Hi

I am new here!
My boy Will be in HPPS next yr too. So nervous!
I saw some of u discussing abt class allocation.
My boy's class was written on the envelope they mailed to us.
How abt the rest of u?

Yea, it was written on the letter they sent us. My daughter is going to be in 1H, your son?

[quote]Besides the two dates stated in the letter for form filling and buying of books and uniform, not too sure what to expect for orientation. Heard in some school children are asked to do some form of diagnostic tests during orientation. Wonders if there is such in HPPS?


Perhaps the daddies or mummies of current students can share with us their experience. :smile[/quote]Diagnostic test?? Wah so stressful!! I hope they don't do such things right at the start, what is the point?

[quote]I think most will go down on 24 Oct as it is a Saturday. I will go on the day too.


Just wondering how many sets of uniform to buy? PE attire?[/quote]Yea, because the other day is a weekday and have to take leave if parents are working.
Hopefully won't be too crowded!

About the uniform, I think it is up to you ba, if you have a helper to wash regularly then maybe 2-3 sets are enough? I know of colleagues who get 4-5 set so that can wait until weekend to wash? Hahaha but I think 2-3 is better because they may grow out of it very quickly at this age...

Hi,


Does anyone have any idea how are the children being assigned to the various P1 classes?

Not too sure over here too! My boy going P1 next year! Excited about the orientation in Nov! Anything to prep???

I received a letter from the school asking us to go buy books, uniform and fill up some student data form. There are 2 dates, I think we will be on 24th Oct Sat. I think there is also a website that you can go and order books. Not too sure, have to read the letter again. Haha so many things to prepare, exciting!

Just opened the letters from Henry Park!

My boys are going to P1I and P1J in 2016.

Hmm... How come they aren't put in the same class?

Any parents from these classes?

Oh dear, maybe you can try to request for them to be in the same class?
May be easier for you in terms of homework, activities etc

My daughter is in 1H

Not too sure but I think it could be random?

Likely during orientation

Ok thanks!

My daughter is also attending HPPS P1 next year. She is going to be in class 1H. I stay within a short walk but I am hoping she can take the school bus, hopefully she can be one the last few to be picked up and the first few to be dropped off. How do we find out more about the school bus?
