@bmann225 promotion criteria to JC as follows:
Pass both languages (≥ 50%) & MSG of 3.0 or lower computed for L2R5.
[L2: Language Arts and Higher Chinese Language, R5: 1 Humanities (or Higher
Art/ Advanced Music/ Malay Special Programme/ Bahasa Indonesia), 1
Mathematics or 1 Science and 3 other best subjects]

Both of my children chose HCI and NYGH. In terms of Philosophical Inquiry, the sec 2 students are currently taking it, but it is a non-weighted subject. Also, take note that Language Arts at NYGH is a combined subject that integrates both Literature and English.

For math outreach camp, it will be playing some Mathematical games, and learning of new concepts in small group.

Hi, anyone selling S2 2022 / 2023 notes? Pls pm me. Thank you!

Hi Magically, thanks so much for the detailed recap, it gives a good idea of what to expect. It sounds really intense from Jun on and I salute all P6 parents and kids (and teachers). Are the PSLE revision booklets from school or are parents expected to get them (are they sold in popular?). Am a bit worried to hear they are still doing projects in July - what are some of these projects?

I assume that most schools will assist in procuring the most recent three years of PSLE booklets. If not, you should have no trouble finding them at Popular in January 2024. However, for the other years, you may need to seek them out yourself or ask your child to approach his teacher for additional years.

Regarding school projects in July, I believe they may have included ungraded tasks such as Social Studies, but I can't say for certain because I typically didn't pay much attention to those ungraded aspects

Thank you for the very detailed summary.


Like other concerned parents, our kids are always busy with RRJ, brochures, IRS and etc - instead of more cloze and S&T.
Not sure which will make the kids happier in the longer run.


Don’t mind me asking the golden question.
(There are sure to be topper who go on to RI / NUSH and etc... )

What’s your kid’s class average performer doing?
How about the students at the lower end of the spectrum?

There’s always this common here say that Geppers seldom don’t score more than AL10. (Or lesser than 250 T score.)
Is this statement quite accurate in your opinion?

Thanks.

P5 proved to be an incredibly hectic year. In addition to various project commitments, it was also the time to construct a DSA portfolio by participating in numerous competitions.

We shared the same concerns as your \"golden question\" from the previous year. After consulting with our senior parents, we received reassurance that the majority of students would achieve AL4, with only a few reaching AL5-6. As it turned out, this was indeed the case for my child's class last year, and I personally didn't come across anyone who scored higher than AL6.

Here’s a recap of the activities my child went through last year:


June:
Completed the most recent three years of PSLE booklets, mostly assigned as school holiday work.
Worked on the 2021 SA2 top school paper.
Engaged in extensive oral practice.

July:
Focused on creating a DSA portfolio and prepared for interviews.
Continued with ongoing school projects.
Participated in a competition.
Prepared for the NUSH math module test.
School teachers continued to cover the syllabus, and went through of the last three years of PSLE booklets which was done in June holiday.

August:
In Science, students were encouraged by their teacher to complete a 10-year PSLE booklet (though not compulsory, many followed suit). Extra lessons were provided to support the students.
In Math, I have forgotten how many years teacher had covered, but my child worked through a 10-year PSLE booklet and the 2019-2021 SA2 top school paper.
English received relatively less attention due to its perceived ease compared to GEP English. Nevertheless, my child dedicated a term (Q1) to a compo class to refine her writing skills. Few top school papers were completed, with a focus on the 2021 SA2 S&T. Specific in-school activities during this period remain unclear.
In Chinese, we have completed several sets of top school papers assigned by the teacher. Self-covered an additional two years of top school papers (2020-2021). Put considerable effort into memorizing exemplary compositions (好词好句好段).

September:
Completed the 2022 Prelim papers for Math and Science, English S&T, and Chinese MCQ.
Reviewed and corrected mistakes made in the PSLE booklets and top school papers.
School activities primarily consisted of consultation sessions, where students approached teachers with their questions and concerns.
