I don't think it is a case of missing memory. 6 years studying in a place is a long time. More important question is how long ago it is/was.Ju:
Hi all, I have an issue here. My Husband is a former student but has no report book. He contacted MOE n archives and both say no records of him studying there too. Any advice ?
... If the MOE records show that in xyz class in year 19xx he was NOT in that class, then his memory must be wrong. -

Formula is
The year he was born in + 12 years, will equal to that year , where he sat for Psle.
His birth certificate or IC, will indicate which year her husband born in.
If lost report card, lost psle cert and if go down Moe premises want to pay $ 10 to re-print psle cert & they tell u \" no record found, to re print psle cert\", does he still have long time old photographs of (P1 to P6) ex Rosyth class photos taken before, with your fellow classmates last time, years ago?
If u say also lost all these old photos, is your husband still in contact with any of his old classmates, or still in contact with any of his ex / former Rosyth form teacher / subject Tr / ex school Principal ? If yes, maybe ask them if they happen to have any old photos, to help him provide (furnish) evidence, that he ever studied in Rosyth before.
If can trace, can find, use that as a last resort evidence. -

Did your husband remember wrongly? Was is Parry Pri School (one street from the old Rosyth School) which was closed down? lol.
Or perhaps he only spent a year or two at old RS and didn't have photos nor PSLE cert.
There are more men becoming dads at age 50 and above. By the time their kids are registering, they are already 56 or older. Not easy to trace back 40-year-old documents. -
[quote]Documents to Show Eligibility for Phase 2A(2)
Relevant documents certifying the status (e.g. staff or former student of the primary school) of the parent or the sibling and also the birth certificate of the sibling must be provided. These documents may include the school report book or Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) Certificate.[/quote]Photos are great for reminiscence of his days in primary school but absolutely useless in proving his eligibility for Phase 2A(2).
MOE is able to retrieve a copy of the PSLE certificate, just have to pay for it if the original copy is missing. Not difficult to figure out which year one sat for the exam, it's either at 12 years old (for Primary 6 pupils) or 14 years old (for Primary 8 extended pupils) - though I don't think Rosyth ever had the extended classes. -
OT: Not implying it’s the case for the above parent, but sometimes I do wonder if there’re ‘fraudsters’ in the alumni associations. I know of a parent whom no one had ever seen in school before or known to be within same graduating cohort (we know the parent’s age). Either the person changed name or had plastic surgery. And then there were foreigners who only spent a year in the school and still could join the association. It was not uncommon to transfer schools in the past due to urbanisation, resulting in mass relocations of city or rural dwellers…
OT2: I exposed a fraudster (an acquiantance of mine; same age) last year when I saw my alma mater being put as this person’s alma mater under FB profile. I posted a comment, "X, I’d never seen you in school before!" LOL. Later this fraudster quickly removed it from FB. -

Even if you study for a year in the school, as in the case of the foreigner example, you are technically still an alumni. Hence, not exactly a fraud.
As for no one had ever seen in school, etc... kinda hard to recall everyone from 30 years ago (I can't even recall all the names of my classmates, not to say schoolmates). If he / she is able to provide documentary proof, then it is legit. -
If it was a close-knit small cohort small campus not uncommon in the 60s-80s, then possible to recall and trace.
But when questioned teachers’ names, it was hems and haws. Anyway, heck, mind my own biz.
There were some ‘returnees’ (overseas chinese) who only spent a year or so in school during the 70s before migrating. Yeah, one year also counted as legit. -

If you are from Bin Kiang School (敏江学校), I’m sure you can remember everyone in school.If it was a close-knit small cohort small campus not uncommon in the 60s-80s, then possible to recall and trace.
...
For the rest, a school’s yearly cohort can be around 300 - 400 pupils (40 per class), it makes remembering everyone difficult, especially those who aren’t very outstanding or have outstanding characteristics. -
Did Rosyth primary ever merged with other primary school before, in the past ?
