Thanks Capricon!...for a moment I thought I've missed the opting period or something like dat.

Ah bee, you are welcome.


My gal told me that her class will be learning swimming every Tuesday starting on the 5th February. Does any P2 parents know abt this? Consent forms hv not been given yet but my gal has been informed by her form teacher.

Oh yes, my gal already passed the form to me on Friday.
The swimming programme is called Swimsafer Stage 1, conducted over 8 sessions of 1.5hr per session on every Tuesday. Cost is ony $10 for the entire course.

My gal is extremely interested to go, she is a non-swimmer btw.

However I have my concerns as the timings are very rush.
Dismissal @ 1:15pm for light lunch and to change into swimwear.
Report @ foyer @ 1:35pm.
Depart from school @ 1:50pm
Arrival @ Anchorvale CC @ 2:00pm
Lesson from 2:15pm - 3:45pm
Dismissal @ 4:15 @ school foyer

20mins for light lunch + change into swimwear + school uniform over..... very rush right?...hmmmmm

Thanks for sharing. I just asked my daughter and she forgot to give me the consent form. I am reading the form now. It does seem a bit rushing but I am more concerned abt the schedule as there is a month break in March. Would the kids remember what they learnt in February when they attend the class in April?


My gal is a non swimmer too, after reading the first page, I realized it is an introduction course. I think I’ll let my gal attend the course to gain some exposure. I am more worried abt the kids safety though.

Yup


I thought that swimming lessons would only come when they are in P3
but it seems they made it earlier

Hi! I am curious about the Higher chinese option for p4. I read the consent form and it mention about week 8 of Term 4. Does it mean they only would be able to start the Higher chinese in p5, based on p4 exam result?


Please advise. Thanks!

Hi

Can't help you there both my gals are only in lower primary still

By the way, received a letter about curriculum briefing on 31/01/2012 for P2.
Note the objectives \"expectations of teacher\"

cfan,


Thanks for the update. My gal has not given me the form yet. I read it on their website instead after reading yr posting. I wonder what is the teachers’ expectations?
