Choose Secondary school for 2010

Hi CrazyDad,


Some secondary schools that are affliated to JCs offer bonus points for existing students applying to their affliated JC. For eg., MGS and ACS are affliated to ACJC. Hence, students from MGS, ACS(I) and ACS(B) will get 2 bonus points off their 'O' Level results when they apply for ACJC.

thanks Turquoise, this make a lot of sense to choose a school with affliated JC.

Guess the only thing we can do now is pray.

My girl scored 238 in her PSLE. Any suggestions for a good sec school around Ang Mo Kio? Is Anderson Sec within reach?

Anderson last year COP 248. You can try Zhonghua at Serangoon COP 238. They have AEP and science progamme. Open house this coming SAT.

Thanks for your suggestion. Ya, I also heard that her dream school is out of reach. Do you or anybody else know of anymore other good schools with COP near to 238 in Ang Mo Kio vicinity?

My son scored 241. Need advice for a good sec school in Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh areas. Is it unwise to try Anderson COP 248? Am also looking at St Andrew’s and Maris Stella cos they offer interesting CCAs, but was concern about the travelling time which is approx 25 mins by bus. Is that far for sec students?

25 min is not long... also these schools have affinated Junior College. Affination is impt sometimes if O level result is average.

Hi parents, would like to hear your views on my niece's case. She scored only 163 for her psle and now my sis and I are in a dilemma - to try to put her in some neighbourhood schools in Normal Acad stream or try Paya Lebar Med or CHIJ SJC but in Normal Technical stream? Which option would be better?


Appreciate your advice.
