dear aps parents,

I am some enquiries about the school:
1) the workload of the kids during P1
it's honeymoon period, so not much work.
2) how do they orient the p1s
been changing over the years, so can't tell you. It could be different for 2016 since it's back to orig campus.
3) are they single session in 2016? And what is their session timing like (start and end school timing)
Supposed to be. Timing may change since it was double session all the while. We can't tell you something that we don't know.
4) will they be moving back to the original campus by 2016?
Yes.
5) do they have open house?

No.

Hi parents,

does anyone know if CA1 & CA2 results carry any weightage towards the overall?

Thanks.

Hi all, I have a child who may be dyslexic. She will only be assessed in Oct when she turns 6. She is currently attending the preschool program at DAS. As Anderson Pri has a DAS centre within it’s compound, I’m wondering if the school teachers are also equiped to handle children with learning disabilities.


Would greatly appreciate if any parents with a dyslexic child in Anderson Pri is able to share your experience with me. She will be registering for P1 this year. You can PM me. Thanks!!!

Thanks.

My son said that it will count only if there's a tie for SA1 and SA2 overall results. I think he meant to say that it will only be used when ranking the top few kids.

Some questions about day care service:


1) Does APS provide day care service?

2) What is the recommended day care service in the neighbourhood?

3) Is it recommended for P1 to start day care service?

Next year, the school will move back to its original location when the reno is done & there is a day care service center just opp the school.

Hi, may i know in the upper primary, do the teachers give a lot of extra classes for every students, be it students with good or poor results?


Read a few people commented about given worksheets and didnt get back or didnt mark? Is it still the case now?

Hi Ksstich

They do have supplementry class & high achiever class after school, like twice a week.
That covers all subjects.
For the worksheets, my dd does not have that issues, teachers always go thru the papers.

Hi. Ksstitch,

Yes, I second your remark. I also came across similar cases from APS P6 students too. Worksheets were given as homework but were never collected by teacher to mark, still carried in the students’ school bags until next term and they dared not remove as afraid one day teacher will ask for it. Teacher never go through answers with students as well. English compo is also done so rarely. What’s more, teacher only gave topic in a worksheet as homework, no explanation nor elaboration. After students handed in their written compo, they never see it anymore… wonder if it’s being marked or reviewed by teacher… sigh…

Hi SOSmum and SAHM2013,


Appreciated your replies on the school!
Seems like the rare compo practice and doing unmarked worksheets are really worrying!

SOSmum, which level is your DD in now?

May I know if Anderson teaches HCL from p1 onwards?

Thanks
