      Good Morning everyone!!!


      DS received invitation to HCI Step Up Leadership camp in Oct. 2D1N at HCI boarding school. Any of your DS also going? Think is meant to be for those DSA to HCI. I heard some on WL also gets it. But some on CO do not. So, don't know what is the selection criteria.
      My DS has not received such invitation although he got a CO from HCI. When did your DS receive it? Via email or letter?

      Yesterday DS received an email from his teacher who requested the pupils to fill up an online form by 16 Sept for their choice of secondary schools via DSA. I clicked on the link of the form and did not see any title or description, so I am very confused about the request. Is the form a survey or a replacement of the preference form that is supposed to submit after PSLE during 22-28 Oct? Can any parents share if your DS also receive such email? What should the official preference form look like?

        DS received letter/form yesterday from school. Need to indicate whether he wants to go for the camp.
        What online form is that? Did you look at the url? Is it school website?
        I understand from DS that his school did ask the children to update on a form on the CO/WL that they received.

          The URL is from google, not from any school and neither from MOE. The pupils were required to fill up their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, … choices of the secondary schools and also indicate if they have received the COs or WLs from these secondary schools. I think maybe the primary school just wants to collect the info, but the request really confused me at first.

                Quite few years ago, the former prime minister of Thailand, Thanksin wanted to buy ManU. Maybe, you can tell your DS, become prime minister can buy the entire ManU, not just a few shares.[/quote]Yes, good idea ... will advise him πŸ˜‚

                I ask him to study hard, so that he can get what he want.... my ds said not really need to be good at study to success in life :slapshead:

                      The PSLE preference form will only be available through your ds primary school about 22 October not so much earlier. The form you have received could be a survey from the primary school. If you primary school is affiliated to any secondary school then they could be anxious to know your choice. :evil:
