The school holidays are here once again. It’s time to hit the great outdoors for our kids to experience some fresh air and special activities. Camping by the beach is one of them. Sharing some tried and tested tips on Camping. I am no expert in camping, but thought I would just share some tips from years of experience in camping during the school holidays or over long weekends with our two boys.
 
Tent
 
Always buy a tent that is much bigger than the number of family members you have. Eg, do not buy a 4-men tent just because there are only 4 of you in the family. Buy a tent that is so-called at least 2 size bigger.
 

I have gone through the PSLE twice and am done with it for the rest of my life. Thought it would be good to share my experience of choosing a Secondary School for my boys with first time PSLE parents, hopefully to help to relieve some headache when the time comes for choosing a Secondary School for your child. 

This is a follow-up of the PSLE COPs thread that I started in the forum.  I have compiled the official COPs from the MOE for both 2009 and 2010 Secondary 1 intake.

Please note that all figures are for the Express Steam only and for Non-Affiliation Intake.   All COPs include  HMT bonus points.  Those schools with an * behind the COPs means that they only took in their own afflilated pupils from the Primary School for the Seconday 1 intake.

Not sure if the figure for ACS Independent is the IB COP or the O level route.  I simply copied from the MOE's website.   I am not very familiar with ACS Independent's system, so regret to say that I won't be able to answer anything relating to the COP for ACS Independent.  I am just doing my bit to compile a list to make it easier for parents to compare the COP for 2009 and 2010.  I seek your understanding in this matter.
