Zack,

i guess i will have to check out again based on this fare. guess this is really a case of pure business man's thinking - very jia lak...

if i'm really not able to get a seat, how?? :scared:

It's definitely a case of $$ and cts ... So if you do not want to deal with the stress of making your pte arrangements... May take my suggestion and see what they say

I attended Henry Park's P1 orientation ... I thought I was relieved when they said that there are no examinations in P1:

- there will be ongoing mini assessments to test the kid's understanding of subjects being taught
- The end of year report will not be in the form a grading (if I recall correctly), basically the end of year report will comment on the teacher's observation of the kid's overall performance and how he is coping at school.

My wife thinks otherwise... Anyway not sure if it is common not to have year end exams for P1 :?

I heard from my colleagues, one next year in P1 in Tao Nan and the other one in P1 at Ai Tong, all told me that their kids will not have exams in P1 too. think its the norm now since MOE announce that they are doing away with exams for lower primary.

I think I like it better with mini tests, at least its progressive and we will know if the kids are learning and coping well in school…


However, is it compulsory to have a CCA for P1?

I forgot the school hours for P1…


Anyone can help remind me again?

Thanks
