2013 PSLE Discussions and Strategy
-
So any parent here is planning to go for secondary school open house in 2012? My colleague told me alot of the parent will start to look see look for their idea secondary school during P5. She said she regret to go during her ds P6, she should have go 1 year earlier so can see a few more school to compare.

Hi, my DS will be taking PSLE in 2013. We need early preparation because we DIY and hope to keep it this way. During holidays, we relax, read English fiction/non fiction casually. I am more concerned about his Chinese as he has slipped into band 2. I downloaded some China Chinese drama without English subtitles, read one Chinese article of 我报 daily, copy some Chinese essays. We speak Mandarin at home so Chinese is truly our mother tongue but sadly, my DS processes his thoughts in English then translate them into Chinese. I just hope that we are not too late.
I have also just printed the yr 2010 cut off aggregate scores of "top" secondary schools for my DS to set realistic target. Anyone knows how to get yr 2011 cut off aggregate? -
Any yes, I intend to attend open houses in yr 2012.

My DS too! PSLE in 2013!
Thankful that we have a common ground for support and advice here:) -
I didnt know P5 can attend open house. I wld like to bring my dd to a few Schs to hv a look too. Then she can set her goals n use these 2 yrs to work towards it.:)
Let's keep each other updated on the open house dates in this thread. -
My plan for open house visits during P5, go for one last choice school (worst case scenario & for comparison) and go for 2/3 ideal "top" schools.
Do I sound too ambitious? And by P6 go for the most realistic school open house max 2. -
