the top 44 students from P2 results are in 3A now, and the next 40-44 in 3B etc.
the best would be A and B.
The next reshuffling would be in P5 based on P4 results. But its still possible that they reshuffle in P3 if you really do very badly by SA2. You would be move from A to the back class. -

The class size is 44? So big? I heard they cut down to 8 classes instead of 10 in P1/P2, so should be around 38 per class right?deardear07:

Interesting. Nan Chiau is one of pilot schools for the online registration for P1 Phase 2C/2C Sup. Will be good if extended to earlier phases too for parents’ convenience.
Online Registration for Eight Pilot Primary Schools
This year, MOE has introduced a new Primary One Internet System (P1-IS) as a pilot in eight Primary Schools. Parents registering their child for the eight pilot schools in these two phases will have an alternate channel created for their convenience to register their child. For details on online registration, please refer to the P1-IS Step-by-Step Guide (.pdf (2.2mb)).
The eight schools are:
1.Anchor Green Primary School
2.Beacon Primary School
3.Canberra Primary School
4.Edgefield Primary School
5.Endeavour Primary School
6.Mee Toh School
7.Nan Chiau Primary School
8.North Vista Primary School -

Yes, average of 40 students in a class. I believe the not so good classes has lesser students.
from P3 onwards , down from 10 to 8.
u have some particular concern or issues in mind? -

More individual attention is required for the students as they progress to upper primary, yet the class size is getting bigger, leaving each student even less attention. Also, with the so called \"elite\" classess, attention and resources will be on them and the not-so-good classess will become even worst in terms of academic performance. This leads to a win-lose situation and is due largely to the elite system in S'pore. -
My understanding with my son’s last year P2 teacher is P3A to P3C are the better ones whereas P3D to P3H are balloted , there is no so called not so bright class.
Actually from the SA1 result, you can roughly figure out how your child stands from the level position. One of the feedback I have given to the teacher is to provide parents with a max, min, average scores for each subjects. Now I can only know his class average score rather than his level average scores. -
My personal feel is most schools are focusing on two group of students, elite and not so good. Elite is to maintain school high ranking. Not so good is to prevent the overall passing percentage drops. The average students are the ones that are receiving lesser attention than the rest. Again this is my personal thought.

I don’t think the school is focusing only on the elite and not so good only. I have a nephew and a niece in the same school, both with different degree of learning difficulties, and both have been greatly encouraged and helped by the teachers, and I can see improvements in their school work.
My personal opinion is, best teachers may not be teaching in the best class. The definition of "best teachers / good teachers" differs, so to me, the best teachers are those who can engage, motivate and instill interest in the subject topics for the pupils, regardless of which class they teach. As long as the child has interest in what he is learning, he will improve, and every improvement is a step towards success.
