OMG, i dunno if im too late or what BUT u SHOULD REALLY PUT HOLY INNOCENTS HIGH SCHOOL AS UR FIRST CHOICE! HIHS has really good teachers compared to other schools with around the same cut off point. My friend is in that school, at that time the cut off point was 222 and he got 232. He went to HIHS and told me it was a good school, now hes sec 3. He said that the papers from other schools around the same cuf off points is NOTHING compared to the papers in HIHS. Hihs has good teachers, is systematic and practically awesome. But u just have to make sure u disipline yourself from going into Hougang Mall EVERYDAY after school. Not so good company there cuz of the ST. Gab’s students, hougang sec students and other schools’ students there! Good Luck Hop you made the right choice if im too late!:D


EDIT: PLUSSS theres a afiiliation to CJC Catholic Junior College. Whihc is a rather good JC.

Hi Jacz,


I went to both school today. DD prefers Beatty than Mayflower. Beatty looks new and big and Mayflower very run down.

Any idea how is the student in Beatty?? Thanks a lot for your help :lol:

Go for Beatty then.
They achieved band 6 for last yr's O level whereas Mayflower is in band 7.

As for students, since Beatty has been very consistent in their academic performance, the school must have been very successful in the discipline of the students. I believe they perform well due to good discipline...that's just my view.

hi, my daughter got 253 in her PSLE. She got A*s in Maths, Science and English, A in MT. She has always been good in Maths and Science and is now considering MGS, SCGS and Cedar. Wd be grateful for inputs on the following:

>> Which of these three schools should she choose and why? Pls rank MGS, SCGS and Cedar on overall academic strength
>> Rank them on academic strength in Maths and Science
>> Do you know whether if she does well in school, whether she can get into the IP programmes of these schools in Sec 3 (2013)
>> Which of these schools has a wide mix of races?

thanks!

All three schools are equally good.

COP for 2009: SCGS 251, MGS 250, Cedar 246.

The IP programme will not be applicable to your dd in SCGS and MGS as they will only be implemented to later batches of Sec 1s. At Cedar, about 50 students will be selected to join the IP at Sec 3.

I'm not too familiar with Cedar but both SCGS and MGS offer SBGE programmes. At MGS, there are two classes in the Sophia Blackmore program which caters to high ability students. Your child will be accepted into this if she passes a test. At SCGS, the top 2-3 classes will enjoy the Talent Program. With your dd's score, she will likely be in one of the top 3 classes.

School fees: MGS and SCGS are independent schools so their fees are $200+. Cedar is a govt school so regular fees apply.

In terms of racial mix, I can't comment because I don't have the statistics.

Which school to put first? I would attend the Open Houses to gauge the feel of the school, whether my child feels comfortable in that environment, whether the CCAs appeal to her etc.

regarding racial mix, cedar has a very good mix of chinese, malay and indian girls. my dd's close group of friends consist of indians, malay and chinese.

you should consider the distance also.

My dd score 248 with merit for hml, if she choose cedar, i heard from friend that they take in her score as 248 (cannot add 2 points for HML)

if she choose CHIJ ST nicholas, MOE will take in her score as 248 + 2 (HML) as st nick is a sap school. but for cedar girl they cannot take in HML,
so she change for getting into cedar girl will only 70pct. (cedar cut off is 246) please advise we should put cedar or st nick (cut off 247) as first choice.
Thanks

Dear all, advise please. My child psle result is 223. So far this is what we have on the list:


Chung Cheng (Yishun) cop: 230, mean: 235, median: 233
Gan Eng Seng, cop: 222, mean: 228, median: 227
Mayflower, cop: 222, mean: 225, median: 225
Hua Yi, cop: 221, mean: 225, median: 225
Bowen, cop: 221, mean: 226, median: 225
Peirce, cop: 208, mean: 213, median: 212

Her cca is international dance and she is from River Valley Primary. Is the list too aggressive or good strategy. Worst outcome we are hoping she is going to Gan Eng Seng.

Advise please, pretty please to this confused mother-daughter.

HI my child is also from river valley.... He scored 230 trying to get to ang mo kio sec...Mind telling me your daughter's name? ( Sry , my son has been presurrizing me to post this question)

Appeal can be done now. However, result will only be known after s1 posting results. In yr dd's case, school will conduct a trial either dance or squash depending on their needs.

Understand yr deliema as u can only place Cedar, St. Nicks or SCGS as 1st choice. That makes yr 2nd choice critical hence my suggestion to place Crescent as yr no 2.

ok if scgs cop is not within my DD tscore, i drop that and place Cedar 1st, St Nicks 2nd , does it make sense for 247 and 249 include HMT
