Hi parents


Would like to find out the following pertaining to Rosyth:-

1) How do they do class placement for P1. Streaming or random or ?
2) If a child is weak in certain subject, how does the school support the learning? Remedial or own tutition or ?


Thanks.

My friend is with Rosyth's PSG and was involved in the P1 reading test. She said the children were asked to read a list of high frequency words and the results range from full marks to a few marks. The school randomly allocated the children to their classes but took note of those who needed help and gave them special attention. I didn't ask what specific help was given though.

Another friend's daughter who is in P5 is weak in English & Maths as parents are not well educated. Her form teacher called them after CA1 to discuss with them the areas that their daughter can improve on and what the parents could do. Then she provided them with a list of recommended readings.

The teacher also enquired the secondary school they have in mind and estimated the average score their daughter needs for the 4 subjects. The teacher told them the neighbourhood secondary school they have chosen is a good choice as it has a nurturing culture. She said given their daughter's reserved and quiet personality, it's important she goes to such a school, which the parents totally agreed.

The parents were so grateful for the advice that they heeded them immediately. After SA1, the teacher called to update them on the progress.

I thought it was very nice of this teacher.

Thanks to singmathstutor & pummanuel for answering my queries.


I’ve heard other schools having learning support programs for students who are weak in specific subjects. And also workshops conducted for parents on topics like hanyu pinyin so that they could coach their children at home. I felt that this type of support by the school is very good. Wonder if Rosyth have such workshop?

Wow, what are these schools? You will need Rosythian parents to answer these questions. This is a super quiet thread.

Rosyth do have a , they call it the LSP program for the weaker students . I have feedback from my Pr 1 gal that the weakest perfoming students in each class for each subject will have to attend extra lessons before school starts . But you still have to check with the school for more info…

First week of school , the whole class went through a reading test of identifying hundred common words to assess the children , marks were given , and parents were to sign and check.
The school do work closely with parents and my gal’s form teacher even set up a blog for parents to share the events / photos / activities of the class…

Hi,
My son will also be attending P1 next yr in Rosyth. I am trying to get some parents to meet before Orientation on 23 Oct, hoping that our kids can also make friends with each other before school starts. This way, they can settle faster knowing that they have some friends in the school before P1.

Dear Rosythian Parents,


I’m trying to connect some of us together, especially those whose kids are going to P1 next yr. Was thinking that we can just meet up before Orientation day, let the kids know each other, so that they have some friends before starting P1. Think this can ease a little of their settling down in a new environment.

Also, will be great to know some current Rosythian parents. Can give us newbs great advice too!

Hi, my gal will be attending P1 next yr in Roysth too… And it’s a good idea that we could meet up for them to get to know each other before orientation… Moreover I’m new to this site & group…


Cheers Trina

Hi, i am new to this and am still figuring out how to reply even at this moment.


My children are currently studying in Rosyth and I am actually quite clueless to what's happening in their school lifes. They have very little homework and during holidays, they can play all day. While my newphews have to write journals and compositions...etc

Heard from my ex colleague that only students from better classes are given more work. My children are only average, usually the ones that will be easily missed.. :nailbite:
