PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

Hi everyone,

I don't know how relevant it is to ask this help here when you all have other major concerns. I apologize if this hurts anyone. I am genuinely interested in some help in choosing my daughter's secondary school. She scored 252 + 2 for HMT. She has been a school topper in previous years and a consistent high scorer. All the while we were having a high expectation like 260+ and dreaming about top schools with IP. I feel very helpless to choose her school. Does she have any chance to get into IP programme?. If not what other good choice of school I have?. I live in marine parade. Will appealing for recorrection help in anyway?.

cedar girls has IP (newly set up), right? perhaps u can try cedar.
for non-IP in the east, can consider anglican and chung cheng which are both good schools, i think.

Need some advise please.... My girl got 235, any good sec school in west for this range?

Hi, just to share.. There is this education and careers guidance portal at https://ecareers.sg that MOE set up. Need your DC's BC no. to login. Apparently, it's available to all students from P1 onwards but seems that very few parents know about it. It has a neat feature where you can key in your DC's PSLE agg and limit by geographical region to get a list of schools. Hope this helps.

I admit I am a Kiasu parent. It is also wonderful to see the kids in these schools got such wonderful PSLE grades. However, I do not think it makes much sense to focus only on the toppest score of the school. After all, the toppest score is more of a confirmation of the individual kid's effort than the school's overall effort. It's the total numbers of kids that scored up 260+, 250+ that reflect the standard of the school.

Not that we want to focus on the top score. But information about total number of kids that scored 260+, 250+ is not readily available.

Cedar cut-off for IP is 258. Do you think there is a chance for my daughter to get in.

u r quite a few points below the cutoff, so might be very slim chance, to be honest.

You may want to try Catholic High. They will be having IP program next year for the first time. Thin your daughter's score should be good enough for the school.

My son didn't do very well...we were caught off guard.

He has 203. Need time to get over it.
Seriously I don't know what happened, but can't ask him.

Hi Janet, suppose you've already accepted that the results are final. I have been thru the same as you 2 yrs back when my gal scored 199... No tears, no scolding or blaming... and as I didnt collect the results with her then, I only wanted her to make her way home safe.

I was determined to walk the tougher route with my gal. She was totally shocked I didnt say too much, and worked with her the limited but still with options. Normal or express? This or that school? I am a single mum and settle everything the best for her. Yet, I let her make the decision, as I want her to know she's old enough to be responsible for herself.

Looking at her now, I suppose she has learnt the lesson herself - to take failure and never to be too be over-confident. She is moving smoothly to Sec 3 next year and getting into the best class and subjects she aimed for.

Kids are smart and they will do it at their pace. We are parents, not angels nor GOD. We guide and make sure they are on the right path... and when they are almost there, we let loose and they are on their own.

Well, fortunate for my 2nd child, he saw and he tried... and yes, he scored much better seeing the diffculties the sis and I went throu... Am sure You and your child will be good.

Adetan,

I agree with phtthp,if info not reliable pls do not anyhow post.my son tuition friend from st Anthony said that their school only had. 2 285 unlike what you said as 5[/quote]even two 285-highscore students fr st anthony, i also find it hard to believe. Wouldn't tat mean there r FOUR top scores (1 NYPS, 1 NH, 2 SA) this yr? Anyone knows if tat's unprecedented?
