I have graduated from crescent and would love to offer my advice to any of you whose DD is joining crescent. Just to speak about my experience, Crescent is a fantastic school! I would really like to state everything i love about the school but it would really be too long. It wasnt my first choice but i am really happy i came to crescent. There is no \"popular kid\" and everyone is nice (the people i know at least) and i really like our principal and how she emphasises that grades are not everything, which i think it's what the youths these day needs to hear. Plus i do admit some teachers are not very good but i left crescent feeling grateful to all my teachers.

Hi,
Any idea what's the criteria for joining choir cca?

Need to go for auditions during CCA selection.

Hello

I'm from Choir and there isn't any criteria however, make sure that you go for the auditions after the cca open house. Hope to see you in Choir!

Can anyone provide feedback:


1) O level results 2013 in terms of distinctions/L1R5 scores
2) what the school did to improve O level scores for this year
3) can joining clubs and societies garner 2 points deduction for L1R5?

Thanks in advance!

Can only help you with #3. When you join a cca or whatnot your participation, representation etc will contribute to your leaps points. You need >20 leaps points to get -2. Most students max out the leaps points from CIP (5 pts max for doing 100 hours over 4 years) and you get 1 pt for being in a cca every year (so that's 9 so far altgt). The other 11+ points can get from leadership (class rep, prefect) participation, enrichment (some schools usually organize enrichment activities for the students) and achievement (win medals, win B/C div competitions etc). Students who have leadership positions + active in cca can easily get 30+ points.

Fold and stitch it yourself or find a seamstress in a nearby heartland mall, may cost abt $3-5 per skirt though...

True and you can potentially wear the same skirt throughout the 4 years. As you grow taller, just release the seams so there is no need to buy new uniform. Girls can still grow tall till 14?

My dd's skirt is slightly below her knees and we asked her to leave it as she is still growing. In recent days, she seems to be able to \"look down\" on me as she is now taller than me.

BTW, does anyone know if the art bag is part of the books cost? We saw folks with that bag later on but we don't have it. Unsure if we paid for it as well. We paid around S$360+ at the books section.

For my DD, what she did is to roll up the top of the skirt a few rounds. Not very obvious when u don't tuck in the blouse too far.
Don't cost anything and no seam lines if u lower it as she grows taller later.
She went through one year n seems fine.
