@melting_starz we received email to attend SST camp on 17 Aug. Will let DS decide what he wants to do for the show n tell segment. All the best for your kid on 3 Aug!

thanks man

books are never enough at home...scattered around the house. hahahah its quite messy actually.


maybe some of you will have similar experiences:
Every morning, the first thing I see my boy doing before sending him to school is:
reading at the sofa.
(our helper will wake him up 20 mins before I wake up so that he can change and eat his breakfast)

It's a similar daily situation in our house as well, except for the helper part since we don't have one. 😅 My kid reads from \"dawn till dusk\", especially on weekends/PHs/school-holidays, until I nag at him to wash up and go to bed. 🙄 And we have to order new books regularly since our public libraries can't seem to support his reading needs, which is kind of disappointing. 😏

As for testing, I did consider sending him for WISC-V before he turned 6, but gave up on that idea after reading up about MOE's rules and requirements, and how rigid they seemed to be. I decided to re-channel that ~1-2+K of testing fees to support his passion (books, etc.) instead. 😋
BTW, I received the set of books that I mentioned were meant for the UK's 11+ exams, and my son is quite hyped up about trying them out after browing thru them. Such a geek! 😅

I must get hold of the books soon.
Sch holiday coming soon. Hahahhaha[/quote]😂😂😂🙃
My son prefers to do his home assessment/workbooks once or twice a week on weekends during the school term, then ramp up to include a few weekdays as well during his school holidays 😉 This is his sort of enjoyment 😅

Any instances of schools making offers of a different domain from the one applied? Eg apply under leadership but offered academic instead?

I have heard from a friend that her DS applied for DSA Music to Cat High, and the school counter offered him a CO in Humanities because the school said that they can see his potential not just in Music alone. And the principal also assured the parents that DS would still be able to attend MEP after joining the school because he has already demonstrated his suitability during the DSA audition. This was back when the school didn't have Humanities on their DSA list yet, and the child is currently in Year 4. Not sure how widespread this sort of practice is though.
