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!!!

Lavender_Tea:

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

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.

Hi Mummies and Daddies out there,

Hi Parents of PLMGS(Pri), my only girl is now in P1. The last 4 weeks in PL were really a sharp learning curve for her and us, as parents. Books were lost and found, and some went ???, stationery too! Class teachers called up as early as 2nd wk to discuss her inattentiveness in class. I was taken aback initially when was told that the teacher shouted at my girl. But, into the 4th wk, I am now getting pretty use to that. The girls need the basic discipline for the teacher to manage her class. One of my girl’s classmates lives on the same floor with me. She cried last nite and confided that without her nap time, as before in childcare, she is finding it tough to keep alert. (As both parents work, she needs to go to her nanny’s place b4 8am every morning). Also, the teacher reprimanded her for "interrupting" when she raised her hand in class, she said that she just wanted to ask question. I guessed she must be finding it hard to express her intention during class to her teacher. Her little mind just could not understand why she was scolded. Poor kid, so much about adjustments into the primary sch system here. The BIG gap between kindergarten and pri 1 is really getting a toll on all these young girls.

DS misses his girlfriends from Cherie Hearts Childcare nearby. Hear half the girls in his K2 class went to PLMGS.

Believe the shock of P1 system is very drastic, compared to Childcare as Classroom-based learning is very different from Activity-based learning.
Thankfully DS is very happy-go-lucky and hyperactive kid who boh-chap teacher’s scoldings, just knew he needs to pay attention in class and pretend to understand what is being taught.
