I was feeling chilled during this school holiday until the eve of the results day when most of my friends started to show their support in our watsapp group. It was all triggered from good intentions but they resulted in BIG butterflies in my tummy ... on the results day, it was nerve-wreaking as we waited for the time to pass from 8am....
We reached school at about 11am and the school Principal (Mr Gao) gave a long speech about the school's vision and values... etc, etc.. and finally talked about how this year's cohort has fared. Generally, improvement from last year's results, and notably, big improvement in distinction rate for Higher Chinese.
Suddenly, Mr Gao announced the students who scored 250 and above so all of us could give our applause to these kids who have done well.. and I was elated that he was included in the list !
Whilst he did well to achieve his distinction in Higher Chinese, his overall aggregate fell short of the cut-off points for his dream school... we spoke to him and he was well aware of the situation and accepted that we will try out another school which is equally focused in Bilingualism. We told him that he has done well and deserved a pat on his back! (although the journey this year was tough)
Fingers crossed - hope that he gets into the choices we have put up in our selection list!
Update on 22 Dec : Caden was posted to Dunman High - and I'm happy that he made it there based on his own credits although we missed out on the DSA opportunity.
