Hi cfam & Nihauma, my dd has enjoyed herself during her first 2 years in LSPS. However, the turnover of students are high in the school as those whom do well will tend to switch to better school.

Hi Jwmommy

Only the first two years? p3 not fun?

[JWMommy]

Hi Nihauma, P1 & P2 is considered lower primary so don’t have much study stress and competition. As there is streaming based on P2 results, good academic results students will be put in the same class in P3. Thus, competiton became intense.

JWMommy, I tot there’s no exam for p1&2. Do they stream based on the assessment?

[JWMommy]

Nihauma, P1 there are exam for CA2 and SA2 and P2 exam are as normal during my child time. Streaming is based on final year results.

[Nihauma]

JWMommy, what is CA2 and SA2?

[JWMommy]

Nihauma, CA means continuous assessment and SA means semester assessment.

[Nihauma]

I see, another word for exam. Sigh…tot can be free…

Hi JWMommy, really happy to see parents of existing students contribute to the forum. I hope they can be more active so we can know the school better. So far how do you find the principal and teachers of the school? Are they dedicated? I heard there are plans to upgrade the facilities. But given the space constraints, I wonder how upgrading will be carried out.
