      A total of 6 people from son's P4 class went to 5F, the top 3 positions plus 3 other random. My son was 4th in class and he went to 5A.


      Did you attend the P4 Subject Banding Briefing in Nov? Teacher mentioned that there will 2 top classes in P5.
      That's strange. The top 4 boys from my son's class went to 5F. The next following few went to 5A and so on. Yes, I did attend the briefing, that's why I am confuse. :? Tried checking with his P4 Maths teacher, she also doesn't know how they allocate the students this year. Did your boy take higher chinese ?

        I wrote to the school's general email to ask and they replied that \"5F and 5H are both pure higher chinese classes.\" I guess i know why now - my son didn't do very well for his Chinese, band 2. Yes, he is taking higher Chinese but I guess not well enough to go into F and H who probably scored Band 1s.

          Can we complain about the unhealthy tidbits they are serving? Terrible...

          And drink is always a packet drink. I don't allow him to drink such stuff at home...

          I am intending to call the caterer to clarify on the menu if there are still no fruits but unhealthy tidbits/snacks by tomorrow.

          Today's menu was stated as nasi lemak but what was given is not nasi lemak! They are given white rice with 1 nugget and a small piece of omelette! The banana become crackers AGAIN!!!

          Are they trying to cheat us by giving us nice menu and then give junk food thinking that the kids won't tell?

                I am ok with them not having pure Nasi Lemak cos white rice is healthier. But crackers are no no. My son’s kindergarten taught him about junk food and now a school giving him this may cause confusion that junk food is ok. Of course he eats tidbits on his own but whenever I reminded him those are junk food, he would stop.

                        I called the caterer and asked about the tidbits and snacks that were given to the boys instead of what's stated in the menu. According to their explanation, it's just temporarily as they are accepting new orders from the parents who didn't confirm the catering initially. From tomorrow onwards it'll be according to menu & told me they are gonna give oranges. I referred to the menu after I hung up, it says \"kueh\". Anyhow, I guess it's fine as long as the meal is well balanced and healthy.

                        Wow that's bad! OK, one last chance tomorrow then I'm calling. Which class are your boys in? We should tell the teachers when we meet them on 18 Jan.[/quote]
