I’m wondering how much do you give to your kid in Sec 1? This is for school morning recess, lunch, and something for afternoon when there is CCA. Is $5/day too much? Do you still give extra for ‘monthly spending money’?

Hello paz, i've not thought on which school to target as my son is not the intelligent type. I'll just go along when the result is out. I am getting him to practise on past year papers too. Good luck to your child:D

If you can get a tutor and just focus on Sgp type Maths topics which are different from what your son has been used to, and the English composition (200-300 words),that would be give you and him a better chance. I could not find any tutoring centers that would give dedicated classes (crash course type), and there are some private tutors who may be able to spend time with your kid.

MOE has said that returning PR are not discriminated against the rest of the kids doing PSLE, so Good Luck!

Hi happies, I am in same situation, and had called MOE to ask for past year exam questions. This is apparently not available and bookshops do not sell them. The MOE website shows the syallbus which th kid must know, which is essentially the PSLE type syllabus, and also the SPERS format which is slightly different from PSLE. So, I think, no choice, have to study PSLE past year exam questions. Have you thot abt which school/zone to target for?

:?:

Anybody has kids or feedback about this school? From the website, they dont seem to have many special awards, but becos they only have Express and Normal Academic Streams, somehow, feels like a better neighbourhood school with higher stds... am I wrong? help me out folks!!

I also wan to send my daugther to Sgp for Sec 1 in 2010. Does anyone know how to 'map' the Msia school results to Sgp PSLE equivalent? She's from a premier Chinese language school in JB and though not in top class, but top 30% of school, and speaks v good English, I think. We have no T-score, no talented sports/music, so how do we get started?
