Hi, anyone know


1) what books or things to bring on the 2 January 2013 (first day of school) and what time must the student be in school ?

2) The school gave out the letter to the parent today stated that 2013 Secondary 1 student Orientation Program on the 2nd January 2013 (Wednesday) start from 1.30-3.30 pm and on the 3rd January 2013 (Thursday) from 2.30-4.30 pm. Does that mean they do not have class in the morning ?

Thanks

OK just to check in case I've read the info wrongly since I've been so \"clouded\" lately.


Cut off date and time for school selection is 28 November 3PM. Correct??

Yes tomorrow by 3 pm All the best !

Bonnie:

How does the MOE computer selection work? it mean that my chance gets slimmer as it goes down the 6 choices. Meaning if I select a school X and put 3rd choice, my chance is reduced cos School X is someone else's first choice?


Does it work that way? Would appreciate some kind soul advice as that would affect the ranking of my choices

Thanks

This is really a ' trying ' issue. Summary from the fruitful discussions and with reference to the moe gray book. Basically 2 steps in the selection process as follows:-

Step One - The computer will select the T score of all students on a descending order basis - from the highest T score to the lowest T score.

Step Two - After step one, the computer will next move on to select the schools on based on the T score selected regardless of the choices made.

Using Bonnie's example, assuming the T score for both is 230. If the COP for school X is 230 and is your child's 3rd choice as oppose to someone with the same score but is his 1st choice. The chances for both are equal. To quote MOE - It is still merit before choice.

Of more concern is the number of places allotted for the sec 1 cohort and whether the sec school concerned has an affiliated primary school. Naturally, many of the students will proceed to move on to the sec school with a preferred ( lower ) T score thus reducing the number of places for the sec 1 cohort in the school for other non affiliated schools, thus limiting your chances. Cos I stand corrected.

Good luck !

Consider a scenario : A scored 235 and choose ABC School as 3rd choice. Another child, B has a similar score as A but put ABC School as 1st choice. Assuming A failed to secure a place both in 1st and 2nd choice school and now left with 3rd choice. Which child would have priority to be placed first at ABC school or the chances will be the same based on merits of their scores ? Tks

Hi, Fat Ma Ma & michyms,


In the case, I do it myself (which cost about S$40-50)and put down in writing that she will have to foot the passport bill herself if she doesn’t complete the 2 years with me, what is the amount that I have to put in writing? S$50/- or s$400.00 ?

on top of that, do I have to add all the compensation on airfare and 2 week pay and so on…

I am sure, she will also know if I do it myself it will only cost S$40-50 !

Frankly, she is very resourceful, and she ask around and know her right !

She told me she will continue to work for two years at the moment, but all the things she said, I felt is very unpreditable ! I only taking my chance. may be all she want is to get her passport renew first and work for you a few month and she can change her mind again… later ? only she know …

Lynn2010 & michyms,

Tks for all the advices. yup, think i will pay her the Garuda fair as she requested.

Another thing, I will like to check with you all regarding d maid passport expire. who should pay the fee ? Understand that if you ask the agent to do it for you, you have to pay a sum of s$400.00 (Indonesian passport) plus another s$100 for work permit fee !

It is ok for me to renew for her and pay for her to get her passport renew if she continue to work for me another 2 full years contract period. But how if one month down the road after we get her passport renew, she said she want to change employer and want to go back home blah, blah, blah, ?

Anyone encounter such a problem ?

My son is currectly in British Council. He has been in BC for almost 3 years. He enjoyed the lesson very much. But after 3 years in BC, though he improved on writing skill and comprehension skill, but Vocabulary is still very week. He will be taking his PSLE next year, I am thinking of putting him in Mind Strecher. Any one send your child to mindstretcher for English. Need feedback. Thanks
