Just received principal's letter to sec 3 parents. There are 2 top classes for this yr sec 1 for GeP and those with >250. They will be doing the Pre IP programme. No banding from this yr onwards for all the other students.
Not to worry abt the streaming. This year it seems quite jumbled up. I know of two same tscore in far apart classes. And also lower tscore in higher classes. HOL also mentioned that class allocation is random. But I still think that the top 1 or 2 batches is those with 250 above, so that they can do the IP soft launch. Rest are random.SS66:
Hi aljh,

DS in overnight camp today. Feeling lonely.

tisha:
Haha...you'll get used to it. DS is sec 3 but he is a PSL, so he is at the camp too. In fact for the last week, this is his 2nd camp. Last week end he was in Bintan for sec 3 camp.DS in overnight camp today. Feeling lonely.
But hey, looking fwd to orientation tomo. -
The orientation yesterday was quite impressive. The boys too had a grt time at the camp. And to think the camp was mainly managed by the PSLs :salute: Even part of the ceremony ( initiation/badge pinning ) was handled by the PSLs :rahrah: They seemed to have boundless energy and enthu. Especially liked the farewell cheers for the sec1s. Was expecting the sec1s to be very tired(what with bedtime past 1am :yikes: ) but they too had caught on the enthu of their seniors and each boy came out with a smile. Overall the boys at SJI seem to be a happy lot. Next week onwards will be proper lessons. I hope the academic rigour is also well balanced. Not to pushy but not too slack that need to depend on external tuition.
The orientation also had variou addresses by the P, DP, HOL, CCA head etc. Somehow I was not much impressed by the P. But the DP always leaves a nice impression. He has a sense of calm, caring nature and can immediately connect to the people. The HOL never fails to get a roar of laughter from the audience with his sense of humour
