[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Hi Mrmrskoh,

No prob...I mentioned daughter's class here too...so that I can get to know more mummies in case my blur sotong daughter comes back with info which needs clarification. :roll:

oh great! my daughters are in P2 Rose and P3 Ixora...anyone? :xedfingers:

My gals did not take up ballet in sch..but the they stay back in sch 2-3 times per week up till 4pm for Enrichments/remedials/S&D.

I would say quite tiring for them as they wake up 530am in the morning to get ready for sch. But for lunch at 130pm - I always urge them to get something in the canteen, even a packet of milo is ok. I told them if they are still hungry during remedial/enrichment classes - they shd seek permission from their teachers to eat. My older gal did it once..she missed her recess as she had to see the sch dentist..then during gym lessons, she felt hungry and the teacher allowed her to go the canteen to eat.[/quote]Are the enrichment/remedials/S&D you mentioned compulsory from P2 onwards ? My son in P5 has supp classes this year and time is so tight...if P2s have compulsory lessons as well, that would be even worse. Don't know if my daughter will be able to handle that.

They are not compulsory, but if teachers suggest that my child need remedial, I take it that they are weak in those subjects and need extra coaching. As for enrichment class, my P3 gal is taking higher chinese and I do not send her for chinese tuition. Neither can I teach language subjects, hence I prefer her to get coaching from sch teachers.

However, if I do not see improvement by Term2, I will consider private tuition - at least I can plan the timing on my part.

i heard something about .... no more affliation from CHIJ primary TPY into CHIJ TYP secondary, because many students take for granted that they can just walk easily across to next door Secondary IJ TPY ?


is it implemented this year 2011, or next yr 2012 ?

I dont think so... I think there will always be affiliation. but who knows, these days they keep changing the rules. They tried to do it once in SJI Junior recently, where they wanted to cut or diminish the affiliation to SJI (secondary) to raise standards. but there was violent objections from the old boys association and including some board members too, so they scrap the idea. I think some old boys wanted their sons to get into SJI without much hassle, to continue tradition.

I think I replied to you on another thread. to answer - no, it does not make a difference if you're from chij katong. the school only recognises ex pupils from chij tpy. even if you are from the chij secondary tpy before, that won't help either. you must be from the primary school in order to get into the chij primary tpy. you will enter at 2B coz you are catholics. but bare in mind that if you are staying more than 2km from the school, you will probably need to ballot, based on past records.
