Hi E3, thank u for the detailed description.. the shirts have very little space between the word \"presbyterian' and the pocket. so when I sew the name on, the name will be half-covered by the pocket. (eh, the name is not supposed to be on the pocket rite? :oops: )


I believe it only affects the new shirts, cos I saw the pic on the PH website, it looked ok, only when I tried to sew on, I realised there isn't enuff space..

Think you are right... I managed to sew my ds name tag just above the pocket and there is enough space... My ds uniform was bought last year.

oh.. so there isn't any hard n fast rule? I was unsure, so I checked PH's website.. I've sewn it directly under the 'presbyterian', covering up part of the 'y' hahaha.. oh well.. see wat happens when school re-opens then.. if there is proper guidelines lah.. too lazy to re-do now.

Noticed that PH is very slow to update their PSLE results on their website. I took a look at their website and the latest PSLE results posted were 2008 ones :faint: .


Many other schs have already posted their latest PSLE outcome (yr 2010). I know that 2009 was the yr PH made great strides in her results. And this yr should also be a yr of good harvest. Yet the results were not published on their website. Is this the valued asian characteristics of modesty . However branding is so impt nowadays especially with the ubiquitous nature of the Internet. Think they need to employ me as their brand manager, keke.

Sir, no need to brand anymore...school is reputable enough...except that it has yet to produce a top PSLE scholar. Maybe that will happen when ALMIGHTY leaves the school.

I do think it is also tougher. Not that I am for or against it, but the recent changes to class distribution will evenly spread out the good students in 2 class, this will remove the high competitiveness and influence to excel higher due to the competition. Thus in general, the competitive will drop.

Rosyth produce 2 out of the Top 3 this year. Their top P6 class this year is also one of the most competitive in recent years. Somehow, they spurs each other to greater heights. So the likelihood of PH to produce a Top PSLE scholar is lower, though not totally impossible.

So, no top scholar but the general cohort will improve and that will benefit all parents. :celebrate:

Hi Trapwithin,

I didn’t follow the earlier chats regarding class distribution…but if there is no longer ‘Charity’ for eg…the drive to spur on may not be as challenging as before. However, this may not necessarily be the case…bcos some kids will want to do well when their inner motivation matures for boys esp.

I don't know about the effects the new initiatives have on students, but this particular parent certainly switched his mind to cruise control when he found out that there is no streaming at end P1 :imcool: .

Of course still need to work lah, but at least now it's in cruising mode.

for me, I'm quite glad that there will be some form of change, at least it shows that the sch is concerned abt more than just the academic aspects of the children. I always believe that children should learn to do their best, and not 'learn to be better than others'..

My son has been streamed since the end of P1 and up till now, he is working hard to 'maintain'...not even striking goals. This is the standard in Pei Hwa.
Although daughter is going to another school, I still believe in applying same method of teaching for her next year...ie 1 hour of studying during school holidays to keep the brain working...not too much right ? I've got several friends asking me, 'What ?? School holidays still need to do assessment book? Why ?'

I've given up explaining there is a need to keep the brain working...maybe school culture is diff or maybe parents' mentality is diff.

Hi, What about Pei Hwa’s PLSE results of 2010? Like how many 4A*? How many 260/250 above? Anybody know that?

Thanks.
