Hi,


Many of the p1 (2012) parents have received letter on orientation and book list. As there will be no assessment on orientation day, classes have already been allocated and based on the birth month of the child, eg those who were born in jan are in 1C.

Remember to bring ask your child to bring the items for classroom activities on orientation day, as mentioned in a small slip of paper tt came together with the letter.

See you guys during orientation day on 18th Nov!

Can we buy uniform on orientation day instead of next sat?

Hi All 2012 enrolment parents !!


This batch u are so lucky !! Last yr, I remembered, i was so nervous for my boy… after that assessment, he refused to tell me anything. I did not know what was happening. Cold Sweat…

But again I still feel the school’s mother tongue standard is high. The Yun Yu is really killing for a kid to pick up thousand of characters. But again set it high, suffer at the start but the fruit will come later. I think there are some advantages in the long run.

Importantly, be consistent. First 6 months, I think it is the adaptation period. Your kid will come back blur blur, ask them any homework, always nothing… then I get big page of remarks on his comm book, 9 pages homework undone. It is normal and not uncommon esp for boys.

Good to exchange with some other parents numbers ( same class ) so as to keep track what is happening in the class.

Good Luck to all 2012 parents. I will be there 18th Nov to get all my DS stuff before we go for our holiday break. Kids will enjoy themselves as they will make new friends, in a bigger compound to run about… they will sure enjoy school.

Dear parents,


If you are looking for a 1 to small group English home tutor, and your child is P2 next year, I am currently looking for additional 1 to 2 students for the tutor before she can form a class. My daughter will be in the class too.

Please contact me at 92272022 to find out more details. Thanks.

My son is about to finish P1. He got back his results slip and scored 88 for English. Is that a bad score for a P1? Very disappointed in fact.

Don’t brute over it. Still have 5 more years to catch up @ Psle. That’s the ultimate aim. Too early to make any judgement

What is an acceptable mark for a P1? Should be relaxing since the exams are over. Instead got more stressed.

My boy didnt get to the target. So what he asked for like beyblade toy all have been KIV to next year.


I was also anxious for the past few weeks.

Hi, Gabby. ok, a consolation...my DSs didn't score better than yours in English. So, hope u feel better. My stress is temp over.
On the day that the teacher gave out all the test papers for corrections in the class and collected them back, I was so stress bec my DS3 told me he got 20+ for his English mini test. I thot oh no, fail! I was stressed for so many days until the papers are back, then I realised he has confused his Eng marks with Math! And my DS1 confuse his Chinese with English. So I guess my stress is over bec they did better than their verbal reports.
angel64 is correct, there is still a lot of time to work things out. To me, P1 is to 'test water'. So, we know where is our children weakness and try to help them in future. Mine was 'killed' by compre and compo.

Hi, angle64. Just curious, what is your target? I have no target for my DSs this year bec really have no idea. My DSs don't even know what is the result slips until I briefed them last night. So now I can set P2 target for them - each subject better P1 by 10 marks. So, can anyone share how you all set target?
