I received a phone call from ACSI at 9am this morning just before leaving for oral. It has been the best news ever! Thank God!


My ds is from mainstream and he got into IP. I still can't believe it! He actually didn't finish his HAST ....like many questions!

What a timely call... your DS must be smiling away to his Oral Well-done and congratulations!

As always, the school will tell you there are many considering factors in DSA, the best academic performer may not necessary get a CO if he/she lacks some other X-factors that the examiner is looking for. Your DS must have performed extremely well in some area that make-up for the shortfall in his HAST. So we learn from here ... there are many routes to success and he did it his way! :congrats: :rahrah:

[quote=\"leeven\"] :rahrah: :rahrah: congrats . U r GEP or mainstream. My friend GEP wait for call

Mainstream & a 100% true-blue neighborhood Sch. So mainstreamers, got chance got chance 加油!!

Congrats ... but your ds school though 100% neighbourhood school, it is a very very good neighbourhood school.
:siam:[/quote]Din want to say this....but it's actually one of the bottom bottom type. Guess many of us tend to only hear of all those good schools with t-score > 250 eg. 40+% or 50-100 students of the cohort, >80% goes express etc.
This is one of those schools with < 10 students above t-score 250 each year, only 40+% goes express sec etc.

Why I had mention 100% neighborhood school is to give some hope to some parents.......it can happen (I sound like govt liao..... :rotflmao: )

But whatever, I am contented

Thank you all for your congrats!


I actually cried after the phone call. The anxiety and exams really got into me.

My ds's classmate also received his CO but we advised the kids not to ask their friends as we do not want anyone affected during the oral.

So the mainstreamers do have their chances here, and my feel is that it's probably the overall portfolio plus HAST that the school is looking at. So be encouraged all you out there. :xedfingers:

Yes meet 430pm, preferably school uniform. Last 1/2 hr to 45 min.

Good that you have something to cry over now :rahrah:

For some of us, it is still the anxious waiting that feels like eternity.

care to share which club is yr son goes for water polo?

My ds goes to SPEEDI Swim (Tel 81126744/67655668), located at Singapore Sports School. The coach is Russian and is definitely the best water-polo coach for teens that I have seen. He will make sure that every individual is up to the standard that he wants. My ds only joined waterpolo late in P5 but was still able to make it. :imcool: Same for his GF.

Is it for your ds? If interested, come and see them play a match on Sunday 3-5pm (not plc holiday). Last Jun, their team played against Sec Sch (under 13), while all of them are from P4 -P6, but they still got 2nd place. :rahrah:
