As shared at the Start-of-the-Year Briefing for Upper Primary on 11 Jan 2019 (Fri), the Primary 6 Common Test (CT) will be conducted in early March 2019, starting from 4 Mar (Mon) to 8 Mar (Fri). Please refer to Annex A for the CT timetable. You can also find a copy of the schedule and the assessment scope on our school website. 2. The CT serves to gather timely feedback that can be used to improve student learning. This feedback is also helpful for students to assess and reflect on their level of mastery of concepts and/or skills. In addition, parents/guardians will be able to better provide the necessary support and encouragement for their child/ward. 3. As CT is a formative assessment, there will not be any make-up test(s) if your child/ward is absent for any test(s). However, your child/ward will be given the question paper from his/her subject teachers for practice. 4. The After-School Academic Learning Programme will carry on as usual during this assessment period. 5. All test scripts will be returned to your child/ward latest by 14 Mar (Thu). 6. The school seeks the support of all parents/guardians to monitor the progress of your child/ward and to ensure that he/she has adequate rest during this assessment period. 6. Should you have any query, please e-mail your child s/ward s Form Teacher or the HODs-in-charge of the School Assessments & Examination, Mdm Phua Ei Ling at phua_ei_ling@moe.edu.sg and Mdm Er Siew Shin at er_siew_shin@moe.edu.sg. Thank you for your continued support as our partners-in-education. Yours faithfully, Mrs Serene Soh Year Head (Upper Primary) Learners with Passion. Leaders with Heart. Citizens of Character.
