My ds says that there will be exam but i am not sure if it is counted as a subject. May I know sec 1 how many subjects are there and will these extra programmes affect the overall grades.

Hello, I am a new member to this forum. My ds is in year 1 this year. According to him, we can opt out anytime but need to inform the teacher. I guess we have to provide some valid reason as well. My ds told me he has put his name in for it. sigh...... can make his own decision liao, dun need parent consent anymore......

My ds also put his name in for it as he says the teacher told him can opt out after 1 year. (So... can opt out anytime or after 1 year :? )[/quote]was told after 1 year, not anytime. And there will be tests which marks are recorded. Child must be interested in Chinese Literature, such as 诗，词。。。

There was no parent conscent. They settle with their teacher want or dun want, something like that. By the time you hear it, everything is over liao.

[/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:
