School starts at 7.30am.

Yeah, I can’t view the link too.

How did the 2016 Sec 4 cohort fare for their GCE O Level? Can someone share the L1B5 mean score and the passing rate, please?

Thanks.

Oh My Gosh:

peachbubble， the answer to your question is Yes. Cos this is what happens to those Sports students who DSA but is unable to meet the IP pace. They will then fall back to O level track. So end of day, still depends on the discretion of MOE/ school.

Thanks!

Oh My Gosh:

Checking with parents who may have experiences... if fren DD is given CO for \"O\" level in St Nicks, is there a chance that she can convert to IP if she did well academically in her PSLE?

According to Moe official over phone call today, below is her reply.
(You may call up moe yourself at tel 68722220, to clarify too)

In October (24) this year -
There is a date to submit dsa reply back to Moe : whether to accept or reject the DSA offer

Once your friend Dd accept the 4 year O level DSA offer in October, even if in Nov her psle results are better, can meet the cut off point for IP, qualify her to goto IP program, she is not allowed to, because already accepted the DSA offer. Your friend Dd will still have to go to that Secondary school which she had accepted the offer, and study there for next 4 years, until she finish her O level exam.

Moe official said that even if after she enter the dual track school (eg : chij st Nicholas girls sec) -
Even if your friend Dd were to do very well at end of sec 2, want to transfer to IP program within the same Secondary school, it is also not allowed, because she had already signed the DSA offer. You need to honour the commitment

Hence, do consider seriously the consequences, if you or friend are only half hearted, in accepting the dsa offer. Once you sign to accept the offer, you are signing your commitment, for the next 4 years to O level, even if her psle results in nov turn out to be much better, than expected.

Do not any how sign the dsa offer, if u only half hearted, or you have strong conviction that she is going to do well in her forthcoming psle.

Or, if your friend's daughter is currently an existing chij St Nick primary school student, if she have confidence to achieve minimum T-score 230 for this year batch, she can go back to her affliated Secondary school, for O level. From her past 3 years report card SA2 results in P4, P5, P6 : one can tell whether she has been able to meet minimum T-score 230 consistently, or not.

Now only Sep, it is still sometime to 24 Oct. You may also call up Chij St Nicholas Girls Secondary school Admission Officer, confirm with officer : whether the school's reply is the same as the one given here according to the Moe official. Telephone of St Nick Secondary school section : 6354-1839

What if the child is offered DSA for IP in a dual track school but unable to keep up with the IP pace. Will the child be able to switch to O level track?

Giggler1:

My dd was affected with her Prelim results. To make things worse, I just got to know that if you get <20 marks for either Eng or Maths, you got to retake PSLE. :nailbite:

I am doubtful of this because I know of someone whose child did badly for PSLE. The child failed all subjects for PSLE and all along, didn't manage to get beyond 2 digits for all Math tests (Foundation Math). This child is happily settled in Northlight and didn't have to retake PSLE.
