Meet-the-Parents (MTP) Session on 29 May 2015 (Friday)

Dear Parents,

Meet-the-Parents (MTP) session is on Friday, 29 May 2015 from 8.00am – 3.30pm. Each pupil is provided a 10-minute timeslot for the meeting with the Form Teacher.  The venue for the session will be in 4B classroom.

Please note that a letter on the booking of slots for MTP Session has been given out today. The booking window period is from 16 May (Sat, 8am) to 24 May (Sun, 11pm). Booking will be on first come first serve basis. Please refer to Annex A on the procedures for booking the appointment.  Once the booking is submitted online, kindly note your appointment is considered confirmed. 

If you would like to meet your child’s Mother Tongue Language (MTL) teacher, please make your way to the School Hall.  It is expected that queue will form for most MTL teachers.  Alternatively, you can email your feedback, concerns or queries directly to your child’s MTL teacher. 


Please also note that your child’s report book will be issued on the day of the meeting.  If you are unable to meet the teachers on that day due to your work commitments, you may collect your child’s report book from the General Office during office hours during the first 2 weeks of the June holidays.

Important things to take note
  1. It is expected that the morning slots will be more popular, especially for working parents. As such, you are advised to book the afternoon slots if you are available in the afternoons.
  2. If your child has another sibling in the other levels, you are advised to give yourselves 5 to 10 minutes break in between the two slots so that the second session will not be affected by any delay in the first session.
  3. If there's any last minutes changes to the booking slots, do drop me an email (jocelyn.kohpeili@gmail.com) so that I can advice you on an alternative schedule.
  4. If you are unable to come on 29 May, you can email me your concerns or queries & I will get back to you over the phone.

Study Tips for Mathematics Paper

1. Practice, Practice & More Practice
It is impossible to study maths properly by just reading and listening. To study maths you have to roll up your sleeves and actually solve some problems.  The more you practice answering maths problems, the better and more confident you will get

2. Review Errors
When you’re practising with these problems, it’s important to work through the process for each solution. If you have made any mistakes, you should review them and understand where your problem-solving skills let you down. Understanding how you approached the problem and where you went wrong is a great way of becoming stronger and avoiding the same mistakes in the future.

3. Master the Key Concepts
Do not try to memorise the processes. This is counter-productive. It is much better and rewarding in the long-run to focus on understanding the process and logic that is involved. This will help you understand how you should approach such problems in the future.

Remember that Maths is a sequential subject so it’s important to have a firm understanding of the key concepts that underpin a mathematical topic before moving on to work on other, more complex solutions which are based on understanding the basics.

Remember: Maths requires time and patience to master. Persevere & Strive for Your Best!


just do your best




Reminders from me ...

  • Revise, revise , revise.
  • I have returned all the necessary files and books to you. Get your parents to acknowledge them and return all English related files and books to me on Monday.

Wishing you all the very best in your exams.
