hi all, I'm new here! Just joined this forum.


My elder girl is also in PHPPS. Glad to find this thread.

Donkey, take heart - result is not everything (though it's really hard not to compare at times) and i guess PHPPS' standard is really high. I had a shock myself when i saw the postion ranking in report book.

My girl is also going pri 2 next year...:)

oh, which class she is in?

[garlicmummy]

hey Donkey,


She's going Loyalty 2. She called me from school the moment she knew it - she was a little disappointed, just like your daughter. But i think she has improved a lot too compared to SA1. So like you, i also had a little celebration with her.

Her good friend is going peace2 as well. And my friend's daughter is going peace2.

At least the good news is, they are not denied the opportunity to move up each year.

Attended the Orientation today. Quite chaos. :shock:

I think you must be refering to the chaos when the parents queue up to submit the forms. I think they choose a very poor location to set up these counters just outside the general office where the traffic is obviously going to be heavy. All counters squeeze together on a few pathetic small tables and the class sign is not prominently display. Can't they find a better place in the whole school compound ? :?

Only P5 and P6 has supplementary lessons every Tue and Thur. It's like Term 1 odd week will be EL and CL, even week will be MA and Sc. Then Term 2 odd week MA n Sc, even week EL n CL. Then alternate Term 3 and 4. Each lesson is 1.5 hr on normal days. Sometimes the teacher will extend to 2 hr with advance notice.

Although these lessons are called supplementary, they are actually normal classroom lessons.

I was at the sch bookshop this afternoon to collect my set of pre-order books.


First :x have not packed, so our little friend (think relatives /children of the bookshop operators) went around picking the books.

Second :x only 1 Q. After serving a parent, the \"cashier\" walked away, leaving the payment counter cum the only Q unattended. No one came to take up her position. All other parents stood outside the room. I called to our little friend and told him to give me back my booklist if no one wants to collect payment. Then someone came.

Aiyo, I feel like writing a letter to the bookshop to advise them how to run the business.

This is not the first time. they are like this every year. sigh.

Yes, this happens to me last year when my girl was in P1. As mentioned in my previous quote, thei bookstore has the worst system that i've never seen. At least you can fax in your order now, previously we have o queue for hours to get the books. When the school asked for feedback, i've put in my comments on this....
