I think so… for a boy who doesn’t study… It is very good…

Hope all parents are thankful for their children’s results…

Kind_soul, 244 is good result, especially for boys.


I do hope parents can share the top scores in their school too, so that we can
gauge the cut-off for the children’s ideal schools.

Can you all share also the 1st 2nd choice secondary schools that your child is aiming?

Hey, does anyone know how much does a child need to score in order to get the scholarship from the government?

LovingDadSG:

I beg to differ with you. The secondary school booklet published by MOE already provides cutoff of past PSLE scores. If MOE is not releasing comprehensive data re: PSLE top score, second guessing based on unverified information here doesn't help. In any case when you apply for school, you can put multiple choices - so whatever it is, your children gets the best available choice based on his/her results and availability.

last year's cohort performance is different from this year. For those whose points hover around the cut off, the information is important so as not waste the choices. Of course if your child's score is 270+ as you have indicated, you wouldnt have bothered

LovingDadSG:

It is one thing for parents to motivate their children to do best but it is completely unnecessary obsession with getting into top schools that is the real root of the problem.

Having the information to decide wisely does not mean that you are obssessed with getting into top schools. You have indicated that your kids are in the top schools.
I have 2 kids as well and I am also glad that they are in IP schools. However I cannot persuade myself to hold moral highground and tell others not to be \"obsessed\" with the better schools when we know that the schools are differentiated and thats the reality. On what grounds can we persuade others that all schools are the same, when we put our children into the IP schools?
