Hi michyms,


:thankyou:
Do keep us posted on any new changes you find out from the P1 orientation.

I agree....only take up a CCA if the child is interested; otherwise, it'll become a chore. However, having said that, some kids do take up CCA with the view of using that CCA for Sec Sch DSA (Direct sch admission) purposes in P6. A few MCS P6 gals got DSA offers thru netball, dance, R Gym etc

Tinkerbelle,it would be quite stressful to take up a CCA for the sake of direct school admission. If the child doesn't manage to get a place through this, then she would feel rather disappointed especially since she would have invested alot of time and effort into it?

Tinkerbelle, PSLE results will be out next week, time flies! Is your dd nervous?

Yay, got the report book today and yes, no streaming for p1 this year. I think it was a last minute changed cos the teacher used ink to write over p2-h( computer typed) to p2-rp. The report was very detailed with all subjects taken and summary of overall p1 level results in breakdown of mean, min and max marks. It definetely gave a gauge on how well ur gal has done and what are the weaker subjects. I was surprised someone can score 100 marks on Tamil. In addition, the teacher also commented on personal holistic growth like integrity and etc. kudos to the teachers for their hardworks.


Counting down to holidays now where we can all sleep late...
I hope everyone is happy with their gals results.

Hi LLX04,
Yes, I agree with you that the sch's report book is really in detail. With all the mean, min & max marks, we can see if our DDs are keeping up with the class or cohort average.

Congrats ....your DD must have done very well to be allocated to 2H before the change in streaming process was announced. 2H is the current top P2 class. :ugogirl: Is your DD in P1 rp?

That's true....every year, many students do get disappointed when they don't get selected for DSA with their CCA. To use CCA for DSA purposes, the student has to excel in that CCA/Sport, winning awards in zonal or national competitions. Definitely not an easy feat. I seriously applaude those who made it through for their commitment. :salute:

DD is still ok now but the tension is definitely building up as the day draws closer. :nailbite:
