Not sure if is related, my DS primary school suppose to have a “Games Carnival by Active SG” on 23 Nov and is now shifted to another date. Just received notification thru Parents Gateway yesterday.

Another possible sign: one primary school having P1 Orientation on 22nd Nov. If the P and teachers are all hands on deck for Orientation, that implies can’t meet the P6s that day.

I know that MOE has said that the results would be announced from 23-25 Nov. Anyone have any idea as to whether it's more likely to be 23/24 rather than 25 (Friday)? I am planning to travel on 25 so possibly risking it a little here

I know a family who went traveling. Came back in December to collect report book and results slip. No problem at all, they had to email to inform the school.

It is not compulsory to turn up in school on PSLE results day. There is an option to login online from 11am to check. In fact, I’d rather check from home & avoid other parents who will definitely be comparing scores.


But DS will want to attend, as that’s his last opportunity to see his classmates together as one class.

Due to covid, kids last year received their results in their classroom while parents are seated in another classroom waiting.

Remember to remind ourselves, our kids will look at us for our reaction. Really the biggest test for us parents. Really glad I took leave and planned something fun to do for the kids. We had a grand lunch and did bowling and laser tag in that afternoon. Helped to take away the attention, even though still cannot avoid a few WA and phone calls.

I feel the whole PSLE results day is a bit awkward. I remember two years ago there were kids (and parents) going crazy when they got the results. At the same time, you could see some kids’ hearts sink as soon as they looked at the slip, and they just wanted to go home as soon as possible.


Be happy and thankful if your child happens to meet (or exceed) his or her target. At the same time, try to be cognizant of the fact that unfortunately not everyone will be feeling the same way.

1 year forward now, really, psle is just a passing phase. Kids said, no one asked in school, no one talked about it much too. Let them get excited in get ready for sec 1, books, uniforms, orientation camp, CCA etc. Many new events and experiences to keep them occupied throughout the year. Most importantly, let our kids feel proud of the schools they got in.

Usually, the kids who are disappointed will look to parents for acknowledgement and comforting, simple assurance and praise for effort will make a difference.


There will be parents who cheer loudly and openly. Cannot imagine how much they and their children had to sacrifice, rest time and struggled between parents and children. So it’s understandable that they have worked extremely hard for that day, to cheer unreservedly. They have lived for that day for a long time.

Oh! I didn't know that we could check online! Thanks so much for the heads-up. I guess, worse comes to worst, we'll just check online. However, my DS (like yours) also wants to catch up with friends.

I agree with the later posts here. Regardless of the outcome, the journey ahead is what matters more. How we react will set the stage for what follows (and possibly for years to come). Cheer them on… the PSLE is just one exam in a long list of many, and in no way should it define who our children are or what they can achieve in life.
