• Even with the removal of final year exam for P2 and mid-year exam for some levels, teachers will continue to assess their students. Eg: Daily work & FAs
• Parents will be kept informed of the child's progress. Eg: PCTC, Class Dojo etc.
How will I know about my child’s progress?
Self-Control Perseverance Responsibility Integrity National Pride Gratefulness
Gracious School , Life-long Learners
Will my child be ready for national
examinations?
• Even with the removal of final year exam for P2 and mid-year exam for some levels, the number of examinations to assess learning is still adequate.
Self-Control Perseverance Responsibility Integrity National Pride Gratefulness
Gracious School , Life-long Learners
How will my child’s academic progress be measured if there are completely no
examinations and weighted assessments at P1 and P2?
• Current practices to gather information about students’ learning through checkpoints (e.g. class discussions, in-class work, homework, and bite-sized tests) will continue.
• The change is that these checkpoints will no longer count towards an overall result.
• Use of qualitative descriptors instead of marks and grades to report students’ learning progress in the report book (Holistic Development Profile).
