Thanks for this, emoh! Perhaps I should clarify. DS will be in p4 next year and we are likely to move mid-end year I’m just about to start searching for schools in the east for him but wanted to get a feel of how these schools are faring.. can’t seem to find their t scores on any sites

As a matter of policy, MOE has deliberately stopped revealing Tscores of schools and top students. They want you to believe every school is a good school.[/quote]

Just a reminder that you need to submit the school choices by 3pm today (Tuesday, 1 December 2020).


All the best!

Hi, I am deciding the sequence of choice

- catholic high O level - 1 point below cop

- nanhua - 2 points above cop

Travelling distance about the same, both are SAP.

Anyone can share ur view?

Take Catholic High (O-level) better, because
at end of Sec 2 year-end streaming, you still have a second chance to go IP, if u desire.

if your son does well at end of Sec 2 and son is keen in IP, Principal will invite your son to do IP starting Sec 3 IP to join Eunoia JC

This EJC has improved rapidly so fast !

Years ago, when EJC first started off and occupied Mount Sinai temporary premises, not many students want to join IP (CHS / SCGS / St Nick) back then, because many students said \"brand new JC, no track record ...\"

But today Y2020, look what happen ?

Eunoia JC admission intake -
Is the same for Science & Arts, as the other two : Victoria JC and National JC

In other words,
As far as L1R5 is concerned,

Eunoia Junior College is on par, with Victoria Junior College & National Junior College, for A-level admission, both (Science & Arts) stream

EJC has done exceedingly well, to come thus far !


Cut off point (L1R5) for

a)

Eunoia JC (Science ) = Victoria JC (Science) = National JC (Science), all at 7 points

b)

EJC (Arts) = VJC (Arts) = NJC (Arts), all at 8 points

In other words, 2 years later, at end of Sec 2 streaming, if u do well and decide to go straight up to A-level, bypass take O level National exam, u still have the last chance to do so.

Anyway, 7 points (Science stream), not easy to get, at O-level. So might as well grab the chance and go , if by then Principal give you the chance to go IP, at end of Sec 2

If you choose Nan Hua,
if u want this type of opportunity at end of Sec 2, also don't have


Eunoia JC

I have same thought as you. But DS still wants to put nanhua first...

:scratchhead: Wondering if anyone knows the T score for St Stephens, Temasek and Tanjong Katong... we are moving to the east and have to choose a school for DS and I’m totally clueless :scratchhead:

MOE's school information service will have this information. You can search by school name or other criteria. They just don't rank schools now.

sunny, there might be reasons why your boy wants to put Nanhua in his first choice:
1) He really likes Nanhua
2) His good friends going to Nanhua
3) He is not so keen to go to EJC, he aims other JCs upon O level.

So after all analysis and advice to your boy, let him make final decision on the first choice as he shall be happy in the school chosen.

While I understand the current trends for parents to allow more say from the child, parents will also need to understand that below the ages of 16, children are hardly able to comprehend the cause and effect of their actions.

I supposed the balance approach is the talk to them, listen to their reason first. The school workshop i attended on parenting teenagers: when they are in primary school, parent are the commanders. When they are teenagers, our role should become the coach- guide them in the right direction; instead of telling them what to do. Allow them the chance to learn and prepare them for young adulthood

[passioninlearning]

Yes, that’s what I was trying to say.
