Free breakfast for PSLE pupils at Cheers, FairPrice Xpress outlets on Sept 20 and 21
FairPrice Group will be giving out 12,000 free breakfast bundles to Primary 6 pupils who are taking the Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) in 2024.
In a statement on Sept 11, the FairPrice Group announced that it will distribute the breakfast bundles at 131 Cheers and FairPrice Xpress outlets across the island on Sept 20 and 21.
“Each breakfast bundle, worth more than $20, includes breakfast essentials such as milk, cereal, wholemeal bread, as well as protein from Brand’s Essence of Chicken and canned tuna, to fuel students through their final revisions and examinations,” said the statement.
Those interested in redeeming the bundle can present their student cards or PSLE examination slips for verification at the participating outlets, which can be found on FairPrice Group’s website.
The redemptions are limited to one bundle per pupil and will be given out on a first come, first served basis.

All the best to the Dragon kids receiving their psle results tomorrow!
I have friends who seem extremely worried that the increased number of candidates in this Dragon year (versus no corresponding increase in places in secondary schools) will skew the cut off points significantly. What are yalls’ predictions?

These are birth numbers from the last dragon year and the year before
2011 39654
2012 42663Increase of 3009 babies from previous year
There are around 150 secondary schools
Average class size is around 33 students
The additional 3009 babies, say spread equally across the 150 secondary schools, each school will
have to take on additional 20 students.If each school has average of 10 classes for each intake, spreading the additional 20 students across 10 classes, each class will increase by 2 students. And average class size will increase to 33+2=35. I think all schools still can absorb without making any major changes.
The supply side can be taken care off to meet the expected surge in applicants. Cut off point should not change just because of more dragon babies.

@bbbay Thanks for the calculations. Not sure where I read it, but one parent was saying that at the top schools’ open houses, principal declared that the intake will not increase for the Dragon batch.
Your guess is based on averages, thus each class absorbing 2 more pax. I personally think the undersubscribed schools at the bottom will absorb the spillover demand (if it is true that the top schools will not bend on increasing class size).

Saw a FB comments from a parent who went to a mid tier school open house that it will increase intake.

Congratulations to all parents with children that recently collected their PSLE results! Just sharing with everyone, I recently chanced upon a tuition centre providing very affordable secondary school tuition, at only $30 per lesson. Might be worth checking out given the extremely high prices that most places charge these days.
