My girl have not been called up for the interview, so I guessed she was not good enough.

I do have a girl in XinMin Sec and let me share with you why I highly recommended to my girl when it was time for her choice.


It is not near a shopping mall. In fact there is ban to be shopping in school uniform.

The school has a strict discipline. (my girl was late for school for 5 mins and got retention for 3hrs for first timer … she is no long late for school)

My girl tells me what attracted her was a games (X-box and Wii) room for the best behave class.

If I have seen this earlier, I would have recommended you to go to their homecoming (funfair) which is better than open house.

I share as a parent for P6 girl, don’t push your decision, encourage and plant ideas, let your girl decide.

Cut off point is about ±240.

They have very strong SYF performance (for DSA opportunity)… check out the SYF results website.

Just my humble thoughts.

have a look at learning palette at Kovan blk 203, they have speech and drama and english creative writing class.

Just to confirm HMT is the same as CL1?

I believe there is a lot in books that we can learn from … like this book. There are lots of inspirations that I can draw upon, and a lot of times … not so much on the technique but just giving the tired soul the lift.


Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Meg Meeker

Any one has any idea what is the cut off T-score for the top 10% … my daughter got 249.

I have not send my children to I can read program, but have heard a lot from people. So far all positive. However, I believe programs like these should just be the kick start. Once the child is able to read on his/her own, you should spend the time in reading than attending lessons.


I recall my teething steps to get my 5yr old girl to read, it was a painful and long drawn 9 months. But her rewards, she loves reading and discovered her joy in reading. There are still moments that she might need help as she progress to more difficult books. Be There.

A lot of schools offer Chinese Dance as an option, the easiest way google these key words "chinese dance syf gold secondary" you get the results, those with Gold and Gold with honours are usually the ones that offer this option.
