Hi,

Anyone knows what is the agenda like at the orientation in Nov?
Heard that some schools actually give a mini-test to facilitate grouping of kids into classes. Is this true for SJIJ?
TIA!!!

Hi muffin

No such thing in SJIJ from what I know. Grouping of classes for P1 is according to the birth month of your son (if they did not change it). My son's year was group in the birth month way, for eg; if your son was born in April, most of his classmates were be April kids.

Hi All,


My DS will be in P1 next year and am thinking of placing him into Derbyshire Kindergarten. Any comments or review (good/bad) about this after school care centre? The fee is about $420/mth…

The location and proximity to school is good. Currently not more than 5 Pri students.

School bus available to arrange back home transportation.

If has such mini-test, i think those parents can inform our Minister Heng to address this too.

Allocation to class was by date of birth. However, I do vaguely remember a mini exercise in the classroom during orientation (dunno whether they still do it though). My guess is that the mini exercise might have been just to spot anyone who needed extra help at the start of school, eg those who didn’t go to kindergarten? You can always call the school to check.
