You may approach Polaris Junior (6881 0616) at Blk 323B. My P2 son is there since P1. Heard NC also going to have one in school compound when it turns single session. You may want to check that out too if you can wait.

Ur friend is right but parents hv the option to opt out.

My P6 boy told me that the school principal had breakfast with them. Their recess was extended to one hour. He took the opportunity to motivate them to do well in PSLE. PSLE is getting closer & closer. The kids need lot of encouragement & motivation at this critical period. The principal did a great job!

Then can check if my boy is not in the Top 3 classes, does he has a chance to take higher chinese? Coz his chinese is better than his english.. :scratchhead:

he will have a chance in P5 even he is not in the top 3 classes.
generally every students have to do well in all 4 subjects before they can be consider to take HCL in P5. Just good in Chinese is not enough.

School will recommend P4 students with good overall performance including Chinese to take higher Chinese when they go to P5. However, parents can still opt for higher Chinese even the school did not recommend their kids to take it. Those who take higher Chinese also need to sit for the normal Chinese


However, school will advice those below average performers (including those who passed higher chinese) to drop their higher Chinese in P6 & focus on the other subjects. PSLE higher Chinese points (max 3 points) can only be used to apply for SAP schools. They need to get reasonably good T score (above 230) in order to be qualified for SAP schools. Therefore it only make sense to offer higher Chinese to only top 2 classes in P5 & P6.

Oh..but if the student did not take HCL for 2 years and jump to HCL in P5, he/she will also have a tougher time to catch up his/her HCL in P5. :sad:

Just thinking of letting him have more exposure to Chinese Language since he is better in that. Too bad, the school is still very exam based... as in taking HCL just for the purpose of entering into SAP school.
