GB and Handbells are quite different. One's indoors and one's outdoors, with marching. One thing to note is GB is a Christian organization. Not sure about this, but there should be camps for GB?

GB meets 1-2 times a week, while Handbells meets twice a week, more when they're preparing for SYF, competitions and concerts. Note that not everyone gets selected for SYF.

What to do? Must be systematic otherwise some people will accuse the school of biasness.

My daughter is in Sec 1 and on Leave of Absence. I haven't been able to get much response from the school office so far, so I have a few questions if helpful students/parents would be willing to answer.


Are students are assigned a class while on LOA? And what sort of academic support (list of topics covered, test papers etc) does the school supply while the student is away?

Has the school handed out any Sec 1 syllabus for the various subjects listing topics to be covered etc? Would some kind person be willing to email them to me? I would like my daughter to keep abreast at least to the extent of reading up on the topics covered. I'm particularly interested in subjects like Philosophy, Biology and Literature which don't have a 'textbook'.

I have managed to log onto iNet with my daughter's name, but can't get into the parents' portal. I managed to initially by adding 'p.' to my daughter's ID, but it doesn't work now. Any idea why? Also, iNet doesn't seem to work with Firefox, but with IE I get error messages when trying to view .pdf documents. Anyone encountering similar issues?

Thanks in advance!
