My child's school practised the opposite. There is only a 3 half-day supplementary lessons at the beginning of the June holiday. In the principal's words: \"the teachers, too need a break to recharge\". Students are expected to do their own revision at home.hi,

I heard that schools like Henry Park, River Valley & Nan Hua had holiday lessons for their P5 & 6 students for the 1st & last week of June! Some of them engaged external service provider like Maths Olympiad trainers to give their students a boost in their Maths. -

In fact, I've heard that MANY schools have extra lessons either during 1st or last week (or both) of Jun hols (esp for P6). My niece's school has already been practicising normal school hrs during last week of Jun hols since P5. -

I suspect that the holiday lessons for some of these sch's mentioned might be for certain classes only, maybe to prepare them for the coming NUS maths olympiad competition. -

Mostly likely during the one month or so before PSLE, schools will be drilling the kids for exam papers. Is it more effecitive to follow-up closely with that at home or spending time running around for PSLE tuition and struggling between homework given by tutition centre and school. Is it better to stop all enrichment including tuition earlier?
My advice is for the students to work very hard and try more practices before the PSLE and push for best and optimal results, and after the PSLE exams are over in 2 months time, allow them to play all they want because all the hardwork is worth it and after the exams, it is time to relax and play.
I told all my students not to come for lessons after PSLE, just play for 3 months.
But now is the time to work very very hard, practising to perfection and excellence. -
