Hi kaisuparents
1. They have the continuous assessment via consolidated worksheets. Usually, advance notice will be given for Chinese, but not English and Maths.
2. The curriculum covered under the continuous assessment will be tabulated and you will be notified. The syllabus follows that published by the MOE. You can find them online.
3. Homework is on a weekly basis, usually Friday (to be done over the weekend). However, it varies between teachers.
4. CCA is optional from P1-P2. Furthermore, limited too i.e. P1-P2 only has a few to choose from (dance - ballet, international, malay, chinese; guzheng (their niche), brass band (their potential niche))
There will be a weekly spelling test for both English and Chinese.
Weaker students will be required to attend their remedial classes, usually held after school.
Cheers,

Hi ciheal,
They are local. Very dedicated and helpful. Keep the 2-way parent-teacher communication active, they are very willing to go further to help tackle a child’s weakness. -

RE: The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion
Hi TAS,
I would like to inquire details for P1 English enrichment for my child:
1. I am residing in Hougang, where is your nearest TAS centre?
2. What is your teachers’ qualification? All NIE-trained with experience?
3. What is your current availability?
4. What is your max class size?
5. Do you provide free trial?
6. Does your teacher follow the students through as they advance into the next level i.e. p2, p3 etc?
7. What is your fees structure?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Thanks! -

Hi, wrote to the Principal Mrs James and she has confirmed that CCA is optional for P1 and P2. Need not fill in the form if decide to opt out in P1 or P2. They encourage a student to stick to one CCA throughout their 6 years, thus it is advisable to join the one which they really want when it is offered or when they are ready.
