Nanyang Primary

Hi NYPS parents,


Will be my turn to send my son there in 2014.

Just to check:
1. Any school bus to AMK?
2. Chinese standard really very high? Mine doesn't speak a word of Chinese though he can read and write.

Am getting jittery about the Chinese standard as I can't help him very much with that.

Don’t think the Chinese standard is that high, at least in P1 and P2. At lower primary, the focus is on listening and speaking. There are more show and tell for Chinese than English so far.

*phew*

Great!
I was starting to get very worried.
Been trying to brush up on his Chinese at home but we're all clueless (I got a C6 for O levels and that was the last time I touched Chinese).

Can I ask, what’s the usual marking for tests? Own class teacher mark? ( So if teacher is strict type, then pupils are disadvantaged) There is no common marking? ( Like all same level teachers mark together, n a teacher mark a particular Qn for the whole level) Many schools are doing this, even for lower primary. A few parents were chatting n found out that English n Chinese tests hv some "problem". No consistency in marking? Only Math dept is ok.

I would like to know if a P2 child total score around 270/300 got chance to P3 HA class?


Pick the Top 160 students, so each class will have around 12 to 13 students qualify.

May be got chance?

I think it really depends on the strength of the entire cohort? But an average of 90% is already very good.

Hi VooVoo

I also think an average score 90% is very good, however I look at my DD Class for english and chinese test most really score high marks.

English - At least 12 score 40/50 and above.
Chinese - At least 20 score 27/30 and above.
Math - I am not very sure.

With those high scorers from her class, I really have no idea with her average score of 90% is good enough to go HA?

May be need some information from the parent who have kids now in High Ability class, can share?

:thankyou:

Yup…I’m also interested to know the past year’s trends…


Also would the class teacher start to monitor the HA students since P1? And is the selection based purely on academic results, ie, what if the child is not exhibiting consistent top results but is noticed to be HA by nature?
