My son is currently in P6 preparing for mid year exam now. I must say that I am very disappointed with the preparation the P6 students are receiving.


I have an elder son who was previously with Nanyang Primary. The quality and quantity of work sheets given by the 2 schools are quite different. For Math, MSHS worksheets were mainly from the practice workbook and some MSHS past papers, wherelse NYPS had a lot more in-depth challenging questions on top of the past yrs papers and workbook. My son's Math tuition teacher who has students in St Andrew commented that MSHS's Math homework are very much lesser as compared to other schools. Mothers of past MSHS P6 boys also complained to her that MSHS gave out little homework.

At the start of the year, son told me that his English teacher said she will not be giving out a lot of homework to them this year so as not to stress them out. Now that we are mid year through, i realised the teacher kept to her word, OMG. If the school dont prepare them well this last P6 year, then when?

Since there is the P1 registration coming along shortly, I thought I'd just share with parents that it might not be worth it to push too hard to come to MSHS.

My boy is also in P6 this year but his Math teacher gave them lots of other Math worksheets/assesment practice book beside those that you have mentioned. As for English, his teacher will 'grab' any opportunity to teach them and they are always loaded with homework almost everyday.

Hi Cherrygal,

This is the form.

Ds brought home the Chinese form on Tuesday n the Robotics form on Wedneaday.

Luckily haven't hand in the Chinese consent form yet...

Thanks! I almost handed in the chinese camp form. Prefer him to go for the robotics one as it seems more interesting.

Guess our DS in P2 will be going for the same thing (Robotics). I know the vendor for robotics. Should be interesting and engaging. DS did mention to me he wanted to go for robotics. Last year I signed him up for the computer course instead of robotics. He told me I should have signed him up for robotics instead as his friends told him it was very fun. Hope our DS will enjoy it!
