Good luck all DC (dear children) for CA1! :rahrah:

I think that as long as the kids try their best. It’s more than enough for me. Realistic expectations. All the best for those taking CA1!

Buds,


I always enjoy reading your posts and admire your time management in handling 4 kids. :udawoman:

My son's piano exam is after CA. We will just leave CA to his fate. If he doesn't do well in CA, let it be a reminder for him that he needs to work hard to get good results.

All the best to your DD's CA and violin exam!

as a parent, i need to have realistic expectations when son took his psle.
i saw his hard work, stress over 9 months and honestly, i prayed hard he did not suffer a burnt out.

Any idea after PSLE when will the results be out and by when must we submit the Sec Sch selection and know the results?


Planning year end hols as a celebration for DS completing his PSLE but dun wanna clash with results collection date and/or Sec Sch selection/result dates…

TIA!

I don't think the PSLE dates are out yet, but MOE should be informing soon.

Based on past years, PSLE results are usually released between 21-25 Nov (so far, it is usually on a Thur). You are supposed to submit your secondary school application within a week. Thereafter, the school posting results will only be out about 20 Dec (+/- one to two days) and kids need to report to their new school the very next day.

Best timing for trip would be after PSLE before result release (that is if school is ok to release kid earlier - most schools do not mind) or after result release in early Dec before the school posting is out.

Hope this helps.

Hehehe... yeah surprise for DS. Hwr, can't go off immed after PSLE lei, cos still have DS2 who will have SA2 in late Oct, finish by early Nov.

Arh... another good time could be the last/2nd last week of school, before sch holidays start? Must we ask the school for permission earlier as the school will be posting the students to their classes next year and giving out school report cards. Alamak so difficult to find a good timing... :scratchhead:

Dun really prefer Dec cos thinking of going OZ or NZ and Dec could be very hot! Nov shld be slightly better...

ScaredyMum, quite a lot of parents pull their kids out of school after SA2. Just hv to inform school. If you worry about report book, next year class - then plan the hol immediately after the last paper - teachers usually need min one week to mark and prepare report book

Best time to travel is during PSLE marking week or 1st 2 weeks of Dec.
