The last 2 years RI released the results on the Monday following PSLE oral. Today is Thursday already but still no news. Why, oh why are they so late this year ? Unless they want to confirm, and double confirm the results list??? :nailbite:

But if as mentioned, principal will present co letter this sat. 2 possibilities,
1-- results may be announced tmr (only one day before the event. How rush);
2-- principal like to present co letter to sports domain before announce the result to the rest (how strange).

For the parents waiting for RI results, I called RI admin and was told that the results for academic domain will only be released next week (not sure if this is the standard answer). The principal's talk tomorrow is only for the sports domain. If so, smiling - your 2nd possibility is right. So strange.... :? seems like we have to be patient and endure this weekend.

ALL schools shld hv release DSA results (offers/rejections) by 31 Aug via calls/emails/post letters) to candidates.


Once candidates receives CO, and some wld hv applied to several schools, the schools & other candidates will appreciate if CO recipients can decisively select their school of choice & inform other schools to release your COs which u DO NOT want asap. Only, I’m not certain it shld be done before 31 Aug or 30 Oct, as Option Forms to accept COs will be sent out after 31 Aug & closing date is 30 Oct.

These dates are all in sync with all schools under MOE system. So, depending on how fast admin works & how considerate those who received more than one COs release places/opportunities to others & schools are trying to work within the MOE framework to convert WL.

So, if School A offered 80 COs & 10 WL places but amongst 15 of their candidates received 2 or more COs fr other schools. If considerate & decisive parents inform School A immediately (before 31 Aug) that they’ve decided on School B, opportunity goes to next in line for WL.

Assuming 12 kind & decisive parents act fast to release places their DC will not need as they’ve replied to accept School B, those 10 WL will be converted to COs & they’ll call up 2 more to offer WL.

I believe the deadline is 31 Aug bcoz the Principal briefed that after that date, it is not within his control to convert WL. So, going by the fact that Option Forms will be issued btwn 31 Aug to 30 Oct, I’ll assume these are then controlled in MOE system.

After Option Forms are returned (closing date 30 Oct), the formal registration of DSA choices begins btwn 30 Oct to 3 Nov. once DSA Registration completed, these DSA CO recipients will not participate in S1 posting.

So, advice to parents with >1 COs to please consider others who want that extra opportunities you’re holding to be decisive & choose your DC’s choice & RELEASE immediately so that the sch admin can make other anxious parents’ day converting their WL.

For those anxious parents with WL or hv not been called, relax abit don’t tense yourself up. DS may hv received CO but we still want to see consistent effort put in for PSLE. It’s to train habits that will be a lifetime - DSA distracts him & we’ve not inform DC good news till after Prelims.

All the best for this coming week to those waiting for that call/email/letter.

I am not sure one can do that. As per my information given to me by Admin at NUS high during tea party, when the school releases their CO and waitlist they submit it to MOE and changes to that can be made only by MOE after the option forms are filled. So even if the parents want to be considerate and helpful its not possible to inform school and cancel the CO
