her a whiteboard and marker when she first went to school. So during the big Popular sale, I bought one for her and she was very happy. There's something about writing on the board and erasing it that's very fun.

I might be thinking too much.......If you are getting him the 12 colors, you might consider explaining to him a bit. I don't send my DD for art class but I know parents who do and they buy their kids 48 colors. In kiddy no issue because school provides the supplies and kids just share. -
SAHM_TAN:
ha ha...welcome to the fun. I'll just ask him if he wants to carry so much to school - first few days no textbook, all is well. Once the books are loaded, I dunno if he'll fancy that extra bit of weight.

No worries, I'll bring him stationery shopping.
Also, DS is artistically challenged, too good a set, I really think the colours will be wasted on him.
