Hi, sindy_tanho, I am at work now, so can't check my kids files, but if I remembered correctly, on the letter page of the school calendar, that was given to our sons early this month, it mentioned AMODE for term 1 and 3.


So no CA1 nowadays. It will be several series of small tests, almost every week from perhaps next week onwards. Sometimes even more than 1 subject in a week.

The tingxie & spelling in some weeks are counted. Then sometimes daily work also counted. Some project work eg science will be counted. Math will be mini tests, sometimes some counting games in the Math Lab. So all the small marks added together to form the CA1 marks. English will be show & tell, recital etc

Thx for the lightning speed reply
Ok understood, more on consistent learning.
Hv a pleasant wk ahead!

My pri 4 DS is sick and will miss his 2nd MT spelling. How many % do the spellings weigh in the assessment? In DS’ previous school, it was 5%.

hi: in case anyone interested, i have one extra CHS white school uniform shirt to let go at $8. It is washed but not worn (as realized i’ve bought too many). It is size 9, bought it for my son in P1, but he’s still wearing this size in P2. i can pass it to you in school. pls message me if interested, thanks.

Don't worry, the MT teacher said she will give make-up tests.

BTW, anyone knows whether the school gives the CA/SA schedule or list of what is counted?

Any P5 parents here? Any streaming from P4 to P5? (ie are the P5 classes ranked in order of merit or just random allocation for this year)

Only one top P5 class this year (5 Charity) and the rest of the classes are of of mixed abilities. Not sure of the rationale behind this change.

Understand that 4 Charity is also the only top P4 class this year.. As for P6, there is usually no change from their P5 classes last year..

Yes, the teachers will soon give a table that lists what is tested, which week it will be on, & how many % each component is.

Ya, looks like they keep changing the system every year.

My DS is a transfer student whose conduct and results were excellent in his previous school. He knows CHS is a good school and has been active in trying to fit in and make friends, however he has been feeling rather upset with this very senior English teacher who seems to micromanage and picking on him a little. DS, like me, tends to make even more mistakes when being micro managed. Sigh! Can only hope he doesn’t step on the teacher’s toes again.
