      In S1, is there still spelling or dictation for Mother Tongue/English ?


      Kafer, do students normally keep the subject files eg. History,Geography etc in the locker or bring to-and-forth ? Reason for asking is that I am concerned about the weight of the school bag (+laptop) but if leave the files in locker, it is like out-of-sight-out-of-mind ?

      Uniforms - I find there is balling (布面起毛) on the uniforms after a few wash. Is it just us ?

        My file will keep the file at home and bring only those notes that will ne covering in class to sch. Especially maths worksheets.

          My DS does not have a habit of filing since his primary school days. His bag would pile up all the worksheets (done or not done, marked or unmark). He cleared them only each term breaks. I am seeing his school bag getting heavier and heavier now and he still refuses to file them according to the subjects. I am leaving him alone and letting him do what he wants. Hopefully he will realize that things are different in secondary school now. He only being ferried one way to school and I expect him to take bus back. I think give him another few weeks, he will know the consequence as he has to lug the heavier school bag to take public transport and is a long ride home 😉

          I do not see such problem in the school uniform. So far so good ...

              Thanks all.


              Kafer, are you a parent or student ? 😄

              but my son claimed he doesn't know which worksheets the teacher will be covering so he left the whole file in the locker :slapshead:

              Zekezachzoom, my boy also bad in filing ! Now he is leaving everything in the locker. Is the locker so big ? :scratchhead:

                I m a parent. For maths myson will bring the worksheet the teacher is covering now amd a few worksheet of the upcoming chapter.

                Even now at sec 3, I will remind him to keep his file at home so that he can do his filing.

                If i remember correctly, there is only file check for eng, chimese and maths.

                      Teacher asked ds to re-submit his CCA choices as he said difficult to allocate any of his 6 choices. However, when we login in, we found that 3 of his previous CCA choices did not show full allocation. Is it advisable to select these 3 choices again or better to select 6 other choices?

                        Maybe the vacancies are for those short-listed during CCA trial. Best option is to seek clarification from teacher. It is a bit unusual that the school is not able to grant at least one of the 6 choices. Do you mind to share what is his choices?
