Hi, anyone need small size PHPPS socks, S size? Too small for my girl. Went back to change but they do not allow exchange of size for socks. I am letting go at slightly cheaper price of $9.00 (original price is $10), inclusive of postage. Anyone? Please e-mail me at [email protected]

My last understanding was no S-banding for top classes, as there were some disagreement from parents during upper Pri dialogue session. It will still be top 40, then next 80, and so on for the top 3 or 4 classes. Remaining students will be S-banded.

Hi E3, I thought it was top 80 and next 80, followed by the remaining classes?

That was what was discussed during the P2 parents dialogue session but it was not confirmed until P met up with parents of other levels as well. The last I heard, the upper primary parents were not in favour of the S-banding for top classes. Unless you've confirmation with Form-teachers or school, the S-banding will not be carried out for the top classes. I can find out by checking with my dd's classmates whether most of them will end up in the same class next year. If so, then, there is no S-banding.[/quote]Ok thanks E3, you are so helpful. Do let me know once you have checked. I am just so curious to know

Just collected the letter. There is also a summary info on overall results- the child’s score and percentile (given in a range) against the cohort, each subj highest, lowest, avg and median score.


So no indication of level position but let us know the range of percentile.

P4 class name is TEAMWORK

Any idea how many classes does P4 have in 2011?

There 2 other types of Edusave award - Scholarship award (meant for top 5% and next 10%) and Good Progress Award. These no need to apply or income cap.

If I remembered correctly, these two types are only meant for P5 and P6. Never mind, continue to work hard, everyone! :celebrate:

We recd the CDC & CCC Good Progress Award :celebrate:

I checked MOE http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/edusave/funds-grants-awards/#good-progress applicable from P2 onwards.

Should be 9. The letter did not state the level position at all. :?

I believe the printing of level position is a thing of the past from this year onwards. I am disappointed to be given a percentile range that is so wide apart (20% difference). For eg, my boy's CL is in 21% to 40%, so I shld be very worried or not?

I know what you mean. It makes alot of diff whether his score is top of the range or bottom. So wide!

The website states only if the child does not quality for the scholarship or bursary award, then they can be awarded with Good Progress, so I assume my dd will not get anything. I wonder how it's generated? Although my dd did well, but I doubt she's going to get it, cos her overall score dropped by 1 mark compared to last year.

I haven't checked my mail yet. Hehe...
