Sunflower mummy:

I don't think such immersion overseas trip is compulsory. Some schools that i knew does not have such trips, only to neighbouring country, Malaysia and to OCS. But the school did so by impressing others who walked past the gate with their trips posters. These overseas trips are at the expense of the parents. 有的没的做一大堆，正事却没人理！

like impressed parents by introducing Onsponge maths at P3, in the end, syllabus maths also briefly taught, thus the Onsponge maths sample do few questions, the rest copy model answers again!

有的没的做一大堆，正事却没人理！
Super agree!

The only reason why my kid is still in this school is due to distance.

lower pri foundation were too weak to begin with, how to catch up at upper pri level

Anyone has any ideas how the streaming works in P2

Top 2 classes base on the sum of English & Math results
The balance will stream base on Maths results
Mother tongue will stream separately

* This was base on last year P2, unless there is any changes.
Last yr the school conducted a briefing session for P2 parents on the streaming.

This was from rivervale primary newsletter:

Why was only selected P4 students parents need to attend?
Be it either meeting parents of weaker students or stronger students, aren't this going to affect students thinking/self-esteem?

Their 5A & 5B were known for the best class in the cohort. And the rest were being stream accordingly.
Again, why 5E, 5F & 5G parents do not need to attend? what does this mean?

not sure if these were the foundation classes, if it is, aren't this discrimination?
just wanna to know the rational behind this arrangement. do other schools adopt this way too?
