Hi Parents,

Holidays are here again!  We just had a 3rd term holiday in December 2022 and a Chinese New Year holiday in January 2023. However, we are heading towards a month long end of term holidays from 17 Feb 2023 to 18 March 2023 (Group A schools)* or 18 Feb 2023 to 19 March 2023 (Group B schools).

The new academic year is also around the corner ie Group A schools* will start school on 19 March 2023 whereas Group B schools will start school on 20 March 2023. The top trending topics in our FB group right now are:

What should I prepare for my child for starting school?
Should I start preparing now for starting school or can wait later?
Should I get an Ergo bag or a trolley bag?
Which brand of school uniform should I buy?
What is the current rate for school transportation?
Which brand of school uniform is iron-free?

Meanwhile those moving to secondary school are also eagerly waiting for secondary school placement and whether their kids have to go to remove class/form 1 placement for current std 6 (2023/24 Form 1 cohort).

Other topics in the secondary group include:
Is IGSE harder than SPM?
What calculator to buy for Form 1?
What tuition does a Form 4 student need?
Discussion 1
Discussion 2

Although the school holidays are around the corner again, we parents are busy planning for the new academic year ahead. With only 2 weeks left to the academic year 2022/2023, what activities are your children doing in school now?

With warm regards,
