Dear parents/students,


My son will be starting Sec 1 next year. For Language Arts, could anyone share what "Text Books" or "materials" were used this year for the subject? Thanks in advance.

For NJC, is Language Arts a big jump from Primary 6? Do the Sec 1 students cope well or do they struggle? My son is more inclined to Maths and Science.

Thanks.

So glad she is coming home soon


I also notice that two security guards at the boarding school are really nice...helping to carry the students' bags while they scan their cards upon entry..so fatherly and patient .

Really appreciate their helpfulness :lol:

yes, both of them are nice and helpful.
and also very observant of our car numbers too!
the \"bigger\" one approached me last night with big smile,
\"mister, ler eh number choot leh, uu tio boh?\"
unfortunately my reply was \"aiyah, wasted wa bo boay leh!\"

Totally agreed the security guards are friendly and helpful. Sometimes they will assist the students with their bags or to scan their cards on behalf.

My son and his classmates don't have this letter or form, leh.

Basically I've left it all to the school. The school prepares its own booklets for each module. They only buy some reference books(the \"textbooks\") for Chinese and for Math only. Physics too, I think.

My son is more inclined towards Math/Scienc too, but has found Language Arts interesting. He says it is less difficult compared to PSLE english.

I had not read The Animal Farm. Watched a movie though. Is it suitable for 14 y.o?

I wld prefer one of our local writers named Catherine xxx (cant remember her surname).
