Hi Pecalis


Have you submit your daughter choice of school?

Hi Ksfaith,
No, not yet. I'll bring dd down to the 3 schools tmw - NYGH (just to let her hear for herself - almost no chance), NJC (prob 1st choice - since she still wants to try IP) and SCGS (2nd choice - strongly encouraged by 2 friends as her Eng is her forte)

Will submit tmw nite.

Which is a better option tanjong katong secondary school vs tanjong katong girls school

Many yrs ago (my time), TKGS was way more superior (ah em). But now, looking at COP alone, TK Sec looks slightly better but again, it depends on the culture of the sch you'e looking for and the nature of your child, whether you prefer all girls or co-ed...

Personally I prefer co-ed for Pri and all girls/boys for sec sch. Some people discourage all girls for the first 10yrs, as there's some adjustment needed in JC or Poly.

If the pupil psle t-score is higher than the school COP, does it mean it should be no problem for appealing?


Any example of appealing failed but the pupil t-score is higher than the school COP?

Its good to let her have a feel of the school, who knows she may stand a chance or she see things in a different light after tomorrow.

He did not take higher MT in primary school. Good point about the affiliated JC. Will most likely put Fairfield as 3rd choice. Thanks a lot for your input!

that's what i am thinking and have posted on previous page for her

ssll:

[quote=\"Maths Hub\"]What about Nanyang Girls' High School [IP]?

yes u should not miss NYGS with yr grades

Augmum:

since u prefer yr DD to go yo a all girls' sch and she wants to try IP,
why not include NYGH as yr 2 nd choice
(though NYGH last yr COP is 263, with yr DD's score of 262 is worth a try)
and yr choice of NJC goes to 3rd,
in this way, even if she does not qualify for RGS or NYGH, she still have her NJC.
(must add....provided NJC COP does not exceed 260 this yr, but u have a buffer of 3 points to play about )

[/quote]Thank you all for your suggestion.

The reason why we did not include NYGH is because it did not seem to make any sense to put it as 2nd choice since the COP is higher and my DD is -1 point off last year's COP.

Does it make sense? :idea: :?:
