I am going against the flow again...... No kid gone thru PSLE yet, so not crystal clear yet.....


Why don't make it such that after accepting CO, give choice to skip PSLE. Why go thru' the motion to show a score that no one will care after you get into sec school? Can stipulate time spent on other things like community work, etc. More productive.

If kid/parent is serious in trying again after CO, then opt for PSLE second chance. These will not be frivilous ks cases. Kiasu,yes, but need to work harder for being kiasu...

After all, some go for \"O\" and \"A\" and some skip.

:siam:

You can't skip PSLE.
One of the prerequisite of DSA is must at least get a PSLE score high enough to enter express stream ie t score of at least 200.

And previous years there were incidence of people with CO who forgot to submit their DSA confirmation. Or didn't submit properly.

Even homeschooled children need to take PSLE ... certainly in national schools, the kids need to right? It's compulsory under MOE.

Furthermore, it doesn't mean that with a DSA, the child WILL definitely do well enough. There are incidences of students who eventually get PSLE score below 200 and cannot make good their DSA offer. I have personally seen. Well, unless the child has a DSA offer to a school that has Normal stream as well, then maybe that is not too big an issue, but they still need to place the child, whether in Express or Normal stream, right?

So, how can MOE make let any child not take PSLE just because they have a DSA offer?

Thank you choco05! :thankyou: If a student gets into two schools they appealed to, what would happen?

Hi,

What I learn is that this is almost not possible. You can only appeal to your 1st-choice school. The 2nd-choice school that you appeal to will not take your appeal as priority.

Correct me if I am wrong.

2 yrs ago, i appealed to HCI & DHS for my DS & were successful in both although none of these 2 schs were in our 6 choices in e S1 submission. What u need to do is collect the letter of transfer fm e sch u appealed & intended to join n get e principal of the sch where u were originally posted to to sign, then return the signed copy to the appealed sch. For the other successful appeal, we juz politely rejected them & they will then offer the place to the next one on the WL.[/quote]Thank you pinky88 :thankyou:

Hi MummySTay,


Ours is from 14 dec onwards.

Cheers

Thanks, Pinky and Leanne. Apparently, it is different schools, different collection dates then.

For RGPS is it 7 Dec, then? Sorry... I was overseas on the PSLE results release day so I didn't get to hear the principal's announcement...
Thanks!!!

I just realised that there are 2 diff people: pinky and pinky88. Silly me!

Hi pinky, the PSLE cert is something similar to what the children received on 24 Nov, except that this is nicely laminated; for keeps.
