Yes, teaching in St Nick can be a bit stressful, whether you are a Relief Teacher or a perm Teacher.


For the O-level track
=================

If based on PSLE entry,
outside external Non-affliated students entering SNGS (O-level track) are often armed with past COP Tscore like

253 (for PSLE 2019 batch, born 2007)

or

254 (for PSLE 2020 batch, born 2008).

(if Tscore wrong, can highlight. Thank you)


And after admission, most of our O-level girls are very hardworking, continued to maintain good, consistent results.


Example

In this year 2021 Sec 2 cohort (born 2007), in one of the classes, out of Total 38 students inside this class, 30 students scored A1 (75 & above), in our school's Termly Science (Sec 2) exam. Naturally, the Science Teacher in charge of teaching this class is very pleased, happy with her abundant bumper crop harvest. On that day when she announced this piece of good news to the entire Sec 2 class, she was smiling all the time. Who knows, maybe she getting promotion soon ?


So, if a Relief Teacher (main Teacher went on maternity leave to give birth), say, come in is a bit lazy, lazy to mark assignments piled up & her lazy pattern is repeated over quite some time observed, ie. our students' punctual submitted school work assignment seldom get marked and returned on time for them to revise for their Term tests (exam), some students will feedback to their parents. Then, parents will discuss about this teacher's behavior, inside the Parents' class chat group set up. If majority of the students-cum-parents not happy, will highlight this to VP. When next new Term come, this Teacher may be gone. Come in, another fresh new face Teacher.


You need two hands to clap.
Just as St Nick O-level track students are prepared to work hard, so do they expect their subject Teachers to be of a certain, minimum teaching standard quality, too. Not those lazy bump, come to school just to pass time, shake leg, collect MOE salary $, that type !


Maybe this type of lazy attitude teachers happen, exist in other Secondary schools too. And is being tolerated in other schools because their students or parents just closed one eye, don't bother. But over here in St Nick, some students disliked their assignments submitted left un-marked for quite some time, will notice. After all, they have done their part diligently and submitted their school homework on time. Moreover, Sec 2 is an important streaming exercise year.

Hi parents, can I check if the science syllabus is the same for IP kids? Also, would you all be able to share the shoes requirements for st nic’s girls? Thanks!

I suppose you mean between mainstream and IP.
And I also suppose
IP= academics + aptitude
Main stream= academics

Since science is under academic, and ultimately both IP and mainstream have the same syllabus for A level exam, science syllabus should be the same for both as far as preparation for A level is concern?

Maybe before A level, IP and main stream have slightly different milestone measurement (syllabus) : IP no O level/common exam; mainstream has that

[JGMum]

Yes, ultimately both IP and mainstream have the same academic syllabus for A level exam.

For schools with dual-track, I think the IP and OP academic syllabus for Year 1 and Year 2 should be the same to facilitate any transfer between the IP/OP tracks at Year 3. E.g. some OP students can transfer to IP at Year 3 if their results are good, if they want to and if they pass the interview. I know that the IP and OP syllabus as far as academics is concerned is the same in CHS, I believe that it should be the same in SNGS?
In IP schools with no dual track, the academic syllabus might be different, and students might be taught science and maths topics that are usually covered in Sec 3 and Sec 4 syllabus in OP track schools. To clarify, this does not mean that IP programme in schools with no dual track is "accelerated" compared to that in dual track IP schools. This just means that the sequence of topics being taught does not have to follow the usual OP sequence, and there is flexibility to teach Sec 3/4 topics in Year 1/2, and Sec 1/2 topics later.

IP SNGS and OP SNGS is a bit different, as I have seen their test/exam papers.

Though by the end of Sec 2, both should be the same. “Should” because I did not compare all the papers against a topic content page to determine if every topic has been covered at one time or another before the end of Sec 2.

Both IP and OP in sngs do more than the regular OP by sec 2. They cover some upper sec topics in lower sec. Info correct as of a few years ago.
