There is no streaming from P2 to P3. Only P3 to P4 based on three subjects minus Chinese.

our Mother Tongue can be Chinese, Malay or Tamil.


asking on behalf of my friend …
are there any Non-Chinese pupils here taking up Chinese, as 2nd language Mother Tongue ?
is it allowed ?

if Not allowed -
can Non-Chinese pupils sit inside Chinese lessons just to learn Chinese be exposed to the language, but do not take the P6 Chinese PSLE paper ?

[Mishasha]

Many non Chinese students take Chinese as MT, weaker students screened out to do as foundation subject. I came across quite a few non Chinese students @ the Chinese reading program while I was doing PV there.


Since the student take up Chinese as MT, she would not be able to attend other MT lessons as timing clashes. If not taking Chinese in PSLE, how to score with only 3 subjects?

This is not compulsory but the response was overwhelming. Sch short-listed 40 of them during the 1st round & thereafter, the girls had to attend interview. In the end, would choose 20 of them as there were 4 teachers travelling and each teacher was assigned to 5 girls. If I recalled correctly, it was around $1450 for 5D4N.

Having said, once these girls have attended the immersion trips, future trips will be given priority to those who have not attended yet.
