I agree CHS should limit the no of PV or totally do away with it. I’m sure they can find parents volunteer in their parents support group. I’m Catholic living within 1 km of CHS. I can’t even consider CHS looking at the odds. I have to go elsewhere.

I'm still considering schoolbus, my boy dun want to take schoolbus, cos he said he will be turning round and round just to reach a destination.


I think I should be bringing him to sch to and fro.

Plus Point- the psle cut off point for their sec is 235 this year (if im not wrong), just in case your child only get 1pt below the cut-off and if you are a pv who comply to school 'recall', mayb sch will be more willing to help.

Is it 235 or 230? I thought its 230 for this year P6 to next year Sec 1.

Or you mean last year P6 to this year Sec 1? I thought its 225?

Wah, how you know about the 1 point?

What about if the person PV 6 years just because of being Kaypo and no obligation, how many points?

Zero points lah - for being Kaypoh. Sec school can gain extra points one meh? Ok - that's subject to the principal, but I don't think so lenient. I know active PVs whose boys didn't make cut-off to chs sec and sent them to international schools. Even boys who DSA'd thru CCA but didn't make a 220+ also didn't get to make good their DSA offer in the end. ;(

Yah, isn't the cut-off for affiliated CHS pri boys set at 230 for this coming year?

Balloting is done openly by the VP in front of everyone.

They mark ping pong balls with your number and draw in front of you.
Very exciting and also scary & emotional too !

ya, I thought so too.

@JonC: all the best for your boy. We have another round for psle for our younger boy next year!!! And this one I really He hates to *work*

[ClubNAKO]

But PV does give you an advantage, you get another chance to ballot if you don’t get a place the first time. Not everyone has the time to do PV, so, I guess its fair afterall…

I thought if DSA successfully to a sec, usually schools are not particular about the psle aggregate?

CHS sec apparently is - or at least some of the CCAs accepting the DSA are quite particular about the academic standards of the boys as well.
