more keen to know how many girls from E / F class(es) score :-


>= 260 to 269, minimal qualify for IP Sec school(s) ?

because if get 250, 251 or 252 lower range of 25x (although > 250 considered good), can't gain foothold into IP school, but can go O level track. We don't have any affliated Sec school to hold onto, unlike NYPS girls.

Agreed. Word has it that in one of the neighbourhood schools, 30 over students in the best class score 260 and above.

Most IP schools COPs for the past few years are <260. In fact, only 2 IP schools have COPs >260. With the introduction of even more IP places starting next year, there will be places available for those who score between 250 and 260.

for P1 Maths :-
==============
the latest 3rd edition P1 Maths Textbook(s) / Workbook(s) are available for sale now, by Marshall Cavendish. This is based on latest MOE change(s) made to 2013 P1 Maths curriculum. MOE changed P1 Maths syllabus. Now Workbook(s) only two. They made it simplier; 1A and 1B. (2 Workbooks)
No more 4 Workbook(s) like last time - 1A got Part 1 and Part 2 ; then 1B also another Part 1 and 2. So many Parts ... confusing.

If you visit some Popular bookstore branch(es) outside, staff there tell you only after mid December then can buy. But over here at Lion building C, they are available for sale immediately.

My daughter will be going to P5 F in 2013 . We plan to go overseas in June 2013 . Just wanted to check if any mums know of extra/supplementary classes in June holidays . We would be leaving on first week ofJune but returning only 2 days before school reopens.I know P6 have classesbut no info about P5.

Pla advise if need to rework the itinerary to return earlier for classes

Thanks Moonee for this info. What about during curriculum time for P5? Are there supp classes during the term? What are the days they need to stay back?

[stressed mum]

[/quote]My dd just graduated but even if there were any supp class it would be after sch for an hour ( depends on the teacher and for some students tat are weak in certain subjects).. there was science enrichment frm outside but dd did nt attend. Sorry cant remember much but definitely no supp class on wednesday. If there is any supp class, the teacher will arrange the days such that it does nt clash with curriculum. Things may change next yr so u got to wait till then. Its in P6 that we have supp classes actually.

I heard RGPS average aggregate improved by 4 percent this year, it's quite good.

Now waiting to see what is the actual COP of the new IP schools. Is there a reason why most parents on kSP seem to think it's around 255?
