I don't know about other levels, but for P3, we were only informed of the classes that our kids are allocated to and not HA or MA,etc. We guessed what are the HA classes based on where the top 5 achievers fm the P2 classes are streamed to. Later I learnt that for this year's P3, there are 4 classes with a mix of the top kids and the next tier, in each class. Hence, there is no 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th classes (unlike prior years) but a mix of HA kids in all 4 classes. For the rest of the 7 MA classes, I think they are allocated to classes based on their P2 results. Note that there are many kids I know who scored in the 80-90+ range in MA classes so they probably just missed the HA class requirement. There is basically no difference in P3 HA or MA classes except that the teachers probably teach at a faster pace in the HA classes and competition is very very firece![/quote]So, which are the top 4 P3 classes?verykiasu2010:
[quote=\"VooVoo\"]What does mixed ability means? Does the school tell you which class your kid is in - HA and not HA etc?
If in HA (High Ability), will be notified by school. -

I remember Mrs Lee mentioned that MOE would provide a list of those students and they would be grouped in the same class(es). The school has to follow the list strictly. Those students would involve in some GEP projects.http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/gifted-education-programme/high-ability-learners/mathematics-and-science/
this is the official classification of \"high ability\" learners
some parents and schools may have used it too loosely
by definition, it is a group that misses out in the GEP selection but must have done relatively well in the second round test
in NYPS, it is about 2 to 3 classes from pri 4 onwards -

For P3 this year, HA classes are 3I, 3E,3F and 3G.
For P4, I thought Mrs Lee mentioned that the top few % who missed the GEP (top 1%) will be grouped as ‘intermingling’ and fm this year’s P4 slide presentation (in sch website), I read that this gp of student is allocated in the classes together with the GEP kids. They take similar subj with GEP kids except Math, Sc and Eng.
Whereas for streaming of HA & MA classes, it will be based purely on P3 results and not GEP selection, isn’t it? -
My DS is starting P1 next year, could someone help advise if the \"Optional Booklist\" is necessary? :scratchhead:

verykiasu2010, things have changed a bit this year. It used to be these HA students are in mainstream classes and then \"pulled out\" to join the GEP students for some lessons (e.g. CL, Social Studies). This year, they implemented the \"intermingling\" classes, which is similar to the \"twinning\" classes in Nan Hua, where they are mixed with GEP students (I think now there are such 6 classes), and then they will be \"pulled out\" to join the mainstream HA students for Math, Sc, and Eng. I think there's where the subject banding comes into the picture..? -
