May I check for which subject and which level?

Hi all,

I want to check, for a P2 to get into the best class in P3, generally what sort of overall scores minimum would be needed? Since there are no statistics given by teachers, just wanna check and hopefully aim for that. Tks.

Hi

P3 classes will be categorized according to child's CCA. As what i understand from my child (p4 next year), there are a few sports classes , CO class, Chinese dance, etc.

The split of the class will be in P5.

cheers

Hey folks!

Can someone enlighten me what is the whole idea regarding the sports classes? Do you think the students are spending too much time in CCA, especially Volleyball? If this gives them opportunity for DSA-route, perhaps it still make sense but if there’s no benefit to it, why spend so much time?

Yes, the split of classes will be in P5. To be sure of getting into A class, the average for all subjects will probably need to be above 80.

So does this mean that only their P4 results will determine whether they will get into the best 2 classes in P5? I suppose P1-3 results will not b considered at all?

Of the 2 top classes at PC, is there a 1st best and 2nd best, or it is a mixture of the top students?


Thanks!

hi Precious2.lee

I think bridesep, Callie Tan, tablespoon have discussed the sports class in depth earlier. You could search backwards to understand more. In a nutshell, the sports class is meant for the school at P3/P4 to identify potential school team players & provide additional coaching for table tennis, volleyball and basketball.

Training for sports class CCA is 3 times a week. Yes no doubt it is a lot of time spent BUT if your child is keen, children can adapt easily. The sports class teachers will also be mindful not to give too much homework on those days they stay back.

DSA? Very individual - possible but still depending on child - if they are keen and if they have talent. After going thru the sports class, they will know if they choose the sports DSA route, this means at sec school same or more time commitment for the sports. However with DSA, less pressure at PSLE.

Benefits? Exercise - I think our children do not play enough. Strong friendship bonds - imagine if the kids meet additional 3 times a week - they have more time to play and talk w their friends. Time management - I hope lack of time will inspire my child not to waste time when it comes to time for homework/studying.

hi iLoveChubby, seanwife

With the current principal, what I know now may change. Based on my DD's cohort. P5 selection is based on P4 results. Yes, generally A & B are top 2 classes. A class is the best class. What other parents tell me is that school tries to have an equal percentage of boys and girls in a class, so selection is by gender then merit. This year DD told me the top ten of the P5 cohort, 9 come from A, 1 from H (sports class).
