            They are not my 6 choices and both schools are quite far from my house if I appeal to a school with 4 points gap , what are the chances for me to get in? Actually I am quite happy in dunman it is one of my dream school 🙂

              4 points is near impossible sorry. Anything more than 3 points below a schools cop is highly unlikely.

                  Many schools with affiliation are getting less affiliates as they have cut of points for their affiliated schools. Schools like Catholic High, Maris Stella, CHIJ (TP), Ngee Ann, and for the first time this year Katong Convent. These schools have less affiliated students so the COP is quite accurate. Rather, schools like St Hilda’s Sec, Fairfield Methodist have no COP for their affiliates and have abt 80% students from their Pri school.

                    With immediate effect, IJ TP has increased its COP to 220.

                      [quote=\"A better tomorrow\"]Someone please write something 🙂 this place is too quiet 🙂 dragon babies ,where are you 😉


                      Dragon babies are playing as hard as they can before starting Sec 1 😉
                      I have finished wrapping son's textbooks this morn...yet to wash all his new uniforms.

                      I've been wrapping my kids' books every year since P1 but today my girl took over the job. She wrapped all her own books plus her brother's. That's how excited she is abt going to Sec1.[/quote]Janet, you must stop doing these things for them. 😄

                      My dd has been wrapping her own books since P5. I told her \"It's up to you. If you want it to look nice, you can use the plastic covers. If not, don't bother.\" She would try but many covers don't fit, so she just let those be.

                      Same with studies and music. Friday morn, asked her to read 1st chapter of the Geog text and practice 1 pc of music on her instruments and when I'm free after work or weekend, I might want to listen to them. She may not do them well but it's ok. Since P4, she has been studying tingxie and dictation on her own and she does not always perform up to exopectations (teachers, that is 😂 ) but she has the satisfaction that she did it by herself. The main point is, they must learn that what you sow is what you reap. Also, independant learning reduces your stress level.

                        I do not belong to this thread. But last post abt independence. Just to share, DD1 is in P1 and she has been washing her school shoes most of the time. Not always well-washed. Once she did a bad job and saw the result when it was dried, she tried harder the next wash :evil:


                        On my lazy days, ds (5 yos) will make breakfast for himself.

                        Just to share that it's never too young to start. 😉 and that the mess and less than perfect result is ok.
