PSLE results day

I was back at LPS to share the joys of the many P6s as they waited anxiously for the moment of truth when they got their results. Kudos to the staff who worked so hard alongside with the students and this batch created history in being one of the best in terms of quality passes and of course producing one of the top students in Singapore. Yes, we have someone who scored above 275 with 4 stars. This goes to show that govt neighbourhood schools ARE, HAVE BEEN and WILL ALWAYS produce top students.

For the vast majority of graduating LPS students, seeing so many of you moving up to secondary schools is something that is not easy to achieve. Indeed, 6 years of primary education has sailed by and now you are about to embark on a whole new chapter in your life in just about 6 - 7 weeks. No matter what your PSLE score is, 1 thing is certain: it is permanent and nothing you can do will change it. So for those of you who felt you did not do so well, what i advise you is to look ahead. With the score in hand, see where you are able to enroll by looking at the websites of varous schools which depict the minimum score. Disappointed you may be but remember one thing: this is just a small setback. The journey continues when you begin secondary school. Never give up or say you are useless or have negative thoughts. Face up to your achievement or setbacks by working towards bringing your achievements to a higher level or learning from your mistakes respectively.

To all P6s in LPS: congrats and all the best in your new journey that is to come in 2008.
