I just need to rant...

Now that PSLE is over, my child is bored out of his brains at school. They’re not allowed to bring any games to school - no card games, no board games (even blokus or chess...) nothing!

They can only read books or chat softly in class. The only time they’re allowed out is during 30 min recess.

What’s happening??

And here I was telling him to study hard for psle and he can play after that. Back in the day the teachers will just screen movies in the school hall and we can either choose to watch or sit in our own groups to chit chat and do our own things.

Driving past another school (two days in a row) I see the children engaged in tally matches and rollerblading lessons.

So I really wonder, which school is more “normal” in today’s world.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I think post psle activities are up to schools to decide. Beside bringing the p6 students to outdoor activities, my son's school allows them to bring card games (Uno, donkey cards, crab cards etc), board games (Risk, monopoly etc) to school to play daily. The only thing that was banned is poker cards, which is the right thing to do. I think they had an enjoyable time at school. Now, the school has also stopped all PE sessions, if they are restricted to only reading and soft chat, it is really boring for them at school.

On the S1 option completion, first looks like we need to choose the course first before proceed to fill up 6 options, eg Express (for both IP and O lvl).. qn is if ABC school offers both IP and O lvl and the kid would like to try for both, need to take up 2 options for same school ? or got separate column to state IP or O or not? what happen for schools with affiliation, as affiliation only for O but not IP, if choose IP as first option, will lose affiliation benefits or not arh ?

IP & Olevels track of the same sch will take up 2 slots. (Page 2)

Will not lose the affliation benefit if IP of affliated sch first choice and its Olevels track 2nd choice. (Pg6)

It's better to rely on fact. . Refer to Page 6 Point (e) of the S1-posting 2020 booklet. It stated and illustrated with examples.

Anyone has news of SJI DSA?

Just received sms from River Valley High for DSA Talent Trial on 16 July

Thanks for sharing.
We got the SMS notification too for an earlier date (9 July) that's for SI.

Good luck! SI = scientific investigation? Interesting topic...

My Son scored 2B and 2C. Honestly I am worried for him that he might not even be able to scrape into the express stream, nor be selected for his DSA choice of schools. Anyone can also enlighten me if he scored this for SA1, is it a good gauge for his PSLE scores? Also, will this also narrow down his chance for DSA?

SA1 result may be a gauge of PSLE but there is still time to work harder, learn from mistakes and be focused. We all should continue to strive till the finishing line is crossed. Let's all jia you!

For my son’s school, they printed out a list of CCA activities and achievement from P1 to P6. Parents have to sign on the list after going through it. This list will be submitted for DSA as school-based CCA activities.

Nothing happened bah. Still a very high standard school!
