My Development Booklet
(MDB) MDB_P5_2016.docx
Contains information about your child e.g. his needs and expectations, focus for the year
To be filled out together WITH your child
Track development and progress of child across six years
Used during FTGP for more fruitful discussion between form teachers and students
Banding of Students
Every child is unique, with different aptitudes, capabilities and talents.
In allocating classes for P5 students, we need to provide our students a balanced experience to learn and interact with their peers of different strengths and at the same time cater to their differing needs in academic subjects.
Streamed into mixed ability classes as their form class to provide opportunity for students of different strengths to mix together and learn about important values like helping and encouraging one another
Banding of Students
However, for English, Mathematics, Science and
Mother Tongues lessons, your child will be
placed in their ability groupings taking his/her
strengths into consideration. We believe that this
will better cater to your child’s learning both in
academic and social-emotional learning.

Instead of giving discreet percentile values, the school put the percentile ranking in bands, for e.g.
Band 1 (BD1) for 91% to 100%
Band 2 (BD2) for 81% to 90%
Band 3 (BD3) for 71% to 80% …

PSLE Preparation
Parents can support your child by helping them to
develop good study habits.
To study effectively means to put in less time and get
better results.
Parents can support your child by listening to them
and pay more attention to their emotional needs as
they are transiting to the pre-adolescent stage.
PSLE Preparation
Time Management
Help your child draw up a time-table for their week’s work.
Sunday night is perfect for them to sit down and plan for the following week.
Allow time for each subject, giving more time to their weaker subjects.
Be realistic; know how much they can do.
It is important to give time for relaxation and exercise.
Parents can support your child by helping them to develop good study habits.
