2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

I tot only from P3 onward have HCL??[/quote]Here is a general guideline as it can vary from school to school.poppy15:
[quote=\"phtthp\"]another question to call up the school to find out is - for your child's school, do they start P1 Higher Chinese (HCL) ? If not, then at which level onwards start - P2 ?
:yikes: P1 already doing HCL :?
goodness, what is this mum (me) doing :oops:
didnt know gt such test.... :sad:
The formal confirmation of doing HCL for non-SAP schools is P5 and the formal confirmation for dropping HCL for SAP schools is also P5.
So SAP schools will offer their children HCL or sometimes they call it 深广 at P1 and HCL from P2-P5(again varies with school) for everyone until P5 they make an option to drop for PSLE formally if they want to.
For non-SAP schools, they also start with 深广 at P1 and offer as HCL from P2-P5 for selected students (usually the band 1s students). Then at P5, they have an option to opt in formally for PSLE.
This is broadly the idea and schools can execute it with variation from P1-P5, i.e some schools can offer HCL only from P3 onwards...etc.... -
so it means the child must be able to speak, write, recognise and understand chinese in p1. which means that he must definitely have chinese tuition at a very early age.

Yes because it is assumed that it is mother tongue(the subject name), something learned since birth or before birth.
The stress only comes in if the child, in a non-SAP school, wants to start HCL early as it is optional even when it is offered. The real stress comes when you enrol in a SAP school as it is part of curriculum -

:yikes: thought P1 no more test liao.. why am I seeing so many stars now.. :nailbite:maybe call up school, do some homework first, find out to check - how does the school arrange for pupils to enter into different P1 classes, by what criteria ?
is it by the order of registration in sequence, or is it in random order ?
find out for P1 Term 1 2012 - does the school set tests for the pupils to enter different classes ? if Yes, which subject tested ?
eg: some schools set Chinese tests for P1 Term 1.
so even if you request for yr friend's child and yr child to be together in the same P1 class initially, they may get separated again. -
For those school with higher chinese option, you dont have to opt for it right?

How does school know that we are PV of that school?
On the day of registration, what to produce to school
to verify that we are PV? So far, we have not received
anything from school. -

PVs should be very clear if they qualify (ie just have to hit that number of hours required by school). You can call up the school to ask when they will send you the letter. Mine was received very early...so early until I was puzzled if this is that precious letter (before MOE even announced the registration dates).How does school know that we are PV of that school?

It is unlike those for church/clan membership where they may restrict the number of letters they issue. Once parents fulfil their side of the bargain, they should have every right to register their child during P2B. -

Actually I think the testing may start during orientation. Some schools tell you the class the child is in BEFORE orientation - then no test. Others will conduct 'activities' for the kids - mine kena and to me, it smacked of being a test becos we only know the class AFTER orientation day.
I hear some schools siao on, they will give a list to parents (probably term 2) to indicate when is this/that test. It's pretty bite sized I think. My kid's school keep quiet and silently conduct the tests - after the fact, they will bring a whole load of papers with marks and all. -
