Hi,


Do you think the school life in Singapore stressful? Do the kids need to take up lot of interest classes? Which country are you from? I just know that the syllabus is tougher than ours.

Regards

Hi, sorry for late reply. The school life is fine. We are from Indonesia. The syllabus is about the same for math and science.

Hi All, the highest score in Elias Pk is 265.
2 Students from P 6 C scored 265 and 1 girl from P6 D scored 264.

I dont know the percentage, I only know there are 22 students that scored more than 250, as was announced by the VP.

how many top classes are there in Elias Park ?

do they fix these classes, or every year change ?

The top classes in Elias are Courage (C) and Diligence (D) .

Its fixed from P3 onwards. And usually from P5, the student stays with the same class to P6 unless the student from H,L or R performs very well, he/she will be transferred to C or D.

You mean in P5,those frm H,L n R who has done well will be transferred to C or D in P6?

What I heard frm the principal starting frm yr 2013,they will review every year frm P3 onwards, for students ability. So pupils frm C/D can also drop standard and those in HLR cld excel to P4 C/D…
Is this right?
I rembrd there used to be kindness and peace, so now no more?

Pardon me, :imsorry:

I meant it is usually NOT fixed from P3 onwards. Even if Child from P3c, if he doesn't perform well, he wil be pushed down to H L R....

There are more classes in P1 & P2 bcos there are 30 max in these levels. However, from P 3 onwards, there wil be max 40 in a class. However, they wil try their best NOT to make changes from P5 to P6... As they are preparing for PSLE. However, there was a couple of switches in this years P6 cohort.

I shoot myself again and again.


Pardon me, let me rephrase my sentence.

I meant it is usually NOT fixed from P3 onwards. Even if a Child from P3c, if he doesn’t perform,he wil be transferred to another class …

Hi Seestar!

No you are alright,I get what you mean. Dont be sorry…

Btw parents,during the year end MPS last year, a teacher told us the Elite class for 2013 P3 is only Courage. Diligence and Honesty are of the same standard with one subject overpowering the other,mean to say that D can be strong in MA but not that in English and vice versa with H whereas K & L are students with others capabilities apart from academically inclined.
This was confirmed many times by the teacher thruout last year and also after seeing marks from our neighbours kids. One scored 79 for English and 88 for Math went to D while the other with score of 89 For English and 85 for Math went to H. So it makes no difference in segregating the kids.

As Seestar mentioned, those in C can also be dwngraded to other classes based on their performances. So kids could be rotating class year to year till P5.

Wow what happen to all the other parents in EPPS here?
