How can I find out the cost of the school bus service? Is it made known on orientation day?

You can call the bus driver to find out. The sch gives out a list of drivers' contact numbers in the orientation pack, together with book list etc etc.
Btw I pay <$95. Maybe the charges go by distance, no. of kids on the bus etc..

For a gauge, i stay in CCK, n the sch bus driver quoted

$95 for one way for next yr.

Think it depends on type of bus too. Mine is the big coach, old type, $65 for 2-way this yr. We stay in CCK too

Any information about P5 SA2 results?

Hi, would you like to introduce yourself first?

[abc123mama]

Hi, my son is in L9. It seemed like he did badly in SA2 for science and Chinese comparing to his SA1 results. I can feel that my son lost motivation in the second half year. Now he told me the highest score in Chinese is 85 /90, but he only got 72 /90. I felt so difficult to drive him now as he told me most of his friends have such marks. Science paper 2, highest 30+/40, but he got just 23 / 40 and told me most of students are like that. I really felt worried now. How far he will slip in the list in P6 final? The attitude really counts. He is dumb to scolding now. How to motivate him? He stay alone at home every afternoon. No pressure at all now.

Hi, your son is right that the science paper is a killer this time. if many pupils get about the same marks, then it is not him who has declined, but that the paper difficulty has increased. I think his Chinese result is quite good, if my son gets that kind of mark, i will be very happy, but i guess u have higher expectation on him or perhaps he is in C1 class. Well, only you know whether your son has tried his best. For me, the mark is secondary as long as my son shows that he has tried his best and not careless. cheers.

Hi abc123mama

I am having similar feeling as you. I realised that children nowadays like to comment that most of their classmates get around the same marks as them in order to "show" that they are not doing too badly. But many times, I am wondering if it is really true that getting results around 75 is a norm nowadays even for an above average student, and just to pass higher chinese is already good, according to what my child says.
I am concerned that if they face such "norm" at such young age, and truly, they are already quite immuned to low marks (from their comments), is it really doing them any good in boosting their morale to obtain higher grades?
Sigh! Is it necessary for the school exams to be set at such a high standard nowadays?

My son did not like to do mock paper. At home, we did not try any Chinese mock paper as he refuse to practise. He was also not happy to attend any tuition class. He is always at home reading books as he tells me in the afternoon while I am at work. But I think he may play handphone at home as I find he always put his phone in his pocket. I will send him to some tuition course in P6. Feel so worried.

yes,this year's science paper seems a killer. My son feel very sad yesterday about his Science paper 2 and Chinese results. He told me that the highest is 30/40 for science paper 2 and no full mark for paper 1.

Wow, 85/90 for Chinese paper 2. :yikes:

The school does provide a percentile to show roughly where your child result is in comparison to the class and the school cohort. That will give you a guide on whether it is an individual case or it is across the whole cohort. This info is usually given out together with the report book.
