Have they issued an official letter to inform? Did they state the exact cut-off for the new raised cut off points?


I think they could be phasing it in. The last I heard, they are only giving 5 'bonus points' for PL Pri students.

No official letter was given but we did have a session with the principal last year on this issue.

I've just spoken to a parent today, the affected batch shld be the girls in P4 this yr. The girls will be given some bonus points and with these points, they are to compete with girls coming from other schools. No 'automatic' admissions for PL (Pri) girls anymore. So this is what some of the parents was talking about on de-affiliation.

There are so many schools of thoughts now & I suggest your cousins to call up the school to verify.

20 points advantage is alot of advantage I must say. So the PLMGP students still has enjoy the priority as compared to other students.

Is the PL Pri gals given an extra 20 pts? I read that it was 5 bonus pts only. Can someone clarify too? :?
I called the school to clarify both Sec and Pri. They are not removing the affliation as what Lavender_Tea has mentioned just that the PLMGS Sec wants to raise their Cut off pts.
Anyway I hope during the orientation on Sat, the principal will address this in her speech.

Hi PrincessP
I'm sorry if I've given the wrong info on the de-affiliation but was told by a parent about it.
So many different saying.....anyway the best is get to hear from the principal then.
Good Luck!!!

Hi all,

I've a girl who is in P5 this year & I was only aware about PL Sec raising their cut off points for PL Pri & not removing the affiliation.

Hopefully, my girl can 'escape' from the new scheme.....

Hi Lavender_tea, I am sorry,I think I didn't phrase my sentence properly. I meant that you are right in saying that they are not removing the affiliation.

I called up after this topic was raised for discussion, having spoke with the persons in charge in both Pri and Sec and both confirmed that the schools are still affiliated but they will change the system to \"bonus pts\". Unfortunately during the orientation day, this topic wasn't brought up but I managed to speak with the VP one-one. She confirmed that Both PRI and SEC are still affiliated but they are working on the bonus pts.
When they have confirmed the exact date for implementation, I think we all will have a clearer picture. Anyway, I am so excited for my daughter to study in this school so 6 years is still a long way and anything can happen. Let's just hope for the best and encourage them to study hard and not rely too much on this affiliated program

Cheers

Oh no worries.....I'm so glad you've called up the school to clarify. Thanks for sharing your findings.... :lol:

Few months back, there were briefing slides for p3 and p4 parents on the school’s website, indicating that the bonus points would be around 25 points. But now, the slides are off the website and the school is also not able to provide any information. Maybe, any parent of P3 and P4 students this years, who had attended the briefing in April, can provide more information.
