It's more than the Top 5.


If only the top 5, that's 13 x 5 = 65 students only.
But there are 4 HA classes, so about 160 students.

According to Mrs Lee, the school will select the top 160 students
and mix them up in the 4 classes. She said that over the 2 years,
the teachers would have observed who the children can't get along
with, and they will avoid putting those 2 children in the same class.
Other than that, they will also take boy-girl ratio into consideration
to ensure a good mix. So it's not simply 1-40 in first class, 41-80 in
second class and so on.

must say that they are very very accurate in streaming (from experience)

IMHO, streaming has never been and will never be an EXACT science. I would go so far to say that from experience, the powers that be would probably be 90-95% correct. There will be some they may miss out and there will be probably be a few they selected who may not be \"high achievers\".

From past experience, I know of a couple of \"dropouts\" from the GEP classes for example. But yes, generally the selection is pretty accurate.

Pardon my ignorance, is there any difference between HA and non-HA classes? i.e. the usefulness of streaming at P2 to P3 classes…

I am interested to know also.

My DD has asked me, if her marks fall around 90 plus for 3 subjects, will she has the chance to go to HA class from P2 to P3.

I told her to try her best, not to worry. There is only so much a human soul can take in pressure.

The top 38-40% of each cohort gets into HA classess…just a general question, how difficult is it to do so? Is the competition really tough? Just being kpo here…

Hi hamster, VooVoo

Based on what DS went thru, it does seem that the HA classes get to do some 'extra' activities that the MA ones didn't do. Lessons-wise they did the same syllabus as MA but at a slightly faster pace - DS1 had a lot of free-time especially during English on Fridays. :roll:

As for how they class the kids, DS1 was the only one from his P2 class to get into his P3 class. So not really sure what they looked to put them in the class. I know his P3 class had quite a few 'athletes' but DS1 is definitely NOT one of them.

I would say high 90s should be very 'safe' to get into HA. Depends on the year's cohort too.

Hi VooVoo


The competition is really tough, my DD class at
least 5 to 8 of them score 38 to full marks for the 3 subjects. Most of the test full mark is 40.

She was quite upset her recent tests did not scored full mark. She scored 38 marks for her tests. She feel she did not done well enough for her tests. I praise her for the hard works she has done. She indeed did very well for all the tests. I can still feel her disappointment after all the makan treat.

She stress I also stress plus :slapshead:

Oh wow! If we take an average, just the top 10 of each class gets to go to HA classes!


Do these kids score close to full marks for "show and tell" too?

Hi VooVoo

Yes, for my DD class.
