When I received the letter my heart sank and eyes reddened but I tried to control and hide my feeling as I do not want to put stress on my ds ...
Cheers up !!! Let's encourage our ds 加油!加油！加油！Hope our ds could score well for psle . All the best !

Ms Tay

:thankyou: Ms Tay for your encouragement too. I was out to get food for him. And my DS went to letter box to received his letter of rejection. He called me b4 opening. Thereafter, he jz said \" Didnt make it la, mum!\" I didnt get to see his expression. :stupid: I flew back without further delay to see if he is alright. He was jz lying on bed deep in thoughts. We had a good chat ...

It's too easy to over-generalize students in a school as being a certain way. Personally, if I want my dd to grow up to be filial, humble, ladylike etc, I would imbue in her these values myself. Home and family are still the most important building blocks for a child and teenager's values and moral standards. If I instill these values in her well, and continually encourage these behaviors, I have no fear of her being influenced too much by her peers because her foundation is strong. Similarly, I do not expect the school to be the one teaching her these values.

RGS and NYGH are both very good schools. I would choose a school based on what it is able to offer my dd in terms of academic curriculum, how comfortable my dd would feel in the environment, and the opportunities that would come with being from RI(JC) and HCI(JC).

:goodpost: Agreed with you fully, jtoh. I believe parents play a very important role in child's value & character though some character are really inborn. Sometime, my Ds will complain about his cousin being naughty. He likes to open shoe wardrobe & throw down all the shoes. However, his parents were ok with this action & did not score him. Simply ask the maid to pick up for him. In this case, how is the poor little boy going to know that his action is not right?

Thanks yukilei.

RGS does emphasize on excellence but it doesn't mean that in doing so they don't emphasize on character building as well. The P frequently reminds the girls to be humble, to give back to society, and that being number one isn't the be all and end all. She encourages the spirit of trying and doing your best. Recently, RGS did very well at the Schools Nationals and SYF. The P congratulated the winning teams but specially singled out the school's Malay Dance. The Malay Dance girls had scored a silver at SYF while the rest of the school's SYF teams had scored Gold with Honours or Gold. She singled them out for special mention because she was so proud of them for doing well, because of the effort they put in. More than half the girls in Malay Dance aren't Malay but they all danced their hearts out as a team. It was the same for the sports girls. It didn't matter if you won a medal or not. You were called on stage and acknowledged by the school and your peers for trying your best.[/quote]Hi jtoh, I agree with u 101%. I find the gals very proactive and have a lot of initiative too. :boogie:

This snail mail waiting is driving me and my ds crazy. I think I will have weak heart after the DSA thingy! :stompfeet:

I can fully understand! same here.

Didnt sleep well last night and cannot tahan anymore, so called RI this morning about not receiving the letter.

A very patient lady answered my enquiries, she said that letters will be send out in batches and by next Friday everyone should received theirs (WL, CO or Reject). I also enquired whether those received earlier are for GEP and above 80% only. She said NO and letters were sent out in batches, RANDOMLY. Hope she is not trying to console me.
I hv jz called too. they told me the same thing.
Very pai tong ...but must still hang on!

The P mentioned that around 225 places for DSA with 80% for GEP. This should worked out to be around 180 places. I think there must be more that 180 boys who scored above 80% for SA1 since there are more boys than girls in GEP. So does it mean that below 80% chances extremely slim?

Based on last few years records, any boys who scored below 80% and was offered CO/WL? Any parents care to share? Thanks.
