To P2/P3 parents :

Any idea how the P2 students are being split to the different P3 classes?
Someone told me its based on P2 results but will never reveal to the parents (scared of \"uproar\" :rant: among parents.. ).. but i also heard its based on the CCAs that they joined...
Hmm.. but all are hear-say only...

There will be 1 - 2 sports classes for selected students. Other than the sports class, the other students are split randomly into different classes - this is the school's public position. This seems to be true as my kid's class in P3/P4 did include some very bright kids and some who faced problems in their studies.

At the end of P4, the students will be first separated into those taking HCL and those who are not taking HCL, then by results. There is also 1 sports class in P5/6.

Hi Freesias
Thanks so much for the info!
I hope there will be some briefing for the parents so that we understand the system better.
I am now \"threatening\" my DS that if he does not study hard this yr, he will be posted to a class next yr without all his good friends... just a tactic to make him study.... :rahrah:

Hi all,

Just came to know this website today.
Happy to see some daddy & mummy’s sharing.
My boy just entered P1 this year.
Me started to stress when I saw his homework.

Hi All

My boy mentioned that there is supposed to be an Art textbook. I remember reading from the forum that there is one also. I check his booklist but it is not there. Can anyone share regarding the textbook?

Meanwhile, he is interested in Wushu. However, I understand that the sch only requires the kids to take Wushu from p3 onwards. Any parents with kids in lower primary that enrol their children in CCA? Can share further?

I have emailed Pei Chun about Wushu.

They said there is only Wushu Enrichment class for P1 . You would need to look out for the newsletter around May for the registration info.

After that the coach may select pupils from the group to take up as CCA from P2 onwards. The reply is not so clear on if the pupils are not selected.

Anyway i have just signed my child instead with a nearby CC. When the time comes , may try to register them for the Pei Chun sessions.

Thanks for all the info... I am also concerned with how the school is going to split up the P2s... I hope parents will be told rather been kept in the dark...

In the past from P2 to P3, the school will split according to the results. For instance, position 1 will go to P3A, position 2 will go to P3B, position 3 will go to P3C and so on. So there will be mixture of talents across the class. Not sure whether there will be changes with the new principal.

My son brought back a consent form for ASPIRE program to be attended twice weekly. No mention what this is about, anybody knows? Pei Chun communication is quite bad.

Any idea what are the topics tested and the format?

[iLoveChubby]

Hi marmum

I rem'ber last yr (P1), the students were given a notification of what topics/areas were being covered/tested before each MA.
I guess we will just hv to wait for that.
Meanwhile time to dig out the assessment books and past yr papers...
