Namie:

Hi! Can anyone here share about the wushu school team? How many times do they practice a week, the demands, etc? My son told me he has been asked to join the school team (frankly I am not sure if he heard correctly) but I like to be prepared and make an informed decision. He has his tuition classes and his soon-to-have duty as altar boy. So I don't want him to over commit.

It is always good to let your child be in a CCA that he is interested and can excel in. CCA is important up to Secondary 4. I personally believe CCA wil give your child an all round education. So, if I am in your situation, I will rearrange the other activities around the Wushu. You can look at it from another point of view. It trains your child to be disciplined as well as learn to balance between CCA and studies. If anything, it builds character and he may end up more resilient. Just my 2 cents worth.

Hi Namie,


Can I chk to what level they hve taught the P2s to liao at the moment? Are they at the 剑 or 刀 movements already?

[Namie]

I don’t know where they have learnt. I don’t attend wushu with him because I am usually working during that period of time.


As Altar Boy, he has weekday and weekend obligations, excluding his obligations for other days such as Easter, Christmas, Holy Week, weddings and funerals.

I want to build his confidence as he has been feeling very small every since he went into primary school but I don’t want him to be so tired out that he can’t revise his work. Will see how.

is it p2 results r used to stream the boys in p3? so p1 p2 same class right?

[vicki]

P1P2 same class. I heard P3 change class but not due to ‘streaming’ - rather just to mix the boys ard to make new frens - dunno true or not though.

[24hr-mum]

so the boys will be streamed at which year?

[cherrygal]

Streamed at P4 for P5/6.

Namie,

How many times does the wushu team practise every week?
And what do they teach in wushu?

[Namie]

Last and this year, P1 and P2, it is once a week. Right now still fists, I think.

Hi all. My boy will be in P1 next year.


1st
I heard from moms in his kindergarten that bullyings are very common in all-boys schools :scared:

then :yikes:

cherrygal:

Few weeks back, wanbao reported that one plump P4 boy at Maris was beaten up by a gang of 15 classmates led by the monitor who was a taekwondo expert. The parents said that he has been bullied almost every day by that monitor and he is now afraid of going to school. Then this week (last night's wanbao), a P1 boy was involved in a scuffle with his classmate and ended up with his lips bleeding. His parents called the police and ambulance to the school but the authorities thought the injury was too minor to warrant their concern.

Both parents say the school does nothing to protect the victims and the bullies are tolerated coz the school wants to give the errant boys a chance.

then :sick:

lilfeets:

Does this means i need to send my son for classes to learn to defend himself since the scjool seem to be not doing anything? I was hoping for a school with discipline but this seems to be non-existant based on what i am reading.

Did school step forward (officially/ unofficially) to clarify/ update parents about the bullying case about the P4 boy or other unpublished bullying cases?
