Lucky mine dont need to travel.

Hi Everyone,


Anyone here can advise me : do we need to make our decision immediately. 2 years ago, I remembered that we only decide on the type of third language after the school reopen. Did I remember correctly? So must I do it on line before 2 Dec?

Thank You

[mathsparks]

yes you've to submit your choices by 2 dec. :congrats: to your son. Heard on the forum he's top 12! Well done!

According to the booklet, the top 10% of PSLE scorers are invited to apply for a foreign language (French, Japanese, German). I’m curious to know what’s the cut off point for the top 10% this year.


Have any students with <250 or <240 received this offer?

Thanks.

Of course can. We straightaway submitted the confirmation for s1 DSA and \"zero\" selection for 3rd language yesterday online.

I told my boy if he wants to learn 3rd Lang, I'd sent him to the CC to learn. *haha*. I told him that it's better to spend his time on school electives since it would all be in school and don't have to travel to Regional Language Centre! Or even spend time on CCA, better lah.

yes, as far as 3 rd lang is concern, my gal already said \"no...no\" when she sees her cousin taking french in rgs, travelling all the way to bishan and returning home at abt 8 p.m or so. most of the days, her parents are home earlier than her.

she can take her 3rd lang at her free time even after she left school.

i rather she spend time on something she likes........
she is interested in cooking and baking,
so when she read fr the booklet 2 that DHS offers culinary club as one of the CCA, she yeah for joy..........i thot what happens??? haha

Two of my son's friends, one with 252 is offered foreign language (French, Japanese & German) while the other one with 247 is not offered. So i guess the cut-off for top 10% is around 250?
