Possibly NJC, but that's co-ed and they do not offer SBGE. The other alternative is SCGS which also offers SBGE.

Erm, but NJC curriculum is it's own SBGE programme already. There are students in last year's batch who couldn't cope and actually left in year 2 for MGS instead. It does have accelerated programmes on top of it's usual curriculum, but the students have to be identified for those.

NJC probably has its in-house programme but it's not an SBGE (in that it's not recognized as an SBGE by MOE.)

I was calculating my DS's ranking in Singapore... Just to confirm that Top 10% of the cohort are being offered 3rd category in the third Language or are they offered third language?

:udaman:

Top 10% only if they are offered French/Jap/German. Everyone is offered Cat 1 & 2 of third language, provided they did MT in PSLE.

On Cedar and SCGS


Academically, they are both on par. Perhaps, one should decide base on ccas, distance and school fees. In the area on academic, Cedar has maintained its consistency thru many years . Generally, its girls are well-behaved, intelligent and hard working. My son takes notice of these positive traits(JC). School is pretty strong in atheletics.

SCGS seems to have brighten up lately base on their last yr O-LEVEL results. Is amongst the tops nationwide in english, literature and maths. Generally the girls hve a high command of english. Due to their exposure to different styles of writing, its girls hve performed well both in A-level and IB. Its niche ccas are dance, squash and gymnastic.

So btw these two schools, is a very close call.

If yr dd likes SCGS, can place the school as top choice and prepares her for appeal. Make sure yr second choice is marginally below her T-score.

my girl does ballet grade 5 and squash , but her t score 247 , cop for scgs is 251, risky to put as 1st choice and appeal?

Just a note that dance at SCGS is of a very high standard. Just Grade 5 alone isn't enough. You have to have very good performing abilities and some of the girls by Sec One are already en pointe. The girls also do more than ballet - tap, chinese dance and jazz are de rigeur. In any case, they've already taken in their dancers during DSA.

That neighbor that I talked about also wants to choos RVH like me. Her T-score like I said is only 247 including HCL. We stay around the east side. She and I don’t mind the journey. May I ask what are her chances of getting into that school. Btw I got 253 and I think I stand a chance of getting into RVH unless I’m wrong.

RVH this year cut off point is around 251.


cheers
