veryscared,If your DC is to select among the top schools, every parents will let him decide.
What if your DC wanted to go to a very normal secondary school (because of friends or whatever reasons), will the parents still \"respect\" his choice?
What I have read so far, is as good as what our minister said: ALL SCHOOLS ARE GOOD SCHOOL, but who buys that?
Sorry if anyone feels offended, but this is real.
Thank you ano perspective. Yes, we will hv to sit and work it out with DC to prioritize and choose wisely. No easy task in decision making & role as wise parent counsellor. -

Some parents actually do it. Kudos to them. :salute: I think one can only tell if they face such situation bcoz it's easy to make hypothetical assumptions but not easy to actually face it.If your DC is to select among the top schools, every parents will let him decide.

He said All schools are GOOD. He didn't say all schools are EQUAL otherwise the whole PSLE cut off wouldn't be in place.

Asking for a Friend.
Anyone heard from catholic high O level -
Dear parents… regardless of the outcome of the DSA results, let’s all put our efforts and time towards our DC… i think right now, they are more worried about the upcoming PSLE exams… a rejected offer/ waiting list offer should not demoralise them and we should be there to help and support them…
If we behave too anxious for our DC’s DSA outcome, and if is not a very happy result, they may feel it’s their fault… and then it will make them feel more unhappy and less motivated…
Let’s just keep our fingers cross and spend more time wisely with the kiddos… Long weekend soon! -

I'm with you100% on this. We need to focus on the main PSLE & model right spirit. Chin up! -

In past years : there were 2 different type of Waitlists : WL1 and WL2.Winnie08:
NYGH WL has track record of converting to CO. A WL there is as good as a CO.
Those in WL1, are ranked highly, as good as a CO.
WL2 : not certain
Is this still the case now? -
Was there any RGS rejections yesterday? Is NYGH out?
Hang in there parents, waited so long , so just 1 more day… I think maybe out today because tomorrow is teachers day celebration? -
Estéema:
I can vouch for this. My neighbour's sons went to different schools as well.Different boys, different strokes.

My DH was in SJI and he said there is a tea reception being set up now. He wonders if this is for DSA and texted me. But I told him results not out yet according to KSP. :? :scratchhead:
nope. nothing yet. i just keep refreshing my email and KSparents forum hoping for updates!ilovemacarons:
Anyone heard from SJI yet? Certainly very late this year, which is strange since there was much fewer applicants.
