A very big difference, between how Chinese is taught in primary vs. Secondary schools[/quote]Glad I could help! The Chinese Department gives a lot of homework! It could be beneficial or really stressful and tiring depending on the student. For me, I find it very annoying and exhausting to do but I believe it is because I hate and am bad at Chinese haha! <br /><br />My holidays homework (Both for May and Nov-Dec Hol) is for me to read 3 articles from newspapers and write a minimum amount of words on a summary of these articles and my thoughts on it each. So the department really encourages us to read and write!<br /><br />It's very disappointing to know some schools under-prepare their students. So relieved to know Compassvale really invest a lot of resources to not only Chinese but also in Maths and Sciences! And the teachers are very open to questions! Half of the school days I ask Math questions (Out of Syllabus because I love Math and have a huge curiosity in it) to my teacher and he stills answers it even if it's out of syllabus!<br /><br />Please note that I also have a fair share of bad teachers, but not all schools are perfect haha! Even RI or HCI have their own good and bad teachers! And also note that the number of compos they give may differ from cohort to cohort but I think it should only be in a 2 compos difference.<br /><br />Any questions on the schools, or secondary school life in general (Subjects, Textbooks, etc.), feel free to ask me! I am always happy to clear them!<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2006915</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2006915</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[ERROR]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 05 Dec 2020 06:25:49 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Compassvale Secondary School on Sat, 05 Dec 2020 02:32:33 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p><blockquote><b>ERROR\" post_id=\"2006346\" time=\"1606837866\" user_id=\"189473:</b><blockquote style="border:1px solid black"><br /><blockquote><b>phtthp\" post_id=\"2006180\" time=\"1606787607\" user_id=\"35251:</b><p><br />This year,  2020 - <br /><br />1) Total (in Term 1 to Term 4), <br /><br />how many Sec 1 zuowen pieces have your Chinese laoshi asked u to write in class so far, in this one whole year ? <br /><br /><br />Are you from bu-hua or gao-hua ?<br /><br /><br />2) Total, <br /><br />how many Sec 1 English composition essays (Not those email type, but full descriptive Narrative full length essay), <br /><br />have your English  class Tr asked you to write, throughout this entire one whole year ?</p></blockquote></blockquote>Hi!

And the school only allow each student to input one choice. (That means they will 100% end up in the CCA they like) Unfortunately, there is no trial period before committing to the CCA. Don't worry though! There will be a day where your daughter can explore the booths set up by the CCAs and the performing arts CCA may have a performance if she is lucky enough!<br /><br />For oversubscribed CCAs (E.g. Aeronautics Club), there will be a series of tests. After the tests, the seniors and teachers-in-charge will decide who will stay in the CCA. Those not accepted will choose a CCA to join that are not as popular. I think that Girl Guides is not oversubscribed so I'm confident your daughter will be able to enrol in it without much burden.<br /><br />For Sports CCAs, there will be a selection trial.

I am a Secondary 1 student in this school. I would say I have nothing much to complain about this school. Teachers are rather decent and really cares about their students. Once, I was failing Chinese and my Chinese Teacher was concerned about my grades, so she approached me to made sure I was ok. So, overall, I think it would be a decent choice to choose this school.

Sorry I couldn't reply before the deadline of submission of schools haha! <img src="https://forum.kiasuparents.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=f4f27f6278e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /> <br /><br />For the first question, my Chinese Laoshi have given my class 7 compositions this year. (Excluding the emails) I am from bu-hua. I would like to inform you that my school does not offer gao-hua. Maybe you can ask the school if your child can go to another school after school to take gao-hua lessons!<br /><br />For the second question, my English Tchr encourages my class to write Discursive Writing instead of Narrative Writing. So, in terms of forcing us to write narrative, it would be only one. (My WA1) In terms of opportunity to write narrative, it would be two. (WA1 and EOY). Sorry, we've never had a practice for Narrative, but we have multiple practices for Discursive.<br /><br />Any further questions, please feel free to ask me!
