I find the inner motivation is the most difficult aspect in a sense . There is a huge amount of kids non RI / HCL / NUSH that are somehow perhaps not quite ready for study. How do we explore inner motivation ? Is there any website or books that you can recommend ? Some of these young ones are not matured enough .šŸ¤”
You can go to Amazon webpage and search, using the phrase ā€œhow to motivate studentsā€ or something similar. You will see reviews, summaries of those books that match your criteria. When any book interest you, you can
1) order from Amazon, but long waiting time for it to be delivered
2), search our NLB website with the title you found on Amazon. If NLB carry it too, you can borrow there.
3) Another way is to search Kinokuniya Singapore webpage and go down to the store and buy it, if available

Hi any parents whose child get into HCI or RI?

How many tuition do your child have? When did you start preparing at P1 or K1?
Instead of asking how many tuition, why not focusing on cultivation of positive reading habits and the exploration of inner motivation? These foundational elements will serve the child well in the long run.
Other than working hard to achieve good AL grades, you may consider exploring DSA route.

My children all studied in neighbourhood primary school. And went on to a non IP SAP secondary school. During primary school, tuition for English and Chinese. No tuition in Secondary school.

I think ā€œeliteā€ is an over dramatised word. Elite would mean a group of people that are superior over the rest of the society. There are many students in RI/HCI failing their tests, just like many other schools. They may do better on average academically. or higher % from more well off family (I am not well off. And by higher %, it is still not more than 50%. Very significant number of these students are still our HDB dwellers). And all of them follow the same rules like us. Study for the same exams like the rest of us. Itā€™s not like what we see on TV drama where the ā€œeliteā€ are superior people.
Thank you for your sharing.

We often read about the successes of RI/HCI. I am not denying there is a concentration of top talent (as in successful by the usual metrics, and high IQ) in top schools. But we also often forget that there is a proportion of students in RI/HCI also failing their tests - and there are also casualties for the final A levels. Please don't take it as a given that being in a top school is an assurance of strong final results. In the same way, there are students in Poly, in non-top JCs who eventually do very well for the final exams. It isn't deterministic.

In a way, I am very heartened to see that education in Singapore remains as a 'social leveller' for lack of a better or a more appropriate terms. I think in almost every school in Singapore, there is still a sizable proportion of HDB dwellers. (Though of course, some schools have a more affluent student profile than others.)

If you only want RI / HCI via PSLE, then make sure your kid from P1 to P6, consistently gets AL1 for all 4 subjects. Most Singaporean kids might have problem getting AL1 for Chinese. If your kid scores AL5 points, quite sure can get in to RI. If AL6 points, likely will need balloting, then depends on luck. Only around top 3% of the cohort make it to RI/HCI? So have to work very hard for it.

Hi any parents whose child get into HCI or RI?

I have children in both of these institutions. We all know there are students with lots of tuitions but still perform average academically. Others can go to top school without tuitions. Itā€™s really case by case and no one size fit all. Understand the child, work toward the childā€™s strength, accept/mitigate the childā€™s weakness. Itā€™s may sound cliche, just try the best and see where it lead the child to. Remember to factor in enough rest and leisure too. It is during sleep when what we learn in the day get etch deeper into our mind. Our minister of education says good mental health is the important foundation where the rest of our learning is built upon.

Listen to your child too, especially when they are older. My children qualified for these 2 institutions after PSLE but we opted for O level instead. After O level they decided themselves this time they want to take up the challenge and they enrolled into these 2 schools. It is more sustainable if the child is motivated too.

I have been telling others I donā€™t thinking getting into top school would mean job is done for life. There is still a long road ahead where we will face my challenges in life. Not getting into top school would not mean setback. I am sure all of us see many people around us leading quality life even when they are not from top schools. I have heard burn out lawyers switch to bakery; or throw the law certificate toward parents after completing law degree and move on to do the things he really likes instead of practicing law
just bcos the parents want him to. I think it is ok to aspire to top schools so long it does not cost you an arm or leg, because in the grand scale of life, it may not be worthwhile.

My suggestion is donā€™t be pre occupied with academic matters too early for the child. Childhood is important too.

Does anyone know for schools with affiliated primary school, how many vacancies available for non affiliate applicants?
20% per posting group. To check how many in absolute numbers, either ask at the secondary schoolā€™s open house (in April-May), or email the principal/general office email directly (any time).

**This year being PSLE + S1 posting for Dragon babies, not sure whether the secondary schools will increase their vacancies accordingly. If so, not sure whether the COPs will fluctuate accordingly.

Any veteran ksp knows of Dragon year trend for COPs (up or down, or no change?) in the past few 12-year cycles?

If your child gets AL15, he will be in Posting Group 3 (PG3). He will not be entitled to enter PG1 or PG2.

Hence he will have to choose a school with previous cut-off-point (COP) of AL15 or >AL15. Not this school.[/quote]
Thank you so much!

Hello all! Newbie here. Could someone kindly explain to me what would happen if my child gets AL15 which is higher than PG1 but lower than PG2? Does that mean that he might not be able to get into the school?

My perspective is for parents/students choosing these schools purely based on their low COP, thinking if its low itā€™s must have attracted many academically strong students and therefore good. I believe there are many make decision this way.

Sorry if I cause any confusion. My comments are not on Fairfield secondary. Itā€™s on secondary school with affiliated primary school in general, that their low COP may be due to very limited vacancies available for S1 posting and not due to high demand from academically strong students
Not to worry

Why ?

Because

P6 (Parents and students) are fully aware that if a Secondary school afficated to a primary school is GOOD,

OR

If the Secondary school is affliated to a GOOD Junior College,

then,

they will NOT think the same way that you are thinking of. In other words, your way of thinking -

does not apply to these \"Good\" Secondary schools.

Why ?

Because

Parents can't wait to enrol their children, into such schools. We, the affliated P6 (parents + students), from these schools, don't bother about the PSLE Cut off point. Instead, what do we deem (regard / consider) as important?

It is the TRADITIONAL values, their roots and the school culture, that these good Secondary schools offer and impart to our students. That's why many LOVE to be graduates from these schools and subsequently become alumni members, in these schools.

Evidence ?

Every one of this school named below, has got VERY VERY STRONG, SUPPORTIVE ALUMNI Network.

That's why every year, during Primary 1 registration time, so many parents with K2 kindergarten children aged 6 years old, can't wait to enrol their kids into these popular, hot schools. These schools are in great demand !


Example(s) of such Good Secondary schools include :-
=======================

1) Catholic High (SAP school)

2) Maris Stella High (SAP school)

3) Singapore Chinese Girls' Secondary
(Independent school)

4) CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Secondary
(SAP school)

5) Methodist Girls' Secondary, affliated to ACJC, for the O-level track students.

6) Fairfield Methodist Secondary (co-ed), affliated to Anglo-Chinese Junior College.


7) Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' Secondary, also affliated to A-level Anglo-Chinese Junior College.


šŸ˜Ž the O-level track students studying inside ACSI (that is, Anglo Chinese Secondary school, INDEPENDENT) -

are also affliated to their A-level Anglo-Chinese Junior College.

But of course,
if after sitting for their O-level, these post Sec 4 ACSI graduates prefer to study \"IB\" curriculum, instead of A-level, they can also pursue \"IB\".
