I’m talking about those whose main uniform is the same, just need to add on the tie or sash or extra badge/pin. Can just leave it out right? Don’t need to haolian. Unless DSA via leadership & teacher needs to verify.

All starting again from zero mah.[/quote]

For students turning up on 23 Dec to register at elite school, No need to \"hao-lian\", wear prefect tie / pin / sash, badge etc,

because

once enter 2020 Sec 1 class (elite school), will realize that majority, more than half the class' pupils are prefects, from ex primary schools.

Sec 1, everyone start afresh, from ground zero, on equal ground, inside the Sec 1 classes

Then can parents don’t drive Merc or BMW or Porsche for the school orientation? Can leave luxurious cars at home and take Grab right? Lol.
I drove an old Toyota and parked among a whole row of luxurious cars. Made me feel uneasy leh.

My girls weren’t school prefects so I am not sure. But as sch prefects, do they need to be in full attire plus must be super duper neat as they represent their primary schools?

[phtthp]

Once step into Sec 1, nobody bother about which ex primary school u come from, nor your Tscore anymore. Everyone start afresh, equal footing, on common ground (base zero).



For those who enter elite schools, if Sec 1 Form Tr ask, who have been prefect before, in their ex primary schools ? More than half the class’ students will raise their hand.

Then, is up to the 2020 Sec 1 ( Form + Co-Form) Tr to observe for a while their behavior, also read their ex primary school Report card, see who they want to select, to be the new class monitor / new prefect in a class of (less than 30 pupils in IP class / around 40 pupils in OP class)

Oh, I have never thought of the attire part.


Our school, the prefects attire for girls are slightly different, not just adding a tie. so if they don’t put on the tie, the tops they are wearing are meant for boys only. So no choice, I think for such cases, they have to put on full attire. Didnt know that it would seem "haolian" to do that though.

Maybe this is their last time to put on their prefect attire, so they wanted to do so?
I was tickled to see this batch of kids who turned up in full prefect gear for mo competition (my son said maybe they felt is good fengshui i have another boy who used to insist on full uniform because he felt more comfortable and confident in a formal complete attire) and even sch dsa-co preview sessions.

Bochap loh, my kid turn up no tie or name tag

I think no matter what school it is, once they decided to scatter all the new students regardless their variation of t scores etc, the teachers would have to be more extra mindful in delivering and engaging students to make sure no one lags behind. This is important.

Well I think if you are a prefect, please feel free to report in your full school uniform. There is no need to “downplay” or hide, the students who are not prefects have no issues with you being a prefect. Neither do the non prefects feel inferior or embarrassed that they are not prefects. And If name tags are part of the uniform, I actually think the students should put them on, because you are representing your school. Also, if you are a prefect, say with a tie, and you come reporting without the tie, all your pri sch friends will find it super weird cos they have never seen you without a tie for the past 2 or 3 years (unless you are the only one from your pri sch and seriously know no one in the sec sch). Now come to think of it, why would the prefect not want to dress in proper prefect uniform? Does it bother them? Did they actually think they are superior and hence want to be more low profile? So strange,

So elite school kids wearing school uniform to tuition is being haolian or not? :evil:

Is it possible for a student to go to a school whose cop is a bit higher than the student score.

For example if the student score 240 and then the cop is 241 or 246 liddat, is it still possible to get in or is the school completely out of reach even if u place it at ur 1st or second choice

Based on MOE policy, schools will not accept appeal, unless Psle students have met the school's Cut-off-point.

However, at end of (Sec 1 or Sec 2), you can fill up \"Transfer\" application form, apply for Transfer to those schools that you are keen in. Only if school got vacancy arise, they will process Transfer. Meanwhile, whichever Secondary school you get posted to under S1 posting, study hard, do your best. If you manage to Transfer successfully into another OP school, continue to work hard, for your O-level


Alternately, at end of Sec 2,
if u are considering Transfer from OP into an IP school, check your interested IP school website requirements, find out what subject entrance tests are required, plus an interview required.
If successful, you will start IP, in Sec 3 (2022)

Since you have achieved Tscore 240 or above in this y2019 Psle, Congratulations, Nethan, u have done very well ! <clap hand> Keep up your excellent work ! 240 is a good score


This year, hard to say
If that school u are keen in, whose COP last year ( 241 ) were to drop to (240 or below ) this year, then u can get in
