Any parents/students can give feedback on the school?

The principal seems like a very nice and friendly lady.
Based on the school's popularity, I am surprised that this thread is so quiet.

the school has it own parent support group.

How is your son doing? How is the school?

Hi Autumn_leaf,


My dd is in SOTA and she enjoys her school very much. At first i'm worried about the IB course which I'm not familiar with compared with \"O\" levels, but i guess i have made the right choice by looking at her now (so much happier than last year when she was battling with PSLE). I guess our children's happiness is of utmost importance. So for those out there who are pondering over IB or O levels, please keep an open mind. Every road leads to Rome.

Cheers :rahrah:

What is SOTA? Thanks.

明天就考试了，不要临时抱佛脚，早点休息吧！

Ladies,

I have no idea what you are discussing about


I decided not to ask too many questions otherwise giving myself unnecessary stress

Right attitude!

Question:


Dan, Emmy and Farah bought a present for their grandmother. Dan paid 1/3 of the amount paid by Emmy and Farah. Emmy paid 2/3 of the amount paid by Dan and Farah. Given that Dan paid $24 less than Farah, find the cost of the present.

TIA.

Hello ksdad28,

D : E & F
1 : 3, total = 4u

E : D & F
2 : 3, total = 5u.

Since the total amount paid by D, E & F should be the same in both scenario, we need to make their total in terms of units the same. Doing so we will multiply the first ratio by 5 and the second ratio by 4. And we will get this more accurate ratio:

D : E & F
5 : 15, total = 20u

E : D & F
8 : 12, total = 20u.

D = 5u,
E = 8u and
F = 15 - 8 OR 12 - 5 = 7u

Farah’s 7u minus Dan’s 5u = $24 = 2u
1u = $24 / 2 = $12
Total cost = 20u = $12 x 20 = $240

Hope this helps!

Thanks you so much!

Miss Lim has some pencils for her pupils. If she gives each of them 2pencils, she will have 1 pencil left. If she gives each of them 3 pencils, she will need 11 more pencils. How many pencils does she have?



Thanks.

sorry! should be 25 pencils.


1+11 = 12 (people). 12X2 +1 = 25 (pencils)

thanks!

anyone has confirmation of PSLE marking dates?

trying to book for a quick get-a-way

The last day of PSLE is 1st Oct, Wednesday, so I believe the week of 6th Oct should be the marking week. Just a guess here!
