Hi Lovekidsverymuch,

I did my comparision of these three school u mention from the data provied by KiasuParents website.

U can c that Xingnan had ballot in P2C except last year the ballot is in P2C suppl. We visited the school during their open hse and I personally like their focus on Chinese. On that day, we met their Chinese Sir for P5 (u can read about him in their website). I was strongly \"buy\" over.

Son want GW bcos his best freind in childcare cts since N2 is in Phase 1B of GW. GW is our 1st choice but no luck in balloting. By then, we cant take any chance in P2C suppl as Xingnan need balloting. So we go for JYPS.

Weight yr 1st and 2nd choice again. If u cant get 1st choice, u will end up taking 3rd choice.

Wishing your junior all the best of luck for the ballot. :rahrah:

Seems like I was exactly in the same situation as jiyou2003 three years ago.... :roll:

Hi Sakura,
What does DSA means? How this relate to Sec School?

Direct School Admission (DSA) is an exercise organised by MOE to allow students to gain entry into certain secondary schools based on certain criteria other than their PSLE results. You may refer to the MOE website: http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/dsa-sec/ for more information. There is also a thread in this forum about DSA:

Hope this helps :celebrate:

Thank you very much, Sakura.

For tuesdays silent reading, its on books that is science or maths related.

Can get those non-fiction books on planets, animals, plants etc...

But of cse now, on days that i didn't help to check ds bag, its the same book for the whole week! :roll:

Understand that in Rulang, there are letters from school for P1 student to choose 1 CCA from 8 choices (like gym, Taekwando …). DS has gym during PE lesson, just for a few lesson and it end.

Chk JYPS website, there was Speech n Drama for P1/P2. Is it parent hv to approach Foam Teacher? or it is preselected by school? Any ideal?

[Yerdua]

Har, I didn't even noe that the sch website was up til i read ur post! I didn;t hear anything abt the speech and drama lessons too. Maybe can check out at the next PTM on 26 May.

Hi Yerdua,
Had ask FT during PTM, FM mention she is not aware of the speech n drama for P1/P2.

Hi Parents,

During PTM, MT teacher do not give the "results" in the summary format like the FT did. Other then the 2 tests, which DS score 20/20 and 17/20, how do I know is level for MT?
