St Anthony's Primary

[cool_hi]

hi, bb_mom,

may I check on the remedial/extra lessons which the school arranges for p5 and p6 classes, to stay back to attend after formal school hours??

From what I know, last year's p6 class, only need to stay bACK once a week for 2hours,to cover 3 subjects, which would be rotated to cover 1 subject per week, meaning each subject get only around 2 hours per month??
But I note that this is for an average class, not the top classes..

May I know for top classes(there 2 top classes?? the rest are not ranked according to results, is it??), how many days they need to stay back for extra/remedial lessons??

I am asking as I am deciding for my son's registration next year, between St Anthony Pri, and the school which my girl is attending right now(which will be direct entry and fuss free) but very academic-driven and super competitive environment, and am worried that it may not suit my son..
But on the other hand, also worried if St Anthony is too lax..
haha..maybe I thinking too much and too far

Thanks In advance for any advice/clarification from u and other parents

Yes, remedial/supplementary classes are all after school from 130pm onwards. MT on Mondays and the rest on Thursdays. MT is held every week but the remaining subjects are kind of random dates. These are issued at the beginning of the year when the selected student is notified of such lessons. Fridays are reserved for CCAs.

Yes, that's right. And during the June hols, I think it was 3 days either at the beginning or at the end. Can't really recall.

The rest of the classes are grouped according to their strengths in specific subjects, according to DS. His class is supposedly better in science and weak in remaining English and math. MT is separately grouped.

As I mentioned, 2 days are reserved for remedial but only if required. Compulsory supplementary classes start in p6.

Only if weak in the subject. Which I doubt would be the case for the top classes. DD didn't have remedial class although we wouldn't have minded the FOC extra help.

Hello Parents,

P1 registration is about to start soon.
Anyone will be registering their child for SAPS?
I stay at JE central, but am considering SAPS (5km away), or Fu Hua Pri (walking distance).
Any advice would be appreciated!!!

St Anthony primary is affliated to a Secondary school.

St Anthony is also a mission school -
your child can join their early morning character mission values lessons.

Fu Hua -
is not affliated to any Secondary school

on the last day of Phase 2C, around 4 pm -
if your child is SC and St Anthony no need balloting, then choose St Anthony
but if involve balloting, then take the one nearer your house

closing time for P1 registration = 4.30 pm

last year (2013) P1 registration
All SC children were admitted into St Anthony primary.
no balloting required.
refer #79

Hi,


Need advice.

St Anthony or dazhong Pri?

Reason being cousin has a confirm place in dazhong n if both kids go dazhong, it be easier for my mum to fetch…

Any advice on the plus of each schools…

Thanks in advance.

I understand it’s a single session.


Can check what time school starts n end?

Thanks.

[bb_ mom]

It’s currently 2 sessions but I guess when move back to original site, it’ll become single session?


School starts at 7.20am but need to be there by 710am. Lets out at 1pm.

If you can send kid to school, please do so. DS takes school bus to school and he’s the last to be picked up and even then that’s at 620am! Even better if can walk to school.
