A message from a parent
We are aware that Ms Perumbuli has completely rejected our claims. We also note that, no evidence has been provided to support her claims. In the interest of transparency and fairness, we would like to ask Ms Perumbuli several specific questions regarding the Junior Prefect selection process for the year 2025:
1. Selection Criteria and Points Scheme:
Please publish the selection criteria and the points scheme used for the 2025 Junior Prefect appointments.
2. Interview Scores:
Please release the points earned by all candidates who participated in the first-round interviews.
3. Appeal Round Scores:
For those who were called in for the appeal, please disclose both their first-round scores and the scores awarded during the appeal.
4. Expansion of Prefect Positions:
Name the people who made the decision to increase the number of prefects midway through the selection process? What were the reasons for this change?
5. Ratio of Prefects to Students:
What is the percentage of Junior Prefects appointed this year relative to the total number of students in Grade 5?
6. Sponsorship of Badges:
During the said meeting, parents were asked whether they would like to sponsor prefect badges. Kindly provide the names of the parents or well-wishers who contributed, along with the amounts donated.
7. Attendance Requirement:
The original instructions stated that students with less than 80% attendance in Year 4 would not be called for interviews. Then how did some students who did not meet this criterion and were not interviewed in the first round end up being appointed as prefects during the second round? Are you aware of any students who didn’t apply without 80% attendance as your instructions clearly mentioned so. Are you providing those students with another round of appeals?
Each year, the Junior Prefect selection process faces allegations of corruption and favoritism—some of which, in our view, are entirely legitimate and justified.
On a lighter note, have you ever considered awarding a badge to every student who applies in the first round? This might prevent future legal disputes, as seen in previous years. Alternatively, one could argue that appointing more prefects results in greater contributions towards the investiture ceremony—catering, lighting, decorations, and other expenses—which may please certain individuals in the administration.
We acknowledge your right to remain silent. However, as stakeholders who care about the integrity of Royal College, we believe the school must operate in a transparent and accountable manner. Therefore, what we respectfully request from you and the principal is nothing less than the truth—the absolute truth.
