P3 streaming how they are going to do? Whole year they conducted small tests only, will they are going to consider that one or only SA2.

Streaming is based on whole year results.

Topical and semester test each stand certain %.

For P1&2, it does not matter which class ur kid is in. is only P3 then the kids are designed to different classes based on their P2 overall aggregate.

Yes, my kid is schooling in Greendale.


The school is very academic based rather than striking a balance between sport and academic. Every year, award presentation for top 10% of the cohort will definitely goes to the first 2 classes.

If your kid managed to get into the first few classes, then you have to be prepare that your kid’s homework will be tonnes. I did a comparison betweeny kid who is in the first class and my friend’s kid in the forth class. Apparently the homework is few times more. I am not saying that no having homework is good. But rather teachers do not communicate with each others while assigning homework. To me, they are completing who gives the most homework. Touch our hearts, I am sure that many parents sent their kids for extra lessons after school. Given that amount of homework and extra lessons, kids are deprived of their own free time.

Make sure your kid join the right CCA. The school put in no effort in promoting and ensure good training environment in grooming the kids. They will only promote and do marketing for CCA the kids do well in. End of the day, it is still not the effort by the school but the effort of kiasu parents sending kids to private coaching.

Teachers in charge of CCA are not familar with the game. My kid missed his chance to attend junior sport academy selection. The HOD just brushed me off by saying he don’t know what happen.

My advise is that if you want your kid to strike a balance in academic and sport, then this school is not for you. There are better school in the neighbourhood.

All above all based on my own observation, experience and opinion.

Hi all,


We just moved into Punggol in Nov 2013 and my gal had been accepted in Greendale. She's currently in Greendale NASCANS student care and will be in P3-1 next year.

Just wanna check if anyone know if Greendale offers Higher Chinese?

Thanks!

Yes. They offered HCL in P5.

:rotflmao:

is good that the child go for CCA. Let ur kid choose something they like. At least something to let the kid to take their mind off school work.


As a parent, i’m proud of my son when he represent school for any tournament. Is not about the winning, is more ofbuilding their confident level.

I don’tthink there is any selection for any CCA.There will be coach to coach the kids.

As for the school bus issue, u have to check with the school or the operator.
