DS Singaporean AL7M, first choice HCI, 2nd ACSI, posted to 3rd choice of RVHS.

Worry is over, now is time to book slot for books and uniform purchase. Need to report to school on 10 Jan 22 with full RVHS uniform.

Anyone know if RV has shoes rules?

My son is RVHS sec 2. There is no strict shoes rule. Mainly white color is ok. Brand logo like Adidas,Nike, if not too big or colourful, no issues so far.

RV placed at the third choice is a strong safety net, so no harm trying for NYGH and NJC in the first two choices.

Thank you for the advice!!

Dear parents, gurus.
Please give any opinion for my girl. :?: :?: :?:

My girl Is PR with 7(M) and NYGH, NJC, RVHS are her top 3 choice.

I also think for NYGH she has high chance for balloting.
As ‘PR’ student who has lower priority may not be seated with only 7M(NYGH’s COP).
Also for NJC(cop 7), same situation may happen.

Then my concern is that RVHS(COP9) is on her 3rd choice order.
But there might be many 7D,7M citizen student and even PRs who put RVHS as 1st or 2nd choice.
Even worse, some 5,6 pointers already secured the seats in RVHS.
So she will lose all 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice school????

This might be the extreme assumption but I cannot get out of this big dilemma and still not decided yet.
How to do? Better give up 1 choice either NYGH or NJC to secure RVHS?
Any opinion will be appreciated. Thank you

Regarding Citizenship comes first before balloting, can someone helps to clarify:

Student A - Singapore citizen, AL8, puts SCGS as 2nd choice

Student B - PR, AL8, puts SCGS as 1st choice.

Citizenship comes first means student A will be considered first or student B?

I think so. With Same point —-> citizen get the seat first not PR. if both are citizen, then the choice order counts now.

Dear All parents, I would like to seek for your advise for my plan of choices for S1 for my DD - 6D for PSLE result. Thanks.
Whether they are logical? Thanks.

1 - Nanyang Girl (4-7M)
2. Raffles Girl (4-6)
3. Cedar Girl - IP (choose this one as most near to our home) (4-8)
4. CHIJ ST. NICHOLAS GIRLS' SCHOOL - IP (4-7M)
5. DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL (4-8D)
6. Cedar Girl - O Level. (4-9)

High chance of getting NYGH, and if not successful, you will get into Cedar (IP) for sure. I think you have nothing to be concerned about.

I also think that high chance for NYGH. Especially ‘Distinction’ will give her priority over other 6M, 6P, 6.

Dear parents.

My girl got 7M. I hoped max 8 or 9 point bcoz she had quite hard time in p6. So her result 7(M) really surprised me.
At first, I thought this year’s cohort doing so well???? Only her??? Was the test easier than usual?
These questions are still hovering in my head.
What if too many 7 scorers out there? Many balloting which we want to avoid bcoz of ‘PR’ status could happen.
We’re thinking NYG, NJC, RVH as top 3 choice now.
NYG and NJC are too risky for PR student?
Living in Clementi/West coast so Nan hua, Fairfield, Commonwealth will be next 3 choice.

Any advice will be deeply appreciated. Thank you!!!! :?: :?: :?:

RI and NJC will not have the chance to consider your application because you have indicated RVHS AL9 (D) as second choice. AL6(M) getting into RVHS is a certainty.

If I am in your position, I would place 1) RI. 2) HCI 3) NJC, 4) RVHS

If you are living in the west why not also consider ACS(I) IB program as well?

I advised not to place this way, choice matters this year. Popular schools will be filled up at most by 2nd choice. Even your mark is above cop. If u cannot make RI, HCI, Rv and njc may most probably be filled up and you cannot enter even score is above COP. 1st choice is most important as schools are empty. Use your choice carefully. I suggested HCI as first choice. RV or NJ can be 2nd choice.

S1 posting doesn't operate this way.

AL6 students will get posted before AL7 and AL8 even if RV is placed last choice..

posting is sequence starts will AL4 AL5 AL6 and so on..[/quote]

—————
In this case, if HCI is already filled up, his next preference is RVH. But the problem is that other 6(M) kids might take their 1st choice school . If RVH is filled up with 1st choice student with same point 6(M), he has no seat. Then how about RI??? Same could happen like 1st choice take all the seats already then he has to go down and down. Am I thinking right???

For example, here are all 4 pointers. If A’s 1st is HCI, B’s 1st is RI, C’s 1st is NJC, D’s 1st is RVHS so they all get their 1st choice school in this system.Am I right? Really confused. Any explanation pleaseeeeeee…
