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.

<< the above post is meant to be light-hearted, pls don't wallop me >>

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.

Hi,Janet,
You are not alone in thinking like this. I think it is good to do some revision or learn something new (new academic topis) during the holiday. Like you said to keep the brain ticking/working. Infact, I think it is good as the child can learn at her pace and also let her think that that it is normal to learn. Of course, try to make the learning as enjoyable and relax as possible. (by giving stars award, lots of praises and her choices of outing)
