Congrats to all 2014 PSLE pupils! You made it!
Thank you for all the support and the chance for me to help your child given by you parents.
A new Journey ahead! Have you selected your dream secondary school?
here are a couple of suggestions, Top being important.
1) Proximity - My Top Choice!
How I love my school is just opp my house across the road!
Sec Sch life is gonna to be very busy, distance travelled is very crucial for rest and the time used for extra revision. Academic study is actually about how much
time is invested with the
right strategy!
2) School Culture - very unstable
Some school cultures seems to be more positive than the rest, however, this depends on the school management and the team of teachers that lead them. Over the years how many positive schools were now history? No doubt "good" school seems better but their act of mischief escalate at different level e.g bullying will appear in the form of hooligan type in "bad" school, while cyber/political bullying in "better" school etc. of course there are bound to have black sheep and role model in every school or both type of bullying exist in every kind of schools, for some may want to choose "good" school for better job employment in future, however, perhaps we should focus on current issues first.
3) Favourite/Niche CCA/Courses
I used to have one student accepted by a "good" school because of his excellency in basketball, but within first year he could not catch up with school work and is asked to transfer.
4) Affiliate school
As your child maybe familiar with the school staff and peers, while sometimes changing of environment makes new skills, while thousands of the rest who did not go to affiliate school could do that, why not give it a shot? A new life, new begins! Moreover, a change of Leadership of the school may benefit more for your child because sometimes certain practices in school are cater for majority or specific group of pupils. Note: if the school just change new principal for 1-2 years, there are lots of unstableness, e.g teachers transferring in and out, may affect some classes involved because I had a student whose teacher kept changing almost every 2 months.
Nevertheless, whichever school you go, O'level is the same across the broad, most importantly is be happy and work hard!
