Jess, I guess that's expected of your boy's school but I'm sure he can manage well ;p Mine is enjoying himself especially his Scout CCA. His school starts 7.45am and the curriculum not so stressful. He is still struggling with MT but seems ok with the other subjects. He looks forward to...

Rains, last weekend's Straits Times mentioned about tuition centers with programs tailored to IP students. Did you check them out?

Wow VQ you very resourceful leh!! Mine didn't get his appeal school...it's ACS Barker so we were just trying our luck but we know chances are very slim due to them admitting almost all affiliates. I wrote and got a reply that they are full. It's alright since X has settled down well in CCK...

I realise there are 2 Chung Cheng High...they seem far from each other leh. If you didn't move house, I assume she attending the one closer to your home? Well, talk about different attitude...mine thank me for giving him a break during the hols. X is very laid-back and while he is a happy...

Yep he'll attend CCK Sec as usual...until we receive call from appeal school. They say can run up to 2nd week of January...and if there's no call from them by then means unsuccessful. Your girl has friends going new school with her? I don't see any of X's primary schoolmates in CCK Sec. He...

The uniform is kind of problematic. The should n sleeve area ok but then it is a bit too long for X so looks sloppy. It's banded at the waist but that area is too tight. I'm stretching it over a chair for him haha. So far only chinese tuition but not started yet. Will see how he cope...

Hello Dor! Mine got 2nd choice "Chua Chu Kang Secondary" as expected. I sent in appeal form to his 1st choice just to try our luck but at the same time bought uniforms and textbooks etc for the school he's posted to. If good news comes it will be a bonus...otherwise life goes on

hello VQ...congrats and good to know. is the ideal school mixed or all girls? we usually don't travel during December holidays as we find it way too cold for us in many places. never been to Korea coz each time i consider it i will end up in Japan hehe.

All the best to you and your girl in the new environment. We've all graduated to secondary schools after tackling PSLE

I've no idea about the IP thingy since it wasn't in our agenda all along. But O level or IP, I think the kids may not have much free time to attend outside classes. So maybe you can observe first and not stress about it yet...for all you know she may excel in it. My son is interested to...

Yeah I'm reading the kiasuparents sec school thread too. Did you let your gal continue with Learning Lab? I withdrew my son from LL and he's now left with MT tuition. He's keen to join back the English at LL but I'll have to know his schedule for next year before we arrange anything else...

Rains, at least you know the school she's going to attend. This is how affiliation works? Or is it because her score is way higher than the minimum COP? We've started browsing secondary guidebooks in the bookstore just to have a feel of the syllabus. Yes, history looks different from what...

Rains congrats! VQ how are you? My son is happy with his results, i like it that he manages his expectations well :p His is a low t score which kinda puzzled us when compared to what i thought were ok grades. He doesn't really have a dream school but prior to this we did have a school in...

Rains, I have to admit I'm not done reading the guide but already feeling inferior. Coz compared to the book's mommy and many PSLE mommies, I am not actively involved in my son's academics. That's fine if he's an ace student but he's not. He needs much 'pushing' if he's to score better but...

Rains, yes he goes to a learning centre near our place for one-to-one MT tuition. Started in July this year as I find he's not benefitting from the group class. His foundation is weak so progress will be slow. Among the 4 subjects, Science is the only one without tuition. He has no problem...
