Here my memory is hazy - I cannot remember what combination of core and foundation subject is allowed. I think some take 3 foundation and 1 normal (MT). I think children who remain in the sports class in P5/6 are a combination of those who take all core subjects normal level and some at foundation level. During the relevant lessons, they just split and join another class.

Ok I am lost here... why suddenly got core subjects at foundation or normal leve?? The kids in PCPS all will be taking Maths, Science, English and Chinese right?

Callie, you mentioend that your girl is selected for VB but did not receive the letter to attend the briefing? Pls check with the FT as a friend of mine asked the teacher why no letter, reply was that only parents whose kids are offered Sports Class gets the letter. Could your girl have missed it?


Does PCPS offer VB as a CCA?

Yes, VB is offered as a normal CCA too.


And Callie, at P4, you will attend a parents workshop where you will hear about foundation class… Dont worry about it now. It is for children who really cannot cope with their studies.

I notice that so far, the mummies who share have girls in the VB sports class. I wonder how discipline the boys will be. Not easy to get the boys to stick to a strict regime.

Kin kudos to u n DD for even trying the sports journey. Well she has done it before so once she is certified fit she can always join back if she misses it. I am sure you both will do well with such can do spirit

The Head of PE, Mrs Seah was the teacher who called me. According to her, the reasons why I am not invited for the briefing are 1. My girl is not the top few students selected, she was given a place after the top students opted out and she was then the next in the list; 2. They realized that she is already in CO.

Actually now I am thinking whether I should gate-crash the briefing... hehehe

Yes Mrs Seah said VB can be chosen as a recreational CCA... but seriously, I don't quite understand what that really means.

Bridesep… Individual kids perform differently. This yr in p5 I met a dad of a boy / he says Ds does not study much but results r the same as his elder girl. Both school team pcps players. I think we all exp the sudden surge when the boys overtake girls academically once they wake up lol


Callie go ahead n gate crash n fire away till u get all your anwrs. Good luck

kin:

Callie, I'm not sure, but just a suggestion, since its too early to say anything. Why not let her join sports class and continue CO (after you talk to the respective HODs). On the basis that its unfair to decide at this point of time..?

Hahaha... Ok wait I kenna catch and blacklist by PCPS... you all have to rescue me ya? :roll:

[kin]

Callie,


Mrs Seah is so straight forward… I think she imply then your girl got no slot?yah, just gate crash first and ask…
Btw, another issue, are you in CM ? yr girl with Janice is it?

mummyv, your child in P5 this yr? stressful hor! I agree, the boys catch up eventually. In fact, my girls class got many smart boys…

bridesept, dont worry, my girl always tell me, the boys that are naughty are the ones who get v good grades…I dont think being a boy puts you in a disadvantage… just a teeny bit less mature than girls only…
