Sorry to hear that. Yes I was told if my DD miss any of the test, and math performance test, will not entile to any awards. This has been practice for many years. It is the school policy.


So my girl has to change her piano exam, ballet exam to the late afternoon so that she will not missed any school test.

Since is a new principal, many things will change. We never know. :? But I was also heard that this new P would like to see her students been given more chance to excel and award them at the end of the year.

I heard my friend DS school, each year one student receive only one award, unlike some year have been seeing one student received 2 awards.. By doing that, it give more students have the chance to be selected for awards. It help to boost better moral to students who want to achieve it, especially the weaker one.

Well,

Sorry to hear that. Nevertheless, give your DD a good hug and go celebrate this achievement in your own way! The award is just a piece of paper? What matters more is the actual results, in my opinion. As long as your DD knows it, you know it, that's good already. :hugs:

Thanks Busymom!! :hugs:

Hi hamster,


The big problem here is that there is no communication at all that children with MT exemption are not eligible for HA awards! The info sheet the school gave out early in the year states if any test missed except school team competitions, the child's final result will not be eligible for the award. But there is NO mention of those exempted from MT at all, so I had assumed they are eligible. Poor communication!! :razz:

Though the P did say she will review this policy so it may take effect next year, my dd already missed the boat this year....

Now I fully understand why some ksp parents say NYPS has poor management of information, and why some parents were so disappointed with the Singapore school system that they chose to leave. Sigh....

Thanks to all who have replied me. I got my info from one teacher. From the way I see, seems that different teacher says different thing which means THEY will NOT tell. As for top 4 HA class, it’s zig zag streaming. This, I am sure cos the school did e same for other levels n GEP, Masta classes. It’s more scary cos competition is more " close", as close as full marks for whole class.

Hi, does anyone know how is META prog like in NYPS? Was briefly informed tt kids in META prog will GEP students for some classes except EL, Science, Social Studies n Maths. That means only left with Chinese, music , PE… (what else?) the 2 groups will do together. What’s d point? Also, does it META students are actually in different class from GEP (in other words, GEP students are grouped in one class)?


Hope to clear all these confusion. Many thanks.

ECCA = Enrichment CCA - need to pay
CCA - sch's official CCAs and free!

I see! Thanks for the explanation. Should be no different whether one pays or not, right?

So we sign up for CCA when school reopens?

Any mums here that went for the MTP last night for P3s? Can share some highlights on importants points and also what’s are the key difference when our kids go to P4 next year. Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Hi hi I was there. I quite ignored the principal as she is too long winded.
143 went into GEP round 2. 34 in GEP and 60 will be in META.
Verbally she said 3 classes band for High Achiever class but on slides it shows 2. So this is still pending. Banding based on Math and science, she said strong in Math usually will be strong in science ( ha ha I beg to differ, my girl got 90 over for math but her science is band 2) Class allocation pending for teachers to update u probably they need to wait for GEP allocation, META form to be submitted thereafter the banding will start. Based on last year experience, I think we can wait till last week of Dec.

Next on Result Analysis - Level
English : Mean 83.20 Highest 98 Lowest 26
Chinese : Mean 79.2 Highest 96 Lowest 15
Math : Mean 80.5 Highest 100 Lowest 18 (75% of the students got A - A*
Science : Mean 75.5 Highest 97 Lowest 17 ( 65.4% of the students got A-A*)

By the way, which class is your kiddo in ? Mine in 3D
