Do parents need to report together to the secondary school on 20th?

Hello, adding on to fellow forummers' posts... iirc, the school did give a quick briefing (15min?) targeting parents. For instance: school hours, what to expect on the first day of school, orientation & start of lessons, selection tests (AEP, MEP, HMT), subjects taken in Sec 1, electronic gadget program, forms to be returned, Year Head contact... A more detailed session happens in the new school year.

My child handled his own uniforms, books & stationery purchases, administrative affairs; but to be there physically is a show of support for a new stage of their life.

Thanks a lot for the useful information.

Whether snowmummy thinks it's time to let go is her choice. She asked a genuine question about whether the school requires parents to be there and I think that deserves a relevant reply. Some parents need to apply for leave in advance if the school needs parents to be there.


Btw, I don't keep my ex-school uniform so need to buy 2nd hand from carousell. :evil:

Yes.
Preferably in your ex-school uniform as well :evil:

I am an older sister to a sister who just finished PSLE with 242+2.

Parents call her stupid to her face for wasting literally 6 years of money+time spent hovering around her everyday chauffeuring, doing homework, sleeping and teaching (my father works from home so it's possible).
They want her to go to Nan Hua just because it is \"1 mark higher\" than Crescent (both me and my sis choice).
I graduated from Nan Hua and I have a terrible personal experience. Even without it, Crescent is a much better school as it value-adds and is single gender, no need to tie plaits, better uniform.
Just by raising a different opinion, father hit me. He say unless I pay him $2,000 every month for my sister, then I get to decide her school lol.

I feel very sorry for what you and your sis had gone through. Please don’t be disheartened. Your dad may have a good intention, just didn’t express it in the right way.
Every school has its strength and weakness. Don’t share too much negative experience on nan hua with your sis. This may affect her impression and experience in future. If nan Hua is the school she goes to, please try to help her to adapt to the environment and has a smooth transition.
All the best to you and your sis!

DS received 3rd Language Option. He scored 251.


Just submitted choices :

1 ACSI O levels
2 SJI O levels
3 VS O levels

Did you choose any 3rd language? We gave up as DS is not keen. Feel a bit wasted...

Can someone explain what’s the difference between IP and IB programme? Thanks!

IP = Integrated Programme (a 6-year programme, students do not take O Level exams at year 4 except for HMTL and 3rd Language)

3 tracks of IP leading to different exams/ certification at the end of year 6:
- GCE 'A' Level
- IB Diploma
- NUSH Diploma

Please refer to the link for more details.
