Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who can join this programme? 

Students who are Primary 5 or 6 in 2024 are welcome to join this programme. 

 

2. How will this programme help my child with his/her school work or exams?

This is a dedicated writing programme to introduce some of the intermediate writing techniques, such as foreshadowing and twist, that your child can use in his/her writing. There are also opportunities for brainstorming of different plot ideas as well as editing to hone one's metacognitive skills. All of the above mentioned are useful skills your child would need to excel in his/her writing in the exams.

 

3. How is this different from your core curriculum?

Although this is covered in our core programme, this programme allows the teacher to dive deep into these intermediate techniques and students are given ample time and opportunity to practise using them.

 

4. How is this different from your CW excellence programme?

The CW excellence programme is a five-week programme geared to helping our students who may struggle with composition writing or just want a longer and more intensive writing programme. This writing programme is only offered in December and is meant to serve as "stretch" module for our writers who want to learn one or two more advanced techniques to help their writing stand out.

 

5. My child signed up for this programme last year, can he / she attend again?

No, as the materials will be the same.

 

6. Will there be homework?

Yes, there will be some light writing exercises that students might have to take home to complete. However, ample scaffolding and notes will be provided to help them with the exercises.
