ANY TIPS TO TRANSFERTO ANOTHER SEC SCHL*SOS*

[PSLE2010]

Great! I didn’t know I can check the exam topics.

I live at North but I have lubong so transport isn’t an issue. I am looking at Xin Ming, Anderson, St Nic, Angelican (affi to St Andrew), TKGS…etc. Any suggestions? TQ!TQ!

Just my thought.

You mentioned that your gal's psle is at the scored tail end of Express result, but the schools you are targeting are good schools with very high COP and some at in the East!

I am wondering whether you will be stressing your gal? Although you have lubong with transport, you should not forget that sec school students always need to stay back in school till late evening.

Imagine your gal waking up early in the morning, spend almost whole day in school, reach home about 7pm, bath and dinner and by the time she can starts doing her homework, it will be almost 9pm-10pm.

Is it really worth it ?

koguma, Yes, you have the point. I have this in my mind. That’s why I have told her to aim at top3 in the class. She is already in the best class.

I will monitor her progress. Meanwhile, I am making plans to research the level of schools based on her mid-year actual performance. If she isn’t performing well, then there is pointless to transfer.

mummyjoyce, my job requires me to s/by 24/7, so I have a regular taxi especially in early mornings like 430am. The taxi driver is like our uncle already.

As mentioned by others, these are good schools. Call them directly to find out how they consider the transfer cases. For example, which month are they conducting the entrance test, etc...

I believe there are many other good schools in the north. Actually all teachers are trained in NIE. Doesn't mean neighbourhood schools have lousy teachers. I'm a teacher myself. I usually find neighourhood school teachers more committed. A bad experience with one or two teachers in the school does not mean that all the teachers are like that. If your daughter is coping well in her current school, you may want to consider letting her continue. A change in environment may not necessary be better. In fact, I think it is easier for motivated ordinary student to excel in a neighourhood school where they will get more attention from her teachers.

Big foot, You are right! I find the neighborhood teachers are very dedicated. My concerns are the peers’ influence - they already started dating. They would go shopping, movie after school. Of course, I gal said ‘thx! no thx!’. In return, they commented my gal’s life is boring and pittiful. How would you feel if you were me?

Dating in secondary schools? No big deal.
It is very common nowadays.

It happened everywhere, even in elite schools.

that is good opportunity as a teaching point - don't be pressured by peer pressure, why conform ? be yourself and do what is right for her age : study hard and be happy

yeah nothing wrong with dating. it’s very rampant in my school too. just as long as you do not go overboard.


it’s quite pointless to transfer school just because of peer influence… since they are everywhere. maybe you should let your child learn how to cope with these.
