How u feel when u received the sms ? Feel excited or more or less expected the school posting ?

My girl was posted to her choice of school (1st choice). She selected the school based on her PSLE result and hence, expected to get into her 1st choice of school.

hi Janet,

can share some key points, how to guide Secondary school children, from handling 4 to 9 subjects this huge, big jump ? Thank you.

the first 2-3 months can be overwhelming because of the adjustment.
it's advisable to find a CCA which doesn't demand too many days staying back after school as it will zap up the energy to revise and get homework done. then there is this WhatsApp group among students which will distract the kids from studying.
most importantly, listen in class and do not hesitate to ask the teacher if there is anything not understood. secondary school teachers treat sec 1 students as young adults. if need to, ask the teacher for a few minutes after school to clarify.
SBQ (short based questions) is something new to learn for history and geography.
hope this helps.

Don't have to worry to much about the kids handling 4 to 8/9 subjects. For lower secondary, there are only additional 2 or 3 subjects ie Geo, History and XX (depending on schools). 3 days will be taken up by CCA and 3rd lang (2+1). There will be projects, meetings, group work, research, consultations .... on non-CCA days. Generally, the kids will be dismissed btwn 6-7pm. SBQ is Source Based Questions. By the end of Sec 1, the kids will generally familiarise with it.

I just read the news , this year no morning call from MOE ? We can only get the posting result at 9am ? My flight at this hour so bad...

I think MOE every year said 9am. But, SMS came very early.

My girl is in Sec 1 RVHS this year. Last year, the SMS came as early as 5am (mine ....6.13am)

Official answer was out for the ribbon qn. Check it out at Yahoo.com.sg
