My cousin's daughter starting IP next year, 2019 Sec 1. My cousin told her to read up History and Geography, during these school holidays, so that she has some idea what on earth these 2 new subjects are about.Yes, these few days is like browsing thru secondary schools to kill time. Quite curious whereabout DD2 will land into as it
will affects her daily commutes. -
I remembered one of the first assignment in IP year one history was to descibe a political comic about Stalin.
Geography was about some macro economic short essay questions. -
Hi all,
May I know if my DS’ choice of school is not a SAP school, does it mean the HCL points will not be taken into account when determining if his score is able to meet tye cut of point of the school? Thank you. -

If not going to SAP schools, then the PSLE T-score is without the 1,2,3 points. -

If it is not a SAP school, bonus points from HCL is meaningless and will not be taken into account.Hi all,

For those whose kids perform regularly well & might choose a 3rd language, may I suggest occupying this long s h holiday with starting language learning of choice to help them get accustomed & ease into new term. Caution is yr child shld be keen. Most drop out of 3rd language in the 1st year if there’s no sustaining interests or lack support.
Learning a 3rd language opens doors to cultural exchanges for personal & professional relationships & it helps the learner become successful learners. The brain develops further as the brain networks become better integrated & our kids acquire faster & more efficient learning learning skills. It develops the part of the brain for connectivity.

The parts that develop in size were the hippocampus, a deep-lying brain structure that is involved in learning new material and spatial navigation, and three areas in the cerebral cortex.
Different parts of the brain develop to different degrees depending on well the learner performs and how much effort they put in.

I have heard from some primary school teachers who have seen the PSLE exam papers for 2018 that the level of difficulty for this year was lower than previous years. What could be the possible implication on the results and the cut off points for the secondary school posting?
