P5 - What time do your kids finish after school ?

[shurley197323]

Yes, I also feel heartpain fo my girl. But I make a point to her no matter how late she is back, after doing school homework,she still must spend sometime (30mins-1hr) for extra assessment book since she didnot have many tuitions expt Chinese comp. Really no time to waste, must get really for PSLE if want to enrol under DSA. I am more worried than her. My girl also hated Chinese subject. Do you all know any IP Sec School

that donot emphasise a lot on Chinese? I can only think of NUS High School which is more on Science & Math.

Mine P6 this year and every Mon and Wed, has extended curriculum hours from 2pm till 3.30pm. Normal days timetable is from 7.10am to 1.30pm., except Thurs it’s 7.10am to 9.30am. CCA is on Thurs 4.15pm to 5.30pm, so every Thurs the students have to go home at 9.30am and be back by 4.15pm if they are taking CCA (badminton).


Last year in P.5, every Mon was extended till around the same time but after spoken to the Principal, he mentioned it was optional as it was Supplementary lessons.

This year with new Principal, it is part of curriculum hours and not supplementary, so it’s compulsory.

Personally don’t like it and have spoken to the new Principal but of no use. They rather to have Contact time and have the school dismissed at 9.30am every Thursday, then to do away with the extended hours. Pity those who are staying far away and taking school bus.

My cousin's son wanted to use DSA but didn't do so as his results good enough to enter ACS. But poor chap stayed back 3x a week for track and field. Very heartache thinking if my son had to stay back almost 3-4x a week.
I told him he has to do 30min of assessment book bcos this is the only way to revise...just doing hw is not enough. Since he sleeps in the afternoon, he can sleep later at night.

You can take a look at their website. I think since my girl now is only P5. So the DSA should be somewhere in 2012 April & it based mainly on their P5 results & P6 CA1 results. For NUSH, their science & math must be A*.So this year results is very important.

From what I know from the school Primary 6 results is< 91 marks to get a A*. I am not sure will it be the same for PSLE.

For DSA to NUSH, having a platinum for maths olympiad more or less \"secure\" a place, but it 's really not easy getting a platinum.
