TREX8:

Just to share information regarding CO and minimum PSLE T-score.


During the tea session with NYGH on 5 Aug where the girls received their CO letter, P of NYGH, in response to a question by a parent, confirmed that the girls will be offered a place as long as they have PSLE T-score of 200, which is roughly the T-score to qualify for Express stream as NYGH does not offer N(A) nor N(T). However, she did qualify that she hopes the girls will do their best for their PSLE and come in with good T-scores.

that is exactly correct. same as every school that offers the DSA CO

That's exactly the worry of my dd's teacher. All the girls in GE has at least a CO now and they are not so stressed anymore... I am also like that. Since the co is already a safety net, why add on the stress of these poor 11+s....dd is just doing homework and going for tuition. I no longer sit with her to go through questions one by one....even as a mom, i can feel a heavy load off... phew...

Hi I was wondering if the non-GEP students who applied to NYGH or NJC have gone for interviews already? My dd has not received anything from NYGH and NJC after going for the ability tests last month. Anyone knows? My dd told me that she has probably been rejected. Wondering if there is any chance for her.

:sad:

[phtthp]

curious ... are there parents with kids from affliated primary schools also going for DSA ?

Hi cindylauper,

The result of the shortlisting for NJC will only be known one week prior to the selection camp, which is on 20 Aug. So, there is still chance. :xedfingers:

Hi,

Though it can be discouraging to see so many CO and WL, but life still goes on. We should share the joy with these successful applicants, aren't we? :rahrah:

In my humble opinion, my DD has done well in her P6 SA1 (overall percentage is close to 90%) and has attained Grade 9 in her Chinese musical instrument. She went for GAT and audition. The instrutor did comment on that day of audition that she played very well. We were pinning high hope then but from the looks of it, we were wrong. Anyway, my DD is very positive. She felt that in a way this 'failure' (she called it that way) is not the end of the world and it will spur her to work extra hard to get into NYGS with her own excellent PSLE results. Hence, the rest of you, please do not feel dejected. Continue to encourage your DDs. All the best! :rahrah: :rahrah:

Ha Ha for parents there is still the matter of saving $200 per month from fees via GE grant or equivalent. The kids will not care cos they are not paying.
