Dear all,


According to the orientation letter, we will only know of the confirmed P1 class by end Dec. Any reason why this is so ?

For those parents with kids already at NCPS, is this the practice being done every year ? Also is it a random grouping of kids into the different classes or there is some way of putting kids into different classes ?

Thanks for sharing also, anyone of your registering for the english and hanyu pinyin camps ? any feedback on these 2 classes as I understand that these 2 camps are usually held every year for new P1 kids ?

Rgds,
Ming

Hi Ming,

On your questions, I am not sure too. However my friend (her son from another neighbour school in the West who also ran the English lessons for their P1 children), she said that her school actually used this platform to stream which class the children will go to. So the better ones goes to the first class, etc. As what you've said, probably parents who have existing kids at NCPS can share on this.

My boy will be going for the two classes as he no longer in kindergarten by that time (at home do nothing).

Yesterday I called their transport vendor to check on their travel routes as I need the service. For those who is keen on it too, the bus routes only covers areas for Sengkang, Tampines, Pasir Ris and Hougang. That's the furthest they will go.

I don’t think there is any "streaming" done for P1 classes, if that is what some of you are suspecting.


In NCPS, the classes remain the same thoughout P1 and P2, unlike other schools where they start to move around the students from P2.

hi all,


Meizi - which class will you child be attending ? i need to sort out the logistics first before deciding on whether can let my girl attend the 2 camps. Actually intending to enrol her in Polaris student care in Dec for familiarisation first. But Polaris very firmly stated that there is no sending/fetching for school holiday programmes conducted at NCPS.

lwm99 - Tks for letting us know. So grouping of P1 kids is purely random, or like going according to which phase the parent registers at ?

btw, any 2010 ncps P1 kids going to enrol at Polaris during this Dec ?

Tks.

Anyway,just only for 10 days course, up to individual.

Is it the first time your child in student care centre ? You can pay for the whole month but can place your child after the NCPS course ,just for her to familiar for 2 weeks before school re-opens. During School holidays , actually I feels that you should spent more time with your child rather then place her to Polaris Student care centre , if possible , of course. No offends.

Check with Polaris care centre whether is possible a not.

Thanks lwm99, that's great. Checked with my colleague, yes and her son was moved to a different class in year 2. Just wonder why the school wanted to 'create' this. Sigh!
