Hi,


May I know what are the key differences and factors to consider between scgs and rgs?

Hi @cypress _tree any particular reason G3 ?

About 70% of the cohort qualified for G3, IMHO it’s demoralising for the kid to go G2. Starting sec school in G3 gives the kid a chance to start afresh and work hard. And lateral transfers are not as easy as it sounds

With FSBB, students will no longer be grouped into form classes by their posting groups. And posting groups will not define students school experiences and future pathways. It will be about students’ performance in each subject :

I too have the same question as oOskyblueOo.

For this set of results

English - 5
Maths - 6
Mother Tongue - 5
Science - 5

If accepted into PG3, all 4 subjects will be taken at G3 level?

If accepted into PG2, Math has to be taken at G2 level
and the other 3 subjects have to option to be taken at G3 level? So the only difference is on the Math subject between PG3 and PG2?

With fsbb, a child in G1/G2 will be part of a mixed form class (majority G3 students). It will be easier for them to form friendships across streams.

ok, gotten my gal’s result and her result surprises us with AL6… and what is more surprising is after recent chat with my sil, now my gal is open for girl school but still no for SAP school. that alone helps a lot and have more options now, not restricted to Co-ed. With her result she could even apply RGS since the cut-off point for RGS is 6, We will have Cedar girl (IP) as 2nd choice and Cedar Girl (O-lvl) as 3rd choice. make sense? she is ok with either school…

Thanks.

any reason you didnt aim for IP as 1st choice?

[alixph]

ASCI is DS dream school. He tried for the DSA but unfortunately not successful. So now have another chance again, definately will give a try.

ACSI IP cop is 7. I don’t think it will go to 8. So will not waste his chance. So will try for ACSI OL.

Some numbers from Singstat,


Enrolment In Government And Government-Aided Primary Schools By Level And Age:
2015 P1 40,063 - P6 in 2020
2016 P1 38,904 - P6 in 2021
2017 P1 36,885 - P6 in 2022 (tiger year)
2018 P1 37,671 - P6 in 2023

Top schools COP did not change much last year, hence (guessing) they will not change much this year, assuming DSA numbers have not changed much.

Congrats! always the case, kids change their minds.

2nd choice will catch her well if not balloted into RGS. so quite safe.
