Anyone here knows when the PW result be out ?

I think it is together with A Level results. Early March.

MOE website says between 3-5 March, i think.

Except for the first day that he was feeling down because he misses his friends and sec school, my ds is adapting ok in MJC. Came back late for most of orientation days. Not used yet to the amount of time taken for his journey as he had been walking to and from school for the past ten years.

Dear Moderator


How about making this thread STICKY so that we don't need to search for it each time.

Thanks.

Yes please.

I'm reviving this thread for parents whose kids are in JC. Today's reporting day for the JAEs and the start of Orientation for the J1s. Let's share our experiences as our kids venture on another new education journey. In the meantime, my daughter's still fast asleep at home...

My ds was a little miserable on his 1st day. Most of his close friends were not with him and he felt alone amongst his new group of friends. He came home saying he missed his secondary school! But today, things seems better and he looks like he is trying to settle in. Hopefully he'll be happy and make many new friends.

Thank you zbear for starting this thread and jtoh for reviving it. Our children may be young adults now, but we are still kiasu parents and it is nice to be able to share issues or ask things we are unsure of here. Thank you.


As it is, i just now read about the transitlink concession pass. My ds too has been charged with adult farea and we thought maybe we'd wait and perhaps the school will advise them what to do. But if it can be extended at the atm machine, all the better. Will give it a try. Thank you CuteCuteMommy.

My ds chose MJ over possibly TJ (he got 7 net) because he does not want to be stressed he says. Does anyone know anything about MJ? I think it's an ok jc. I have no idea how jc life will be like nor am i very familiar with the points or how they calculate the exam results. As in everything else in my ds's school life, i learn as we go along. Which is why i appreciate this thread.

Thank you zeemimi and all and yes, thank you too fightingmom for the jc thread. Was looking for it too.

DS’s has two friends with 3 pointers. Both applied RI. One got in and the other didn’t. What other do they based on? CCA?

Thank you All for your replies and advice. I appreciate it very much. Come monday, another decision will have to be made and i hope the education institution that my son chooses will be the right environment for him.


All the very best of luck and success to all O level students!

It will be on 92.4 fm at 1430 hrs! Good luck to ALL students!

I am stressed and would appreciate some advice please. In what way can one tell one’s son to take his studies seriously? I have encouraged, pleaded, scolded my son but he seems to not be too concerned, even saying that he knows he has been lazy! He did ok in his first 2 years of sec school but since last year his grades have been falling. He spends too much times on computer games during holidays (i do not allow computer on school weekdays) and i can only control him when i am at home. When he does not get the computer he goes to his phone to watch videos. I am at a loss as what else to do to get him to take his studies seriously. I know he’s capable of doing well enough if he works hard, but he seems to not care. How else can i encourage him? Should i bring him to any motivational seminars? Are they any?
