3CsMom - the way they present themselves and dressed, when i went for the interview, i was alone and dressed in a top and jeans but most of them are well dressed and guys are in shirts and pants and best one of them brought a thick file with own laptop :roll:

wow..well. whatever, i guess if you tried your best and genuine about providing your child a good education, I believe somehow, someway it will work out well. That's the belief I kept to remind myself despite if I can't get him into the school of my choice, it's not the end of the world.

edrickelleon,

Yup 100% agree. If we can and are chosen to do PV, tha’ts great. But if PV application is rejected, then nothing we can do. Next thing is proximity to school. We should still do our best and coach kids in their studies regardless of school…there is this thing called transfer. So if results are good, school of choice will still take him/her in.

Hi Sotong_mum,

Those who are chosen to be PV will have to start chalking up hours and finish b4 June next year for registration next July. Did you write in to Rulang too ? If you didn't receive any email, it may mean you weren't selected. Perhaps you would like to call the school to find out ?

Hi janet_lee88

Ya...I submitted the form to Rulang. I just called them and they said will check & let me know. Maybe they have missed out!

Hi missymorr

Honestly, even then, I may not want to transfer my child to the school whom initially rejected me. I didn't say this in spike of frustration. But think about this, the school whom took my child in had done a tremendous job for where my child is and the hot school which initially rejected us took the fruits from these so call humble schools?

Of course in terms of resources, the hot seat schools perhaps they're better in some way to produce consistent academic excellence and that it may seem best to transfer your child so to reap the most out of it. It's a difficult one. But by then, our children may have a mind of their own to decide or aid us to make a decision.

edrickelleon - agree with you totally! its not the end of the world and yes we did our best already.. i was pre-empting myself if i did not get chosen, i will just try other schools during the 2C and hoping my luck in balloting will be better :roll:

oh great then! hopefully hear good news from you!

[edrickelleon]

thank you all for sharing the same thots. I'm glad we're all here for each other during these stressful times. Jia You!


And I hope to hear the great news from you sotong mum :lol:

Just to share:
Actually, my mindset was pretty narrow initially. Very academic driven.
But thanks to my child's child care teacher whom really has done a tremendous job in nurturing my son. Earlier in the year, I was still pondering shld I send him to a more academic base kindergarten environment. But I dropped my thots as I saw my son transformed into a better person. So even if their Kindy curriculum is so so and I need to work harder at home to coach him, I think he's in good hands and they love him for who he is and not what they want him to be.

I asked her how did she do it? She said \"Enjoy your child as who they are and you will find your way around it\" \"Each individual is different so do it at their pace\". At first I thot those are just some flowery quotes but later I found out her younger child had some learning disability in his younger days and most of his schools he attended then pass remarks that they had tried their best and that it's best for him to drop out of school. But her love turned him to be a fine young man now serving his national service and had won an academic scholarship.

She's now my role model :salute:

If I can register my daughter in SCGS, that would be great bcos it's much nearer home.

Hi janet, if you are under phase 2B, it is almost guarantee as there is no balloting for phase 2B so far but phase 2C is tough, may ballot within 1 km with all the new pte properties around the school.

There is balloting for RL's phase 2B. The risk is still there.
