Anyone taking third language ?

Hi Kid - Are you going to SST? Thought I had seen an earlier post from you on the SST thread. Just checking.
Cheers

Yep , I'm going to SST . Just went to register yesterday . Still thinking of which third language should I take . The MOE language centre is quite near my new campus near Buona Vista MRT station . Actually , my mum told me to appeal to better schools like RV but I didn't want . I told her that SST is still my choice as I like the style of the school. Really excited waiting for the school year to start.

Hi!!! I hav 258+2 n I want to try RGS as my first choice, would it be very hard? Do u think I have to appeal? :?:

Going by past few years COP for RGS, yes quite tough for your case. If don't get in via S1, go appeal. Good luck

Anyone knows why not the full range of 3rd lang is offered to some pupils? My ds has only, Msp, Arabic and Indonesian under the choices offered. None from the 03 category.

Bc the child is not within Top 10%. Only students who are within Top 10% are offered the full range of 3rd Lang.

Hi,
Any idea whats the top 10% COP T-Score for this year PSLE?

Congratulations. My son has appealed and we are keeping our fingers crossed. Like you he likes the style of the school and has his heart set on it. Good luck for the 2nd chapter of your school education.

I would expect the system to throw out a error mesage if it detects duplicate school code. Would have liked to try it, but DS tscore on borderline of his dream school, so I don't want to fool around with his choices.

Hi tisha is your DS applying to ACSI ?

Yes, ngbrdad. That is his dream school. So we are putting it as first choice. Will be submitting the choices latest by tomo.
BTW, do you know if NJC requires you to put their school as first choice if planning to appeal later?

I'm not sure.
Is your DS in same situation like my DS ie cleared Hast but didn't clear the second round ?
My DW is not very keen in appealing to NJC after all the problems in the DSA process.

Hi,Ngbrdad,
Actually my dd also quite similiar from ur ds situation. She scored 247 and went through the 1st round of dsa at njc. It wad double blow again when she didn't made it after psle. This has always being her dream school as her cousin is also in the school. Didn't dare to appeal cause her mark was really too off and don't want her to be disappointed for the 3rd time. That s why going to try for scgs but did prep her that it s also difficult to go in scgs .
However, ur son do have 1 thing more that will put him apart from my dd .He is a gepper.
So all the best to him and I will pray for him as well as for my girl that both of them can eventually go into the school they want . :xedfingers:

If you were not in GEP, then secondary cannot take GE? Or can apply?

They used to have a GE selection at sec 1, they have removed that. GEP is no longer a big focus now.
