She needs to buy text book for Maths and Mother Tongue only. School provide notes for other subjects.

Hi Siuying,

My DD is in NJC year1 now. Thare are both bit size test and exam, final marks are calculated from combination of exam, bit size test, class participation and project, depending on subject. DD uses both text book and iPad, she told me that textbook is not required if iPad is used for e-learning.

Thank you mommyNg.

Thanks you.


It described that "The purpose of this trial period to let the student experience the rigour of the AEP lessons, and for the teachers to observe how the student is coping with the AEP work. At the end of the trial period, students will be presented with the form and they can make the decision to take up the commitment to the programme for the next 4 years. Should there be reason where the student/teacher feels that the student will not be able to cope with the programme, we will discuss further arrangements with the student and parents." 

As you advised, I indent to let her take both and may trop 3rd language if she cannot cope later. Final desicision is to be done after trial lessons.

School informed us that AEP is on Tue and 3rd language is on Thu. We have not received official time table yet. For your DD in JH1 and JH2, AEP lessons were attended in normal lesson time or afternoon CCA time?

Hello all,


My duaghter applied Art Elective Program (AEP) for JH1. AEP selection test will include \"3 separate tasks involving 1 observational drawing, and 2 creativity-based tasks.\"

Is there anyone know what is \"observational drawing\" and \"creativitu-based task\"?

Thanks in advance.

Mine went for selection test 3 years ago. They were asked to draw an object given to them, e.g., a shoe or a picture of butterfly (observational drawing?). They were also given a piece of paper with a bunch of circles and were asked to draw something out of it (creativity-based task?). Hope this helps! All the best to your daughter! The AEP programme is awesome (if your girl is really interested in art).

Hi

DD is selected for AEP. She has to attand AEP trial lessons for 4 weeks before signing contract with MOE for 4 years commitment. I believe she will enjoy the program. But I worry that she might be overstressed by additional workloads since she is taking 3rd language Japanese too. I appreciate to receive advices and tips from experienced parrents, how to minimize the workload, such as Dos and Don'ts in taking AEP and 3rd language.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,


My DD score is 256 and I am thinking how below mentioned facts impact on this year COP of top 20 secondary schools.

(1) This year DSA intake of top schools reduced from 50% to 35%. More places will bre available for PSLE. Will COP of these schools might be lower this year?

(2) This year PSLE pass rate is record high. Overall COP coould be higher, it may not have impact on COP of top schools.

I would appreciate your opinion on how COP of top 20 secondary schools likely to be lower or same or higher, in general.

Thanks
