Thank you K-Mum. Can you share the profile of students that these school look for for Leadership DSA? My DD is Chairman of her CCA and Exco prefect lead for School Welfare. Done community services and volunteer at several charities. But some no certs given. Wondering if these are enough?

Err, I do not really know since I do not know the profiles of others that got in.
My DD’s profile quite similar - Student Council EXCO member, leadership position in a uniform group and other stuff.
My view (may not be true) is that the profile is only used to shortlist the candidates for interview. Performance in the interview is prob the most important criteria for selection cos I presume most of those they shortlist hv quite similar profiles.
Leadership assessment is more holistic, unlike sports or academic where u gets medals, certs and rankings.

Not necessary. My DD dsa’ed via leadership to HCI even though she was not Head Prefect.

Hi

My DD is taking the dual degree program but she would be based in the Le Harve campus.
Is yours also based in Le Harve?

Hi XueYan

Firstly, don’t stress yourself by expecting your child to score 80-90 in P1. Some kids are slow learners and may blossom in later years.
Secondly, from my own experience with 2 boys, I find that they tend to be more playful n not interested in studies when young.
I could spend 5 hours trying to get my ds2 to learn 5 Chinese sentences in primary school.
His maths n English were also weak n he was not interested in reading at all.
But I realize the greatest problem with him was a general lack of passion for anything.
But I learn to let live and was prepared for him to fail his pale.
He managed to scrape through to express, went to a neighborhood school n found a passion in NCC.
He surpassed our expectations as well as his teachers to get into a ploy course of his choice.
He is now very passionate in what he is learning and is very active in the church ministry.
So, continue to have faith in your child n be patient.
It may take many years.

Hi,

I urgently need help. Bought my uniform yesterday but skirt is too long... What should I do?

For my DD, what she did is to roll up the top of the skirt a few rounds. Not very obvious when u don't tuck in the blouse too far.
Don't cost anything and no seam lines if u lower it as she grows taller later.
She went through one year n seems fine.

Hi,


Need advice from students/ parents. My dd is targetting Crescent Girls for DSA this year. I've the following questions :

* Does anyone has experience with Band DSA?
* What is Crescent Girls school hours like? What time does it start?
* From the bus stop at Alexandra road, how long does it take to reach the school?
* I heard there is a bus from Dhoby Ghaut to Crescent girls and it only takes 15 mins? Is that true?

Hi MMM
My DD is in sec1 and we stay near Hougang/Serangoon North area. Distance to School was also one of our major consideration for short listing of sec schools so Crescent was initially not on our radar although I have heard that it is a good school and very IT savvy. However, after she got her results, we gave it serious thought and decided to put it as 1st choice.
School assembly starts at 7.20am (I think) but my DD insist on reaching school by 7am. I drive her to school and it takes around 25 mins via CTE, Orchard area to Tanglin. She takes public transport home and she has CCA twice a week ending 6pm. No complaints from her as she very happy there.
There are two buses from orchard mrt area, depending on which bus stop u go to - 132 and 111 ply along Tanglin rd and stop right outside the school. From north, shd be faster route than taking MRT all the way to redhill.

Can anyone advise on the cca schedules for track-n-field and badminton? My DD said the cca days are on mon, tues n thurs until 6pm. Just wondering how come they don’t hv it on alternate days for sports cca eg mon, wed, fri or tues, thurs, sat.

Having problems juggling her cca schedules with her other activities eg msp, tuition etc

Dear parents
