I presume only year 2 to year 6 will be eligible to get the $1000 subsidies for overeseas assignment? Or do year 6 go for overeseas assigment since they are suppose to be very busy preparing for A level.

it is only for year 1 to 5.

138 students getting the subsidies will be 138K per year. Do you happen to know how rv get this extra funding? I hope I am not asking too much.[/quote]not sure how the school gets the funding. but i do know there are some students who chose to take the exams or stay in sg for other enrichment programmes instead of going overseas. i think they r still subsidised for local enrichment programmes but those who chose to take the exams get nothing. these is what i gathered from my child. anyone can confirm?

Just like to point out the mistake made in the newspaper. Only students who scored GPA 3.8 and above will get subsidies and go for oversea trip during the exam period.


Students who scored above 3.5 and below 3.8 will get partial exemption for subjects that they scored A1.

校方这一年来也尝试通过奖励措施激发学生更努力向上。去年起，如果学生第一至第三学段的平均分数达到3.5或以上、双语成绩优秀，年底不但可以不用考试，还可获得学校赞助1000元参加国外浸濡活动。个别科目成绩突出的学生也可豁免参与那些科目的年终考试。这样一来，学生可花更多时间专攻其他较弱科目。

去年有138名立化学生获得学校津贴，年底无需考试出国浸濡。中三生吴颜欣（14岁）是其中一人。她说：“学校这么做让我们体会到学习生涯重要的不只是考试。扩大视野，累积国际经验可以学到更多。”

yup. only 3.8 qualify for full exemption.
think 3.5 qualify for partial exemption.

Then the reported number 138 is the number of students getting full or partial exemption?

HI all


my son who is year 1 has to carry the super thick longman dictionary to and fro school almost every day. even though he has been allocated a locker, he tends to bring it home as he needs to use it for homework. qtn is, can he use online dictionary to do his hw instead of carrying the bulky dictionary everywhere? thks

and speaking about the locker, he waited for an hour to get his keys a few days ago. he is supposed to be dismissed at 2pm but got his keys only at 3pm. don't know why the school has to make the students wait for so long juz to get the keys...any of your kids have the same experience or this only happens in my son's class
