Don't worry too much - I am sure your DS will be fine. Does he already knew his class or have to wait till 14 December for the class allocation to be out on AsknLearn, like the rest of cohort? The stress will be higher if he is in 4A or 4I which are historically the top p4 mainstream classes in Taonan (not sure if it will be the same this year). Jiayou

4K, 4L and 4M are the GEP classes.

After their P3 exams, the top 15% of the P3 students are shortlisted and invited to go through 3 rounds (written, interviews and a games section) to select students who have an interest and are strong in Chinese Literature and culture. Hence the mainstream BICEP class, i.e. 4J (which is made up of an exclusive 25 selected students handpicked from the rounds but this does not mean these 25 students are the top 25 students in their cohort). Thereafter, remaining students are streamed - 4A and 4I are the top mainstream class (so there are also very smart students in these 2 classes who couldn't get into BiCEP as their interest or understanding for Chinese Literature and Culture are not clearly shown during the rounds).

So yes, 4J is also a top class but it is BiCEP mainstream. I was referring to the mainstream classes hence 4A and 4J. Hope I do not make you confused :boogie:

Parents, Class allocation results will be made available on Ask & Learn Portal from next Monday, 14 Dec 2016 onwards. Good luck!

Hi


Wondering if any parent with kid(s) in afternoon session staying at near Telok Kurau Lor K will be willing to give daughter (P2/2016) a ride on the way back from School for a fee? I only need one way. If anyone interested, please PM me! TIA!

Hi everyone,


I know this is very last minute.

My son is transferring to Tao Nan for P4 in 2016. We need to find him a student care centre. So far checked with YMCA and Hot Shotz. Both are full. Only managed to contact Just Kids HQ which told me that they will not be providing student care service next year

Are there any other choices of a near by student care centre?

UPDATE: Masterhand at east coast road has vacancies. But it's too inconvenient for us. We ended up staying at the current student care at Bedok and taking the school bus.

We stay at Bedok. If there are Bedok student care centres that provide transportation service, we would also consider.

Thanks,

Zehua

Hi Zehua,
I know there are quite a few student care centres in Bedok. I was just researching them months ago. Morning Star was one of them... but at this point it might be waitlist. Try googling, Bedok has quite a few around!

Good Luck!
