[/quote]Yep. My ds told me on Monday that the teacher ask them to go home and consider, reply by Wednesday. On Tuesday before i could discuss with him, he told me he already sign up with the teacher. :shock:

anyone knows what exactly will the sch touch on for the parents symposium? is it worthwhile to attend right fm 530pm?

Best to have it at 6:30pm. Most people are still at work or or just stop work. 5:30pm is too rush or impossible to many since the implementation of 5-work-day.

Thanks ApronMama, Way2Go, VeryKiasu2010 for the interesting info. Will ask DD1 to confirm with her seniors abt GG in JC. Hope they’ll concentrate on the chicken wings (ie. no food poisoning from eating semi raw food) and not giggling or stealing glances at the scouts during the camp fires. Over at NYGH, they already had the Math Olympiad diagnostic test and selected some to attend the Math Olympiad training. Homework and project started too. No more "honeymoon"" period.

Is the diagnostic test optional?

True. But the student organizers and those who help up in the event (example my DS) will have to stay back longer till 9pm +.

Today he is staying back late for preparation of Parents symposium. Yesterday he last minute kena called up to become MC for a small event. Tomorrow is the actual event day and sure to stay back late. Plus his CCA and project meetings and other SLC meetings, I cannot recall when was the last time i saw him home early...

ApronMama, some classes - teachers asked who're interested and those who are interested can take the diagnostic test; while other classes, teacher just walk into the class and hand out the \"surprise\" test for everyone in the class. That's why one of DD1's classmates was selected but she's not interested in SMO and decided not to join. Dunno how's it like in HCI.


Btw, 24 Jan no sch for NYGH (e-lesson) 'cos NYGH teachers crossing over the bridge to HCI for some mtg/course. :lol:

My ds told me no school on 24 jan since all teachers are not free. Have to log on computer for home study from 8am and attendance will be taken when log on.

My ds has already taken the test. He says the teacher ask for those that have maths olympiad background and sign them up.
