Hi, may I ask when the laptop is needed? Do we have to get one before school starts? TIA

Not stated, but was given the laptop specification so we can shop around before the start of its official school. Will try to source out a few models for her to check with the senior or teachers during the induction days before purchasing.

Ok, will do the same for DD. :thankyou:

Hi, we bought one yday for my DS who is in Yr 1 too. Bought acer brand, cos is 14 inch screen, so heavier compare to 12-13 inch.

Hi Taurus, how heavy is yr Acer 14 inch? As I am trying to look out for a light one with weight less than 3 kg as my girl will take public transport to the school together with the weight of the school bag, try to keep her load below 6 kg...

Hi, Im asking for a friend whose DD is very keen in learning music yet she doesnt have any past experience, except for being in the guzheng ensemble since p2. Has been learning music theory online for free since psle is over. I wanted to ask if she stands a chance in MEP? As I heard MEP is only for the elites... She has a passion for music and really enjoys it but unfortunately her family can't afford to get her any teachers for new instruments as the cost of lessons nowadays are $150+/mth. :gloomy: She wants to audition with her guzheng, but she hasnt been to any lessons other then school practises, no tests certs either... how? Wait till Sec 3 to join EMP in CCHSM? Or just focus on Third Language for now and wait till grown up?

There’s a pdf that is very helpful, found it on goggle. College Spirit & Discipline - Temasek Junior College. Sorry I cant seem to attach it here…

Hi, just asking for a friend, are there any Grade 1 piano lessons that cost less than $100/mth? I’ve heard about Christofori charging $200/3mths but dont know if its true…

My friend’s daughter is 12yo, just finished PSLE, do you think it’ll be too late to start piano lessons at this age?

[quote=\"Alchemist\"]Wps2003....if she has CO..pls relax and enjoy. She only needs to make the cut off for Express stream which is around 200. The way your dd sounded she will definitely do way way better than that. She is guaranteed a place. My friend's son got CO for TJ a couple of years back....the cutoff was 255 then. He scored much lower for PSLE but he is s happy TJC student now. That is the beauty of a CO



Ok :thankyou:

I seem to recall your daughter got CO for TJC from another forum. In that case it should not matter, no? Maybe I am mistaken....but remember a very mature young child using this id.


All the best to her and you....all will be revealed in slightly more than a month. I also find myself having these thoughts and concerns but try and tell myself, nothing can be done about it now. So just enjoy the 'break'...

We received the 2016 Sec 1 posting bookletoday DD aiming for TJC thou she is not very confident with her PSLE papers. She usually get 2A* and 2 high As but after PSLE she claims that she would at most get only 4 high As... how? Her best subject is Math but she said it'll probably be the subject with the lowest mark since she was so careless :gloomy: She usually get close to full marks at around 97-98 any chance of bellcurve for Maths being lowered? :xedfingers:

Yes she received CO for TJC but is there still a COP?
