Hi TenTen,

Yes, we roughly draft out her show and tells, based on her inputs on the topic. The dateline is given, so she'll practice every now and then. So far, this is the 2nd term, and 2nd show n tell, so I think it's 1 per term?

Yes, by Stellar, u mean no textbook? They get exercises in school to complete. Thankfully, they don't have that much homework as most is completed in school. This is also perhaps they don't want the kids to get
'help' in order to gauge their progress?

They've moved on to Chinese characters from hypy already.

They do not have exams, but diagnostic tests, which is these few weeks. However, they will not use the results to 'stream' them, as they will still be in the same class next year.

I must say my DD's Chinese has definitely improved, as she used to shy away from it, coming from an Eng-speaking background! She now happily sings Ch songs by herself, and is more daring in conversing in Mandarin! Having dedicated teachers definitely helped her get over her insecurities.

Hope this helps?

Hi Parents,


I intend to be the PV for my DD in this school. I’ve called the school and wish to know more about the PV programme but they said it’s too early now for my DD who is going to P1 in 2014. The asked mw to call back in Jan 2012.

Did anyone of you here has the experience of being the PV before? Will they take any parent who is interested or they will choose thru interview. What is the activities or events that their PV programme like?

I am full time working mum, is it possible for me to complete the 40 hrs PV in the weekends only[/color]?

Yes. I have done PV 6 years ago. During that time, they chose thru interview. Both the husband and wife can help out to clock in the 40 hrs, hence to me is not difficult. I tried to choose those Job that need to take up at least more that 4 hrs in order not to waste my precious leave. Mostly, the PV chairman will email to all PV of their on coming event that required help out and they will take the PV that replied to them on a first come first serve basis. Hope it help.

what kind of PV work is the school in need of ?

[phtthp]

how are the teachers ? are they hardworking ?


do the teachers teach, or do they outsource to parents to send kids for enrichment lessons, assuming that parents will teach their kids at home, under this so called ‘TLLM’ concept (ie. Teach Less, learn more) ?

Mmm.. what I can think of is

1) bring the children for excusion like Zoo, museam etc.
2) Bring P3 to and fro from swimming pool during their PE lesson.
3) Help out the teacher during festival like Lantern festival, dumpling making etc.
4) Help out in event etc etc...

It really depend on the teacher or I would said \"luck\".

My girl who are in P4 now have met very committed teacher who is willing to help her out even after class when she is weak. She also met teacher who just throw tons of homework to her without much teaching and expect her to finish at home. But overall, majority of the teacher that my girl met are quite good and committed. :snuggles:

For holy innocent, I don't feel they outsource the kids to parent, they will give extra lesson before or after school for student who are weak.
