Isn't 245 quite a way off from DHS' COP? You must update us about his appeal. It'll be interesting if he got in with this hidden talent.

Sure, will ask ds to check on his appeal

This morning I went to VS for orientation, his name has been removed from the class list, should be sucessfully transfered to DHS.[/quote]Hi tansm2010.
Is ur DS in 1A class? My DS in 1A. Saw a mother hastily pulled her son out of class today and walked off smilling. Her son still wearing his pri sch uniform. My wife was telling me they must hv got a place somewhere after the appeal....

Thanks for the update. He must be talented in basketball then. :)[/quote]this boy must have something to offer to DHS, otherwise don't think would be selected for trial.
In my gal's class, there are few boys who had gotten only ard 24+ but entered via DSA under CO and sports.
seems that boys have \"more privilege\" than girls under DSA or appealed cases.

I agree. It seems kids born in Jan have advantage over Dec kids. They are almost close to being different year and different phase of development and maturity.

Hi,
this may be a bit off-topic,but I don't agree Jan kids have advantage over Dec kids, before P1, u can really see the difference. But from P1 onwards, year-end kids catch up very naturally and fast and soon, you can't really tell the difference. As long as they are given the chance and proper guidance by parents, they will excel too. Just my opinion

My ds2 is a Dec boy. He just finished PSLE and did well compared to his peers. If we were to randomly pick 2 kids, one born earlier and one born later in the year, I agree it is not true that the older one would necessarily be more mature or do better in studies. However, if we were to look at the kid himself, his maturity certainly improves as the time passes. In short, I think it is \"harder\" but not \"impossible\" for younger kids to do just as well in PSLE.[/quote]My DS1 birthday is 31th Dec. He also just finished PSLE.
Naturally and physically Jan kids are more mature than year-end kids. In May this year, I observed some of his classmates already changed voice. My son hasn't change voice till now. It is easier for parents to motivate and teach the more mature kids. I can feel the obvious difference. He is more self-discipilined now than the beginning of the year.
I admit there are exceptions. Like Rosyth's Sheldon (T-Score 279), he is one year younger than his classmates. But, I think statistically Jan kids should perform better than Dec kids. Just like girls normally perform better than boys in PSLE because girls enter into puberty earlier.

My ds who is going into sec 2 next week is a Jan baby. Even now, he hasn't had growth spurt nor broken voice yet! haha. Some boys start growing in p5 and are so tall by sec 1!!!!!

Hi ,

I need some help here! Urgent .
My son was allocated to Unity. But we appealed to Kranji (his 1st choice) COP is 230 and he only got 229. We also appealed to Bukit Batok (COP 223). Bukit Batok called today and offer us a place. . But we still hoping to get into Kranji (which result will be out only on Thur). The school told me that if I accept their offer then I cant transfer again if Kranji appeal is successful and give us a place on Thur.

Its it true that we can only transfer One Time????
Very Stress! Hope you all can help to advice me what shall I do?????

Thanks so much....... :? :? :?

Ask Bukit Batok to reserve a 'space' for your son and wait til thursday to see how it goes. If they reject, you can always go to Bukit Batok
Good luck!

Sometimes it is good to prepare for the worst and make plans around it. My DD's appeal outcome is not known yet - but I ve prepared myself and her mentally that she will go to her posted sch. Frankly the attitude displayed by the sch we appealed to sort of turn me off. There were different answers given on the outcome dates. Despite that vast majority of the few hundreds appeals will end up unsuccessful, the sch has not announced the results. No mention of the waiting list even. We are in complete darkness...

塞翁失马, 焉知非福 - your child may end up in a sch that is more suitable for him. So don't stress yourself out...
