Dear Pokemon,


Just saw your post. My son was in P4 Charity and there was no supplementary lesson , maybe there are changes made.

Not sure if your realise the discipline is stricter this year. The school also gave out the activties from now then March 2013 which is good.

This year P3 there is no exam this term, I remember my elder did have exam on CA1.

Jmom,

The supplementary class is supposed to start this friday but yesterday, my kid FT told them theres a change of plan. There will be no supplementary class but will be replaced with remedial classes for weaker kid. She will identify some kids who need to attend remedial. Im thinking if its necessary esp the top class.

Yes, i was grateful for the term 1 schedule but unfortunately they did not indicate whats the percentage of CA1 taken in the final year result. I remembered last year we also have schedule for the whole year but was issued later and accompanied by whats the percentaged for the various tests and exams.

Last year when my kid was in p3, they did have ca1 but marks are not taken. Btw, does your p5 boy tis year need to stay back for any supplementary or enrichment pgm?

Pokemon,


So far my p3 n p5 boys were not asked to attend any remedial class. My p5 boy has a maths olympaid class which is on every thursday n we need to make payment for it.

jmom,


thanks for your reply. I dont mean remedial classes, actually its supplementary class, usually the whole class will do it, not only for weaker kids. I used to see p5 n p6, staying behind after school doing supplementary classes, esp term 2 onwards.

For p3 and 4, they have scheduled 2-3 periods in their class timetable for supplementary periods. I think its sufficient for the kids, not necessary to stay behind for extra supplementary. During those supplementary periods in class, they did more challenging pract on math and eng.

Last yr my child p3 chinese creative writing class was by Edustar, I guessed this year they have changed vendor. Under Edustar, my child did learn quite a fair bit from their materials.

Hi parents,


Not sure about your but I realised recently that the school has alot of last minute supplement class for my P5 boys. Because he is in the Maths Olympics class, therefore he missed his english supplement class.

To me, I feel that the school is not organised and why last minute?

What are your thoughts?

Hi Jmom,


Did you speak to the teacher to understand why there is a last minute supplementary. For my child, this term he has remedial class but I understand that mostly teacher will arrange remedial for student who fare below average based on class performance.

[Jmom]

Hi monster mommy, what I understand is the whole class will attend so is not for e below performance student. There is a form to be signed 1 or 2 days before e supp class start.

Hi Jmom,


I see. I believed that it would be best to check with teacher in charge as not sure whether teacher’s purpose is to push up the class standard. For me, I am agree that last minute information doesn’t do good as there are logistics thing to arrange by parents. Should feedback to the school.
