[quote=\"stetan\"]My friend said she came back from SJI this morning and there were around 50-80 parents attending a briefing by the school for those that have appealed successfully !


Another colleague of mine also successfully got his son's appeal to SJI. T-score 240

Cannot be, La. :idea:
50 successful cases for a cohort size of say 400? That's a 12% turnaround.
I heard 23 of 300 hopefuls were success fun. Caveat - Hearsay, hearsay.

That's exactly what she told me.. She was at the briefing this morning so it is not hearsay[/quote]Actually, for those students and parents who were unable to attend the S1 briefing / registration on last Monday, they were also invited to attend the briefing today. Hence the large volume in attendance

[quote=\"allcc6\"]If child cannot attend award ceremony for whatever reason (sick, overseas or didn't receive notification fm CC), then what happens to the cert & cheque?

I was unable to attend one of the sessions last year. One of the CC officers told me to reschedule for a later date or timing. Alternatively, I can come 4 days later with my son's ez-link card to collect the cert and cheque at the CC office. But there won't be any photo taking session with the MP and no food lah....

If my MP is Mr LHL, Mr LKY, Mr HSK or Mr Tharman, I would not want to miss the photo session, is a rare opportunity for your kid to feel so honourable and proud to have a pic with them.[/quote]

Hi afterCbeforeE, when you mentioned reschedule for a later date or timing do you mean attend the ceremony at another prize giving session? It's good they have alternative to collect the cert and cheque if one really cannot make. Thks.[/quote]
If the constituency does have another award presentation ceremony at another date, then yes, it can be arranged.

Otherwise, if CC is having multiple award presentation sessions in a day, then the child will be given another timing on the same day to attend the award giving ceremony.

This Sunday, unfortunately, both of my kids can't attend the award presentation at the given timing. So they rescheduled my kids to the afternoon session, on the same day.

just to check, if any parents will be accompanying their Newly Sec 1 kid to school on the first day?

i wanted to take a day leave to send him there on his first day, but my colleagues were all laughing and said this will embarrase him since he is already in sec 1...

Ask your DS for his opinion. My son requested for me or his dad to send him on his first day (both if possible) ... Guess we'll send him till the school's nearest bus stop. Different kids might feel differently. My son just wanted some assurance and to 'borrow' courage from mummy's and daddy's emotional bank ..

JTS… Hong Kah North CC edusave and bursary awards presentation will be on 4th Jan 2015. Not sure if there’s any other dates as I have received notification/letter for DS2 (P3 2014) but none for DS1 yet.

Overall experience was bleh.. only my DS2 was excited as he managed to find a science experiment book which he liked.


Hopefully upcoming fairs will be better.

I hope next year's Book Fest will be more organized...I can't seem to find stationery easily this year compared to past few years. only my son was happy because he bought a set of story books at a good bargain.

Agreed !! To be honest, I was overwhelmed by the stationery orientation.. It's all over the place.
