The colours of the name-tags and house colours stay with them throughout the 6 years. My P5 DS’s teacher just confirmed that there will be no PTC this year.

Yes, there is a letter. I know my son is not a prize winner cos he failed one of his Maths test in Term 2 and recent exam below 85.

Maybe he is a subject winner, aka did very well in CL or EL?

I tot the letter would say something rite? Or it is a generic pls turn u letter?

The prizes are for best in standard or best in class?

[cherrygal]

btw are MS boys ranked in the report cards? I remember my old convent did away with rankings to remove the stress.

[Namie]

Just said invited as a class rep to attend, encouragement to his peers and inspire him to achieve good grades.

Is it for this year? I always thought the speech and prize giving day was to give out prizes for previous year?

One of you attend will be enough. However, if both of you can attend together, it will be good. Can split the tasks. Need to line up for bus, fill in forms, buy books, uniform etc...

Heehee... I signed ds for Tien Hsia holiday class for p2. He gave me 'the look'!! :siao:

We wanted to sign him up for holiday classes as well but still undecided what to sign him up. The main reason for signing him up is to give more time to DW and myself. Think we deserve a break as well.

Is the holiday class conducted by Tien Hsia good? Has your son attended their holiday class before?

Hi Bigfoot,

I'm sending my boy to their holiday workshop n also holiday enrichment.

For the workshop, he asked to attend after going for it during previous holidays. Thk he finds it fun whilst I find it cheap (abt $320 for 5 days n it's 9 to 5 --> all expenses inclusive) n a place for him to be in Chinese environment. So instead of staying at home n watching tv, might as well go out n play n be in cl environment!

For the enrichment class, it's mummy's idea. Basically they teach the 1st 5 lessons of the p2 textbook. I tot no harm to learn early!!

Still looking for a holiday English enrichment to send him! Can't really find a suitable one at the moment!

If you are sending your boy to Tien Hsia holiday classes, do tell me... Maybe our boys might attend together! Ds gets real excited whenever he sees another schoolmate for the holiday workshop!
