Best time t go fr holiday is during PSLE marking week. No school and off peak season oso

But if got younger primary schooling kids cannot le ... It is pretty near to their sa2...

Thankfully we don't have. We are going off on hols for that week with the youngest but the older ones have school. AS for the P6 one - he wants to play alone at home and just hang around doing his own stuff. Okie lor.

Hi ! Can anyone advise me when can we go on holiday after my son psle this year ? When is the psle results out ? Is 1st week of Dec good time to travel after his psle result out ?

I randomly went to one Primary School's website and it says that PSLE results would be released on Friday 26 November. Though it says \"tentative\", chances are it is usually a confirmed date, but just that most schools would put it as \"tentative\", just in case to play safe.

You are given 5 days including 26 November and weekend to submit your 6 choices for Secondary Schools and even that, you don't need to go to the Primary School to submit your choices physically unlike previous years, so means online submission can be done anyway, anytime. You just need your son's result slip and the PIN given with the results slip to submit your Secondary School Selection online.



But to play safe, I would suggest a holiday after 1 December, and I would suggest that you come back before 20 December. The Orientation for S1 is usually held a day or few days before Christmas.

The secondary section of the same primary school that I checked randomly says release of S1 posting is on 22 December and all P6 students are to report to the Secondary School on 23 December. Again they say that it is tentative, but I have every reason to believe that it should be those dates.

After the Orientation, you will be very busy, sometimes the uniform size for your child is not available or some textbooks are missing etc, so you will need those few days after the Orientation to scout around for those missing items.

Speaking from experience, hope that helps.

Hi Maid,
I think these posting dates you found on the website relate to 2010. I have asked MOE and they have given me these dates in an email:
Results : between 24 nov to 28 nov
School posting : 21 Dec
Report to sec school : 22 Dec

They qualified that these are tentative dates, but I know they never give anything in writing unless they are pretty sure.

The posting date and date to report to secondary school has actually been brought forward. As for the results release, I don't think they every do it over the weekend. My bet is on 24 Nov.

When my son sat for his psle 2 years ago, he made me promise to let him be at his computer for 2 whole weeks after and not do anything else. I believe this is the longest school break they will get, for when they go into secondary school, holidays are never really holidays. So give them the break they deserved, parents. They worked so hard! The only thing I made him promise to do is to read a lot in English and MT. Didn't have that much luck there, though.

2 days ago I went to Bishan popular and surprised to see that they are displaying many learning languages set on the display near to the store entrance. The price per set is about $49..emm hope I did not remember wrongly...So for those kids keen to learn a foreign language during this yr end holiday, I think is a gd idea to get one..

Thanks vlim for the tip. Will check it out. Learning a foreign language does sound like a good idea. Am cracking my head trying to plan something for DS1 who gets bored easily.

Immediately after the last paper on Tue, DS1 played computer games with a vengeance for 2 hours non stop. After he was told to stop, he read his novel with a vengeance non stop for 4 hour. He stopped reading after finishing the entire book and complained about being bored.......that is only the very day after exams. :roll:

He has a few things line up for him this holiday like soccer camp, electric guitar class, maybe NAFA art classes and his school has organized an educational tour to Vietnam. But most of the time, i think he will just alternate between books and computer. Hopefully he will take to foreign language (Latin sounds exotic). And not forgetting sports.
