Sorry if I’m bursting anyone’s bubble but I heard that PL Sec is removing the affliation with PL Pri within the next few years.


Best to prepare your child adequately instead of depend on the affiliation.


MMM, your niece got a very nice teacher-in-charge for band. He’s very soft-spoken & the girls often bully him!

I heard the news from my friend too. His girl is P6 this year, it seem that this year they are already not affiliation.

Really???? My sil told me few months ago that so long as it's 1st choice, it's like almost 100% chance.

I heard it from a very reliable source, but that person can't confirm the actual date they are stopping the affiliation as it's still in the talks now. However, I do know it's within the next 2-4 years.

Will it affect those studetns who just sat for their PSLE?

I can't confirm when they'll implement it as there's no official news about it yet. The best is to check MOE's website on the PSLE cut off points. If it's not updated there, then I doubt it'll affect this year's PSLE students.

I think the earliest batch of pupils affected is either P4 or 3.

Based on what I know, it's because PL Sec wants to raise the standards by raising the PSLE cut off.

Currently they are getting alot of students with low-mid PSLE scores of 190 - 229, all from PL Primary. Only a handful are appeal cases or DSA cases.

Typically these students are taking up 4/5 out of their 6 express classes per level. No matter how much effort the teachers put in, it's hard to produce excellent results which should be the case given the numerous programmes the school has.

Actually, this matter has been in talk since I was a student there! I'm quite glad they are finally finalising the matter. As an old girl, I'm happy that my alma mater is finally raising the bar (maybe because I do not have a DD yet, so I don't feel the immediate 'impact').

This will also raise PL Pri's standards once parents & students get rid of the idea that they'll be 'safe' as PL Sec will always be their safety net if they don't do well.

And another surprising observation: PL Sec still has Normal Tech (1 class per level).

Hi Csky, nice to hear from you too. I thought I was the only mom here with daughter going to PLMGS :oops:

How is your P2 gal coping in terms of school work and is she taking part in Ballet?

Cheers
