When I read all these countdowns, I feel very nervous for other parents!


Anyway, it's a good time to teach your child about disappointment and other values like accepting their successes or failures (if they did not get into a school of their choice) and what's the next course of action. Remember to assure them that you'll still love them no matter what the result is.

Yes totally agreed.

learning to take failure is part of learning process. Good for them to learn to deal with it early in their life ...

Another 2.5 days to that all-important SMS...ASSUMING results are released from 4am..


Good luck to all students/parents! Hope you'll get the school of your choice. :xedfingers:

Need more things to do before that? How about go on a bus/train ride with your child to figure out how to commute?

It's realeased at 9 o'clock (i heard) so no need so kiasu

[mathsparks]

I not kiasu at all. Merely providing a free announcement service here...plus to chalk up my posts. :evil:


Anyway, if you've been following this topic, you'll see some parents recalling their past experiences. Even the JC posting SMSes are released as early as after 6am.

Just curious, a few questions here:


Q1:
When we recieve the sms, it will state the name of the school or will it be just state the school code (which we then have to refer to the MOE book again) ?

Q2:
In the Form S1 which we filled online, I remember I filled in my hp number & my DW’s hp num. Will both of us get the sms ?

Thanks

Talking about disappointment, after talking to a few mums. Looks like TKGS's COP will be much higher this year. Last year was 235, but now it is a Band 1 school with very high value added. It will not be a surprise that its COP will go beyond 242.

The sms comes with school name and code.


It came to us at about 5am!

that's bad news....I was hoping my DD gets in with 240 score. If this happens , then will other schools COP come down.... Which schools will be affected downwards with this surge? :roll:

Hi, though we had included our HP no. in the application, so besides receiving the SMS, just to check if the student has to go back to their own primary school to to get the posting results as well as the PSLE Certificate? This is what my DD heard from last year Ex-students. Is it true? Thanks.
