Hi Sim,

I shall speak based on what I know for Pri 1 as my DS is in Pri 1. The class size is 30 students.

The day start at 7.40am to 1.30pm on all days except for Tues till 3pm. Recess is 30mins. For Pri 1 & 2 is 10.30am-11am and additional lunch from 1pm-1.30pm on Tuesday.

For those weaker students, the remedical class is held on Thursday 2pm-4pm.

For those students who opt to join CCA, the CCA for Pri & 2 is on Friday.

Hi part-time mum,


Thanks for your info! I’m Singaporean & I wish to send my kids back to Sin for study but not many choices for schools. Find this school quite good. The school starts not so early & ends not late (only for 1 / 2 days). Schools in Sin really starts so early:( Why it’s so late on Tues … assembly???

Will there be exams for P2 students & is there higher Chinese? So sorry for so many questions!

Regards

Hi Sim,

Sorry, I do not know if there will be exam for P2 students or any higher Chinese available in TPS.

But I must really thanks TPS for changing my DS (from someone who don’t touch books at all) to someone who enjoy reading in a short span of time. Now, my DS can spend an hour or more reading quietly on his own after dinner, instead of playing or watching TV.

Hi there

P2 will have only SA2
TPS offers higher Chinese from P3 onwards

However they start to stream the kids (Chinese) from P1

Hope these helps

hi redjazzy,


Thanks!Hope my kid can make it to the higher Chinese stream. He is using traditional Chinese right now therefore he might needs sometimes to change to Simple Chinese.

Do u know if they have streaming for the kids yearly (for all subjects) or the kids will stay in the same class for 6 yrs?

Hi mom,


Are there English textbooks & workbks for P2? Is there a handbk for the student to write down the daily tasks?

Thanks!
