      Dear Scm2,

      Ok. Good to hear that your son was able to cope with HCL.
      my DD is ok with CL, so thought if school will allow her to use HCL in P2. Have to check with form teacher in the coming year then. :roll:

      May be in westgrovet he HCL is allowed from P5 onwards only 🤷

      some pri sch may start hcl earlier. for example, DS' cousin in shuqun started hcl in p3.

      mm.. one of my office colleague told me that her DD school have HCL from P1 itself :scared:

      wonder why different school adopt different ways to teach?

        Maybe different school focus more on different subject?

        My friend’s DS in Xingnan P2 next yr, will be taking HCL.
        I heard that west grove Maths standard is higher than other subject, is it true?

            wgps use the same text books as most primary schools so i dun think that the Math taught are of a different "standard".

                if the amount of worksheets from the school can be a guide on the emphasis placed on a certain subject, I noted that DS class did a lot of Math exam format type papers compared to Science (after the prelims). Noticed this while clearing his primary school stuff over the weekend.

                  In wgps, they put kids in ability grouping for mother tongue eg CL 1/ CL 2 etc. Higher Mother Tongue is offered for P5/P6 kids only but p1-p4, lessons are paced according to ability grouping it seems.

                    Hi , i am new here and my boy is born in Yr2008.

                    We are now staying within the 1KM distance (wgps , jwps & frontier) and I just want to know when can I start register for PV with wgps ?

                    Or should I just wait for Phase 2C because we will have 2 ballot slip as SC , thanks .

                      For example, if your child starts P1 in 2015, it means you have to register him in 2014 so the PV should start in 2013. Better to check with the school how they organise PV.


                      There is a new school being built near wgps; next to blk 735. When it starts classes in 2013, the school will take off some intake load from wgps. This year, there was no need to ballot during phase 2C for jwps because a lot registered for frontier.

                        What should P2 kids pack in the bag for the 1st day of school? Do they need to bring all the texbooks, workbooks, and files? TQ
