[quote=\"ctct61t\"]It's water sports day today, my friend's DD wear swimming cloth inside unit form to the school this monring. Not sure it's the requirement or not.

Ur friend's dd in which level? I think its only compulsory for P4s..

Oh rem to bring ur dds early home today. School dismisses at 12:30pm

My friend's DD is P5.

I prepare and bring my DD lunch this morning as I was told she has CCA afternoon. I totally forgot this water sports event.

I have to bring back her lunch, as my DD thought about the event on the way to school.[/quote]No CCA today. My dd is coming home early today. :rahrah:

does the swimming instructor also teach butterfly stroke, besides the usual free style, breast stroke ?


does he also teach survival swimming course to rgps students?
this is very impt skill esp. if you go on a ship for holiday.

:faint:

I would say don't expect too much from the school swimming lessons. Go look for outside professional swimming school if you are going for the certification.

Yeah all P1 and P2s have swimming during their PE lessons. They held it at Buona Vista swimming pool.

But as KSP said, the effectiveness is really doubtful :roll:

Are you saying they do it during class hours e.g. between 12:45pm to 6:pm ?

Yap u are right, the school buses will bring them there, its once a week.. Ur dd will need to wear or bring her costume to school.[/quote]Interesting... is it free and how long is their lesson ?

other swimming instructors...kid needs to go through evaluation and they put him/her in the right class (based on his/her swimming standard)..need to pass one level before proceeding to the next...has certification somemore....it is more systematic in a way....

GEP maths and science goes beyond the primary sch syllabus and include sec topics too.


I have one GEP kid at home ...

aqeqiq:

My dd is in one of these classes. As the top 80 mainstream students are placed in these classes, i am using this as a yardstick as to how she is doing as she paces herself towards psle. My hope is that she remains in one of these classes at p5/6 and thereafter enters the sec school of her choice.

:congrats: :celebrate:

I wish all the P3 parents here can proudly say either one of the two statements above next year.

\"My dd is in GEP or E/F class!!!\" :rahrah:
