by the way unlike many other parents in this forum - my definition of scoring well is 75+ :-). Maybe that is not well at all -

My idea of doing well is 80 or there about. No need more. But this year, nothing is nearby! 1 low 70s and all others in the mid to high 60s. :slapshead:


Teachers in school don't seem to think its a problem. In fact during the PTM, the form teacher actually told me that many of the kids in class has slide more than 20 % pts. So nothing to be overly worry as it is a norm, they will pick up. Then looking at my boy's results she didn't think he did badly. But for us parents, wah!....it's a shock! :yikes:

So now I'm wondering if he'll ever pass his PSLE! :siao:

My ds was an average 75% in school. He had no problem getting past the SST DSA trials and getting a confirmed offer, altho’ he didn’t take it up.

I sure hope my boy will pick up next term. Keeping my fingers cross. :xedfingers:


By the way, SST have school bus service?

[kaka]

No school bus service at SST. I was looking high and low for one but realised that students as far from Pasir Ris all go by public transport. I am happy now that my boy is used to public transport (save $$) and more independent now.

Seems like the school has kids from all over Singapore.

Hi Kaka and Phankao,


Do you remember what was done in the "camp" after the selection test?

Hi Kaka and Phankao,

There were some written work including essays during the day camp. Plus Team activity (like how to go about building a bridge, etc using materials given), and some other group activities/games. They also had group interviews.

Do you know what they did during the interviews?


Kids these days have to grow up very fast! :scared:

The group members just sat together in a small group (circle?) with a teacher who asked them to answer one question one-by-one. Eg. did you apply for other schools, why you want to join SST, etc, all the standard questions.
