2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

all the best to all parents & kids, posting will be out next week. just sharing, whatever school posted, there is always opportunity to excel if kids are properly motivated and have good family support. Those that are well informed will know , even in many of the top corporations ( public & private sector) there are many C-level, MDs, Ds that came from humble neighborhood schools i.e. Gan Eng Seng, Ghim Moh, Monkhills, Katong Convent, TKGS etc.
It is not about reaching the end point (secondary) and also not a race. It’s only just the beginning of a long journey towards life-long goals. Pls give 200% support and continue to motivate with unconditional love to your love ones…. -

Although there are another 3 days to go but I was told by one teacher friend that all schools would have already received their posting name list by now because time are needed within the school to complete the admin portion before 22nd Dec.

i’m very worried of what sch my dd is going to… she chose ngee ann that is 2 marks higher than her score, and her second choice is temasek with a score that is the same as hers. yet, her second choice’s school banding is band 3, and first choice is band 6. she likes the first choice school very much but worried that her marks will be like the band 6 type. i am thinking of appealing if she gets into her first choice to the second choice. How to appeal? Which is better? Ngee ann or temasek?

No need to appeal. Sure cannot get into Ngee Ann. COP 232 last yr. Anyway, they band 6 becos got affiliated students with low psle score that pull results down overall. My girl graduated last yr. She got in Ngee Ann after appeal. I remember her psle score 231 that yr. She got into VJC this yr. single digit score. my 2nd girl got 242 this yr. i put Ngee Ann first choice. -
My friend was asking if they wish to be in Option 2 or 3 school instead of the 1st option, can they appeal? If confirm can get into their 1st option but because 2nd option may have lots of students opting in and the cop is very close to the psle score, do you think it is advisable to appeal to the 2nd school of option if they are selected into the 1st (they prefer the 2nd option)? How do they do the appeal document and what is the process like? Risky? TIA.

If they prefer the 2nd option then why don't they put that as the 1st in the first place? Why ask for appeal when given 1st option? :?
It just doesn't make any sense at all! -

That was exactly what I thought! Why waste the option in the first place? :?ppnqq:

Afterall it was only a period of a week, so you might not have done your search very thoroughly or read up to understand the system - can you believe I have frens who are unaware of sch banding and only choose sch based on COP? This is esp. for cases whereby you were caught off-guard with unexpected results. After a month of talking to frens, relatives, colleagues, etc., you suddenly change your mind. That's why there are people who are asking about appealing to 2nd or 3rd choice schs now.Flowermonaster:

To all those out there taking PSLE next or following years, do your sch choices after your PSLE paper, before your results come out. I learn from a ksp parent (25-hr maid), she suggests doing a COP range (eg. 220-225, 226-230, etc.) and list out the schs of choice within that range taking into consideration banding, distance, CCA, etc. and research on those schs. I did that and though I still need to do some thinking about how to rank the choices, it is much easier. Moreover, I was able to help some frens with suggestions of schs when they were unprepared and caught off-guard.
