I heard positive feedback about BPGHS. If you stay in West esp. Choa Chu Kang, this is one of the most preferred school. But they offer only Chinese / Malay languages at their school. If your child is taking any other languages, he needs to choose nearby language centres.

Bukit Panjang Govt High School was in the news when one of its students became a President's Scholar in 2016.

The school seems strong in its Sciences. If the awards won are mainly due to school resources (and students' hard work), the achievements are really remarkable.

Another plus point would be affiliation to CJC, can minus 2 points (if that is any consolation). Since CJC is not a popular JC. But well, better than none?
Not trying to offend anyone (seriously).

If you need 2 points bonus to qualify for CJC, you must think and consider carefully whether the JC route is even suitable for you.

One more thing to consider for SJI is that if he does well at the end of Sec 2, he could be offered the IB track from Sec 3 onwards.

I hear many people say (for dual track schools) that this is one attractive point to enter O level track in these schools.

But in reality, parents need to be aware that the chances of being selected are very very slim. Like need to top the class, sit for selection test, also need teacher's recommendation. Heard one case teacher recommended against. :stompfeet:

Similar to NA candidates trying to transfer to Express stream.

It's a very tiny glimmer of hope only.

If happy with current posting, just stick with it.

However slim the chance, there is still a chance (compared to zero chance for schools who offered O level track only). My friend’s son was in SJI O level track and got offered IB after Sec 2.

Of course that said, this should probably not be the ONLY factor one uses to decide on the choice of school. But if you like the SJI program, the culture, CCAs, etc, having this possibility to switch to IB at Sec 3 is really a plus point to consider.[/quote]Not every student is suited for IB course. Should go for the path that leverages on one's strengths.

SJI vs Swiss cottage:
Parents, need advise. My son met COP for SJI o level (non-affiliation) (247), but still not shortlisted and allotted to Swiss cottage. Now I am in a dilemma whether to appeal or not.

I see many benefits being in Swiss cottage like proximity to home, literally no fees, more subjects offered compared to SJI etc., SJI is independent school (where I need to pay some fees), 40 mins travel time etc., I understand, in terms of outcomes for O-level, both schools produce similar results.

Is still SJI better than swiss cottage? What are the advantages of being in SJI?

If it’s purely for O level, I’ll stick to Swiss cottage sec sch. Reason being that both schools will lead to the same outcome. One thing to note is that Swiss cottage is coed and SJI is a boys school. So you need to also ask yourself whether your son will thrive in which environment. Personally I prefer a coed school.

SJI -> They have their Innomakers program. Not sure whether that program is for o-level as well. Call and check with them. 2nd, check no. of CCAs offered. SJI has more variety than swiss cottage. But it depends on your son's interest. Also, the Swiss cottage is one of the pilot schools for full SBB, so in a class, you may have a mix of Express & N-level students for some subjects. Other than that, I don't personally see a big difference between Swiss cottage & SJI.
