Hello!


Mine just got confirm for Kong Hwa in phase 2B last week. Just would like to know what to expect for next year when he is P1 in Kong Hwa?

Lots of homework and tests. Seriously.

Oh no… I am allergic to homework and tests. Yes, my daughter is starting P1 next year.

oh, congrats firstly! hmm... from my experience, it is not so for P1. in fact was glad he sailed thru P1 w/o much homework. P2 has slightly more, but done in less than 1 hr. One thing to expect indeed is project for show & tell. its graded as CA. so cannot too relax also.

Hi, anyone know if they had a parent support group in KH and if it was active and worth joining?

Each year at the end of Term 2, the school will hold a series of seminars held by a mixture of full-time teachers and external consultants from service providers. Essentially, they will cover a lot of the curriculum for the parents to get a gist of what their children are learning and what to expect. I learnt my math modeling methods from one of these sessions :). They are pretty much meant as \"train the trainer\" - the trainer being the parents themselves. Don't miss these seminars!

Thanks. So does it mean that they expect the parents either to teach the kids or send them for tuition?


Perhaps this is a little too late to ask but… is KH still a good school? I mean are the teachers generally nurturing or are they just like going thru the motion? The school, is it open to explore and better ways of teaching the kids or just very "not broken, don’t fix it" type?
