Hi Zhenx,

Go get a copy of the Newpaper today. This year PLMGSS did very well. My gal came back yesterday said there was a 100 % jump in the number of pupils scoring 7 As this year. School will be off next Wednesday.

Sharing with you this link for your girl's preparation ==> http://www.post1.net/biow/entry/2010_o_levels_cut_off_point_to_jc_junior_college_in_singapore

Which school /JC were you from btw? Hope you're not from my alumni ?!

Oh yes, can share with me the link where you got those statistics on 2011’s ‘O’ level performance of PLMGSS? I can’t find it on school’s website

Hello, my girl is in sec 1 this year too. I would also like to have the link as I don't think PLMGSS has posted yesterday's results on their website. It's very encouraging to read about students who did not do well in their PSLE but did extremely well in the O level. So we should be optimistic as long as our girls put in their best effort in school

Hi 'mommies', it can be found in school website under 'Achievements' , then go to 'GCE 'O' 2011'. http://www.plmgss.moe.edu.sg/

Thanks for sharing. Actually I have the 2011 JC COP: http://www.post1.net/biow/entry/2011_o_levels_cut_off_point_to_jc_junior_college_in_singapore. Notice it is more competitive than before.

Hi ptmom, glad to have a ‘new’ addition. Must visit this site more often, ok?

Hope there’s a parent from S3 joining so I can enquire about what to expect in S2.

My alma mater is NYGH/HCJC. Wish the clock can be turned back to those good old days where fond memories still linger at one corner of my mind. Hey Zhenx we may have met each other at the bus stop outside HCJC or at the opposite road. I think let's better stop discussing this issue before we progress to asking which year we graduated and deducing our age


Welcome ptmom. Hope to see more parents with kids in PLMGSS sharing in this forum, be it new learning tips/growing pains of their teenage girls etc. More power to PLMGSS and may it see its banding status improve by leaps and bounds in 2012 and beyond!

I missed that Tues Newpaper but managed to view a brief report in e-newpaper. :stompfeet:

How's your girl adapting to S1? Now still in honeymoon? I remember the schedule after Sept holidays was very tight last year. Very little time to prepare for EOY exam and the pressure was worse than psle. :imconstipated: Hope your DD doesn't experience that. :?:

I wonder if this forum mainly caters to those parents of top schools like RGS/RI/NYGH/HCI etc.. or parents worried sick about their child's P1 registration? Otherwise, how come just the 2 of us are in this forum at most times? Maybe most of the parents of PLMGSS are not Kiasu enough


Anyway, so far my girl has been giving her thumbs-up to the food served in PLMGSS canteen. Sushi/sandwich/hokkien mee and all that. I think the canteen serves delicious yet healthy food. She really loves the food there.

She has been shortlisted for the school's netball team but I'm worried that this may be too harsh a CCA for her due to possible intensive training that may be expected of her. What's your opinion on this? What's your girl's CCA if you may share? Does she enjoy it and how frequently is she expected to stay back for practice weekly?

Furthermore she plays Piano/Violin so I'm just concerned her fingers may be hurt in such sports. Do share. And I do hope that some kind parents out there from PLMGSS with kids studying in Sec 3 and up would come forward and share with you some precious tips or your Sec 2 daughter too

Since always only 2 of us, I’ll do away with the quote. Maybe most parents do not know about this link.

My girls agrees that the food is much tastier than her pri sch’s.
My girl is in the Girls’ Brigade. Her strength is in music cos she also take piano but she is not very keen to learn a new instrument like harp or handbell so we respect her choice. Anyway GB has bible study, drill and community work so it fits the bill. Her CCA is once a week for lower sec and non-NCO. Otherwise twice. So far, only mar and sept holidays have CCA activities. None in jun and dec holidays which is great.
Sports CCA is very competitive. Your girl must be very good at it. My girl’s classmate appealed for 2nd audit to get in. She is our neighbour so we get to see her training (by jogging) very hard to build stamina. Pimples also develops badly but it depends on individual hygiene and body. Initially she showed my girl her bruised hands due to training but ok now. They are v busy when there’s competition. She trains during Dec holidays too. If your girl is very keen in netball, I think it’s good way to keep fit. I think you can check CCA timetable from sch website on the frequency of training.
