Found this from another thread. Now I know what FTGP stands for. Does PH have PAL program?


PAL - Programme for Active Learning (PAL)

As part of the Primary Education Review and Implementation (PERI) recommendations accepted by MOE in 2009, PAL was introduced to strengthen the emphasis on non-academic programmes for Primary 1 and 2 pupils. This is in line with a key desired outcome of PERI recommendations to balance the acquisition of knowledge with the development of skills and values. This is to prepare our children for a more dynamic future. Conducted within curriculum time, PAL modules provide pupils with broad exposure in two areas — Sports and Outdoor Education, and Performing and Visual Arts. It aims to facilitate the well-rounded development of pupils in the five learning domains (cognitive, moral, social, aesthetics and physical) and help pupils to develop social emotional competencies.

FTGP - Form Teacher Guidance Period (FTGP)

FTGP serves as an additional platform for Form Teachers to build better rapport with the pupils so as to enable them to identify the needs of the pupils and provide better support for them. The teachers undergo training to equip them with the skills and resources for them to carry out class-based activities that will better support the development of pupils’ social-emotional competencies. Through FTGP, pupils will have a more structured environment for class and peer interaction, understanding of their emotions and needs and more conversations with their teachers. We hope that with the new structure in place our pupils will grow to be individuals who are confident and having the resilience to overcome future challenges and achieve success.

There were many acronyms in the timetable which I do not understand. The school shd have inserted a legend to explain those acronyms, instead of assuming that parents know what they stand for. Eg HPE, HHE, FTGP, HCME

Agree to a certain extent that the orientation was rather disorganised and the ppt slides were lacklustre to say the least, in terms of the colours, background and interest level (We were not even informed of the briefing beforehand). The font size used was also small, and parents sitting at the back would find it difficult to read. I was sitting in the front and already found it small… I believe the ppt slides have been ‘recycled’ many times. Results wise they seemed decent enough. So I m trusting the good hands of the teachers.

Thanks for the info Jennifer. The belachan chilli is bought in city hall at Auntie Teo food stall. It’s at the basement of Adelphi.

Dear parents, how much pocket money do you give to your children for P1? Don’t wish to give excessive such that my son will buy unnecessary things from sch. For orientation, how many days can parents accompany their children?
