      Moreover, when my friends told me that her DD with 3A* + A = >265, I already take it with a pinch of salt! She always wanted and pushes her DD to go RGS since P5 , in the end, if her DD got 267, why isn't her DD in RGS? just FYI, her DD went to Cedar! what do you think? In the end, she told us that , oh, my DD like Cedar better than RGS! we gave her face , and wished her DD the best!

      Maybe this girl DSA cedar and accepted CO. So cannot change lor.

        What's wrong with Cedar? My niece got >265 chose cresecent girls. Why such myopic views that top girls only choose rgs and nyg???

        Kudos to parents who respect their children's views ...

            Hi, I would like to know abt the 3rd language. Assuming the child is qualify for 3rd language, must he make the selection during Sec Posting? Or can he decide when school starts next year?

              Secondary posting. On the orientation day, you will get a letter stating that you have been offered one of your choices. This applies to DSA students as well (I think)

                Yes, same for all students. You indicate your third lang choice during the S1 Central Posting Exercise and will be notified of the outcome of your selection on reporting day.

If the child wants to opt out subsequently, will then have to write to the language center?
