dear kiasuparents please advise me on this issue


Is it right for a school to charge students $4 for a graduating ezlink card that is customised with their particulars? there was no notice about and no permission was sought from the students whether they can print their particulars on the card

back story:
as an annual gift, the school alumni circle will customise ezlink card for graduating j2s but as a "GIFT", the students had to pay $4 for it when they were not even given notice about it or whether the students even wanted it. PLUS even if it is for a donation for the school alumni circle, fundraising should have been done through methods including two voluntary parties and not like this. it seemed like extortion of money as the students were just forced and demanded to pay for an ugly card that they did not want

should i pursue this further? i have already emailed the school two weeks ago but they were reluctant and did not give me ANY explanation and even wanted me to single out the child.

do advise me on this as i find this simply ridiculous especially when the school kept avoiding and did not give me an explanation on this

thank you

ps its a JC school in the west

Sorry to learn about your plight. I agree that the sch should allow the students option to reject. However, as it isn't very pricey, I won't mind if my DS is forced to accept. Perhaps the alumni was very confident that they would get full support from these fellow alumni-to-be and hence that decision.
If it's too taxing to get a reply from the sch, treat it as one foodcourt meal forgone and forget about it. Cheer up!!

haha, I agree that we should have a parent networking group! My mum formed a clique herself with her colleagues while I was entering to JC!

Juz Mum:

May I know what's the difference between taking GP and KI?

And the pros and cons.
Any advice please?

More students take GP compared to KI.

KI mainly taken by students in the arts stream or students who are very good at writing.

Hi Isetan, there doesnt seem to be such a website...seems like the JCs usually keep the statistics secret...

Ok thanks for the reply.

To the J2s who have just finished their As - have you started about thinking what you want to pursue for your university education? Also, the next 6 - 7 months or so might be a good time for you to burnish the CCA part of your CV, especially if you are considering competitive courses like medicine, law, dentistry etc. University admissions officers would want to see what else you offer other than straight As in your transcripts.
