shouldn’t throw away all the assessment books, textbooks, practice papers, etc after PSLE.
they’re very valuable, precious to others who need them (costs $ to buy), esp. to P4 and P5 kids, next in line sitting for PSLE. give to needy students. -

Hi Blur Dad,
We did. Give others a chance mah. No point holding on to so many when our minds are already set on RI.keroppi:
[quote=\"Blur Dad\"]Not sure any parent or student has actually inform ACSI that they want to reject their CO?
How about other schools? Has any parent or student inform those schools that they have awarded CO/WL that they are not going to take up the offer?
Cheers
For your info, my ds will put RI as his first choice so certainly, his CO from HCI will be definitely free up to the next WL in line .. afterall HCI didn't ask us to reply them so soon, so even if we write to them I don't think they will do anything till they consolidate again when students with CO/WL reply on 24/10 about their choice...So hope my little info helps..[/quote]I think so too. So far, only ACSI and NYGH (?) have requested parents to inform them if they are giving up their COs which means that they will do something to convert WL to CO for others. But for other schools with no such instructions, I doubt if they have plans to do the same, otherwise they would have instructed parents liao.
Anyway, we did not appy ACSI and have not decided yet lah. -

NTUC collects textbooks for the needy every year. Maybe you can consider donating to them.
This article is outdated but will give you an idea of what NTUC does with the textbooks.

May I know any parent whose DS is on WL from HCI receive email to attend Parents’ Symposium on 22/10?
-
I wrote an email to SOTA to give up DD's CO but was told to do so by not putting SOTA as our choice when submitting the form online on 24 Oct.
My personal opinion is that schools which have already given letters with COs to the kids are not likely to risk giving away these places to those on WL, in case there is a change of mind. That is, to inform those on WL in black and white that theirs is now a confirmed offer based on the number of students with CO who have indicated that they are giving up their places.
In NYGH, even though the Principal encouraged those who want to give up their offer to write in, I don't think anyone on WL has her WL converted to a CO. However, the Principal did inform those on WL that as long as they put NYGH as first choice, they are very likely to get in via DSA. I suppose the Principal can say that as she knew roughly how many girls are likely to reject the COs.
So I suppose by informing the school(s) of your intention to reject the CO(s), at best, helps the school management to better manage the expectation of those on WL, but not likely to result in actual conversion of CO to WL, prior to the exercise period.Blur Dad:

Hi keroppi
Thank you for replying to this post and thank you for being considerate. I thought my post/questions are being ignored.
May I know which school’s CO did you rejected?
Anyone else reject their COs? Especially those with two, three or four COs.
Come on guys, do something please.
I guess who cares about DSA now. More are interested in the post PSLE activities.....[/quote]
