Hi KSmums, anyone could advise on which are the few best classes in sequence when the child promotes to P5/P6 in Hong Wen ?

I get the impression that it's different for each cohort. The students will know though.

All the best to P6 students.

Son just informed me that from tomorrow until the exams finish he will be transferred to class 2D. There was no letter from the School. I’m upset that they are doing this without informing us parents. Does anyone know what could be the reason? I know the class alphabets means best or average or poor (students) class. What does class D signifies?

From what I know P1 and P2 are not put into classes based on academic results.


I think it’s best to contact your son’s form teachers (from his previous and current class) to understand the situation.

From what I hear, it's not true. On the registeration day they were told to do some work and was assessed and put into.respective classes based on that. My son's friend from another class said that their Teacher said their class is the best P2 class. I believe it because he always have more work, even their spelling have 'extra' sentences or words. He told he scored 130/100 because Teacher gave extra'!

hi workingmummy,


Class alphabets are just short for the name - D = Diligence. I believe even in P3 onwards where there are ‘best’ classes, it doesn’t go by A,B,C - the alphabets will change.

DS1 told me that he also has to go to another class for the exams. Not sure why they are playing 大风吹, but figured it may have to be for purpose of exams.

Checked with DS . All his classmates are spread out to other classes, only a few left in his class. Kids from other classes going to his class. And seems like kids are randomly picked.

I think they do stream the children based on certain subjects. During p1 n p2, my gal had to move to another class for Chinese lessons. And for math, she had extra class once fortnightly to do enrichment math worksheets. Now in p3, she is in the top class, no more moving/shifting around. And I was told they will stay in the same class for next yr p4 too.

Good to hear she is in top class. Yes. Ds ever tell me before that there are some classmates who have to gmove around.
