Hi Callie,


long time no ‘see’…lol. No news about the CCA postings from my DS too.
Agree that the Comms is quite lagging. Maybe its because the PN is only given once a month?

For parents of P2 kids, do you find that the maths is taught in a rather ‘rushed’ way since the beginning of this term? I find that my DS sometimes could become quite lost about the maths taught in class and we have to reinforce at home. Do your kids face this problem too?

Hi mamemo,


Basically I must say that there’re lots of room for improvements in terms of school-parents communication. This does not apply only to the school activities but also academic issues… For eg. my girl has a total of 3/4 Chinese teachers this year!! I don’t even know how many teachers they have changed… it all started because the Chinese teacher went on maternity leave… I feel there’s a need for school to keep us in the loop… and hence, the chinese homework etc is messy…

For maths, it’s still ok… nothing too good or too bad…

Any parents can share on info such as which secondary schools did the Pei Chun P6 students go to? How many Pei Chun students had succeeded in DSA to which schools? Is there such an info? Am hoping to have an idea of the kind of standard we should set for our children in time to come…

Any idea how the children are streamed into P3?

According to my understanding there's no streaming at P2 for P3 classes... not academically but based on CCA? Somehow I hv this impression, pls correct me if I m wrong.

Yes, Pei Chun used to stream the "better academic" P2 kids into better class of 3E in the past. But from last year onwards for year 2012 P3 students, they don’t do it anymore. Now it’s a mixture of all types of academic students in each class. But they still allocate the students according to CCA.

I heard that they reshuffle the kids with same cca in same class so that teacher can arrange for

Revision class easier if the kids misses class due to cca needs…
