I agree with that, if only time commitment can allow enough time for rest and homework etc, I imagine there's alot to adapt in initial secondary school life and curriculum for our 'little' ones.
Mummy must learn to let go....:) -

ngbrdad:
Spoken to one of the senior teachers. He mentioned that for year 1, the students are divided into different clasess base on MTL and their ex-status(GEP or main stream)
In IP the GEP kids are group together right ?autolycus:
Actually, to be exact, at all levels they are grouped by time-tabling convenience (i.e., most often by subject combination). Since for Year 1-2, they all have the same subject combination EXCEPT for mother tongue language, they are grouped by MTL by default. Should there be many candidates with same MTL, they can then be grouped in other ways (as is often the case for 'majority' MTL (i.e., Mandarin). It is also 'doctrine' to try to divide groups of minority MTL students into at least two classes. E.g., if there are only 17 students doing a minority MTL, then we would try to split them 8/9.
So if the GEP kids in express are dispersed in different classes how are they going for the SBGE activities if they are in different classes ?
E.g. All those students who take HCL and from GEP will group into the same class. All those students who take normal CL and from main stream will group into the same class. PSLE T-Score is not considered in this class grouping exercise.
Is this true? -

Spent $200 on uniforms/accessories, and $240 on books. Whoo! Exp!
Yes, painful! And still got to buy laptop? And to pay for the tea on the 6th. :moneyflies: If we don't go, our sons will have no one to pin their school badge for them in the badge pinning 'ceremony'. -

Luckily I applied for leave yesterday for that and was approved.
Btw what about the laptop thing ? Any laptop will do ? Or need specific configuration ?
I know SST needs a 2k+ macbook pro, Maris Stella also apparently. -
Hi, this is from my last year experience. My DS will b Year 2 IP in 2012. The school never request any purchase of laptop and certainly no spec request. But there are many many projects and assignments that requires use of computer and many group works and presentations even in Year 1. So a laptop (mobile compared to desktop) is a necessity and a good printer too for submission of project reports.

In that case even a net book should suffice right ?
Got one lying idle at home.
Printer probably need to buy one since my HP printer really guzzle ink like crazy. -
A question regarding school shoes.
The starter kit stated that can be any shoes as long as more than 70% of it is white.
Just like to find out what sort of shoes do the students wear normally ?
Anyone still wear those white canvas shoes from primary school days ? -

Yup, a netbook should be good enough but the screen could be too small though.
