      Remain in school.

      Thank you

      That means this student, applied for exemption in P2, but only managed to gain MOE approval Chinese exemption in P3, is allowed to remain inside St Nick, continue study all the way until PSLE is over.

      However, this pupil cannot use her \"Affliation\" status to gain back entry into St Nick (Secondary school) anymore later when she reach P6, because recalled Principal ever said before that

      \"Mother Tongue exempted students, cannot come back into SNGS Secondary, because St Nick Secondary is a SAP school \"



      This situation, is a bit different from CHIJ Toa Payoh (Secondary), because

      students exempted from Chinese in CHIJ Toa Payoh (primary school), can still use their \"Affliation\" status, to go back to CHIJ Toa Payoh (Secondary), a Non-SAP Sec school. This is the key difference, between

      a (SAP vs Non-SAP ) Secondary school

      Cannot use affiliation to go back, but can use PSLE to go back. I think your bold line is not entirely correct.

        My above statement is entirely correct, because


        Once exempted from Chinese (Mother tongue),

        student (whether by PSLE Tscore or thru Affliation status) cannot study in SNGS Secondary. Reason being, ours is a SAP school.

        The SAP school apply to ALL students inside the school, regardless of whether they enter by Affliation, or by Tscore


        In a SAP school, during Sec (1 to 4), throughout these 4 years of Sec education, the barest minimum -
        Compulsory for student to take Standard Chinese, even if pupil do not take Higher Chinese

          Other than SNGS JIP students must take HCL, there isn’t a rule that students inside SAP school must take CL or HCL if they are exempted from it. Hence, it’s possible to qualify for SNGS OP even if you have been exempted from CL.

            For OP students exempted from Chinese, they can consider some other Secondary schools instead, unless ...

            exempted students are prepared to take back Standard Chinese (O-level), give up their exemption status in Sec school


            Once enter into St Nick Secondary, it is compulsory, to take up Chinese in our SAP school. This is our school rule

              The only exception being for JIP where HCL is offered as a standard. SNGS FAQ made that clear (and no mention of compulsory Chinese because that would not be enforceable).

                      Hi

                      May I know if SNGS allocates teachers evenly, or do they allocate most of the hods and better teachers to the top classes? From the school website, it appears to be the former. Any idea?

                        When my daughter was there, the HODs were assigned to top and mixed classes.
