There is not that much homework for P1 comparing to other traditional schools - usually 2-3 items.

In the 1st term, they only have English dictation which is about once 3-4 weeks - 1st time 10 words and 2nd time onwards 20 words.

Chinese dictation did not commence until 2nd term (what I remembered or close to 2nd term) - initially once every 3 weeks and gradually progressing to once every 2 weeks.  Coverage is 2 chapters - one for words and the other for whole passage.  Only one paragraph is dictated every time (not the whole chapter).

However, there are considerable volume of readings and on-line exercise.  Reading is to be done on best efforts basis while on line exercise is optional.  P1 students are recommended to read 40 Chinese books in 2 months time and to do 15 reading journals on English books each term.

The school will have the kids to join some 14 different kinds of ECAs such as table tennis, drawing, cricket, Chinese opera... in P1 and P2 (mandatory before the kids pick up their preference and interests in P3).  There are included in the school fee and are taken place during school time.

Besides, each student has to join one of the 3 uniform team like grasshoper, brownie...

There are also some other ECAs such as musical instruments, Chinese dance, football... which are optional, conducted by external parties, arranged and coordinated by the school.  These are normally taken place outside school hours and have to be paid accordingly.
