[Choa Chu Kang] Primary Schools

[buds]

Remedial lessons are usually for weaker students.

The compulsory ones are usually supplementary
lessons to give children more enrichment lessons
to boost what's being done during the day lessons.
For after school activities, you also have to think abt
the extra CCA hours of your child's choice. These days
school doesn't really end at 1pm.

Compulsory… means must attend?

Hmm.. still cannot understand why SV is so demanding

Best of Luck to mummies and daddies for P2C registration

Cannot understand, but why? :scratchhead:
SV has been consistently churning top scorers for PSLE..
SV has been featured numerous times for their interesting
enrichment programmes within school hours and after for
their students. Amongst others, parents with children in
SV have sung praise for the teachers there (most of them)
for being attentive to their children's needs in achieving
their best potential.

I didn't even dare try to register SV. I had a toddler and a
baby few mths old so cudn PV. So i just went ahead to
another school within our radius that never needed balloting
based on past history and got in. Easier to commute some
more. We got in without any fuss. Got pink letter within the
week to confirm our child's place. Heng.. no trouble at all.
Now that same school is getting popular already.

Ya lar.. compulsory what?

But was told that parents can write in should the
child already have prior engagements with external
enrichment vendors or private music lessons that they
have been attending for a long time. Case by case basis la.
The children can be exempted then.. must be good excuse.

Thanks Senior…


This Compulsory… Supp… thingy also apply to P1 students?

Then need to consider whether still wants to put ds to BASC le…

[buds]

Nope. Not at P1.. :nailbite:

The current school up North starts from P3.
A friend's daughter in Greenridge Primary has
supp lessons from P4 onwards.. this means it
is really subjective to individual school.

For supplementary classes, better to check with school’s parents, and not every parent knows … I’ve asked before but not got much answer. Generally, schools will give supplementary classes at P5. But some schools start earlier and selectively (like to banded class). Eg, I know Henry Park has some extra chinese classes for P2 (maybe selected kids, who knows). All these extra classes can be considered optional but would the parent want to say no? Those weaker students need to go for remedial classes.


As for why SV is still so popular … think of the schools that’s within 1km of the folks staying at Teck Why area and ard there… SV is the only school considerable. People will want to give it a gamble. Based on past history, there would be places in the other schools in 2C supp. So, they’ll try first and then go to the other schools in 2C supp. Also, the numbers may change by day 3 when people withdraw and apply elsewhere. But somehow, the past yr’s history may not be repeat this yr. With reduction in SV’s places and DLS in a holding place, parents go to other schools like Unity, and hence there’s balloting this yr. Last yr, those < 1km for Unity all got in whereas there was ballot in Yew Tee with a good chance of getting in. CCK also did not have any ballot for the past 2 yrs (if I remember correctly).
