    @In Thank you. Sadly, we still haven’t heard anything from them. I thought it would be done by Sep 04, as they said on their website.

    Came across this Singapore Education Pathways website recently and I think it is quite useful for parents. Most of the information is already available from MOE, but it is usually scattered across different websites, PDFs and forum discussions. This site puts things together in one place and makes it more relevant to your own child. You can enter your child’s PSLE score or current grades and see which secondary schools, poly courses, JCs or ITE courses may be realistic. I also like the feature that works backwards from a target course and shows the grades your child would need. The subject combination planner may also be helpful for Sec 2 students, since subject choices can affect future options. Of course, I would still verify important information with MOE or the school, as cut-off points can change every year. Some features are also paid. Overall, I see it as a useful planning tool for parents and children to discuss their options, rather than something that should make the final decision for them.

    As a parent of a student currently in Whitley, I have to say that putting Whitley as a choice for their PSLE was one of the BIGGEST mistakes ever!!! Parents, if you want your child to grow up in a toxic environment during their formative years and become a selfish, mean prude, send your child here!! Firstly, their school has NO budget whatsoever! The school is dirty, unhygenic and the food is so greasy. The programmes that the school provide are USELESS! Their ALP programme is a WASTE OF TIME, and further stunts your child! The teachers are bad and do not know how to teach for the life of them. These “teachers” threatened to withhold O-Level results. Really unacceptable. Parents, this is the worser version of Assumption English School! If your child has an AL score adjacent to whitley like 21, might as well go to G2 stream in Peirce Secondary,Pei Hwa Secondary or even Beatty Secondary! These schools all have better facilities and a better environment, compared to the bitter, bullyish culture in Whitley. Secondly, I mean this with the purest of intentions, and I want to prevent more students from experiencing the hellish Whitley culture. Whitley has fostered such a bully culture. The teachers refuse to act on anything and are so INCOMPETENT! Now, these “Whitleyans” feel that it is appropriate to shame others and bully them. I am also not alone in this sentiment; many other parents and past students also feel this way. Just one gander at the school and you can immediately deduce this. Fellow parents, please do NOT send your child here!!! Better send your child to the other alternatives that I listed.

    @sunnys Direct answer Student A (AL 9) would be considered first for the school, even if Student B (AL 10) put the school as their first choice. Academic merit (PSLE score) is the primary criterion for posting. The order of choices only comes into play if students have the same PSLE score and are vying for the last available vacancy. In that tie scenario, the school’s vacancy would be allocated using tie-breakers, which include the choice order among other criteria Ministry of Education Singapore. How the posting rules apply here The first criterion is PSLE score (AL in your example). A’s AL 9 is better than B’s AL 10, so A has priority for vacancies in that school. The “choice order” matters only when PSLE scores are equal and both students are contending for the same last vacancy. If scores are unequal, the higher-scoring student gets the vacancy, regardless of which choice they listed first Ministry of Education Singapore. Tie-breakers are only invoked if two or more students have the same PSLE score for the same last vacancy. In that case, factors like the order of school choices among tied candidates come into play as part of the tie-breakers More here: https://www.askvaiser.com/share/Ghz70nzZ72Z4V_bjBfga9GTK0U7M5g2l

    Hi all, my DD received 9(D) for PSLE. We are considering between Cedar Girls’ and Nan Chiau for her second choice. They are about the same distance away. We would like to know more about the programmes the schools offer and subject combinations offered to the students. TIA
