With reference to below article dated back 3 years ago in 2013, whereby it state that may take a few years to implement the new Psle Banding system -

parents who intend to transfer their daughters into St Nick primary, anytime from end of P2 to end of P4 (note : Transfer into St Nick not allowed in P5) , at end of this year (2016) :
take note that if u are seeking Transfer because of the affiliation discount advantage, situation can change, since none of us officially been informed by Moe , wef from which batch of kids this New Psle Banding system start to kick in. The new Education Minister have yet to announce detail, to public.

also note that P1 : usually no vacancy arise.
Vacancies tend to arise, at end of P2, onwards.

for PSLE 2015 batch (born 2003) :


what was the %tage of students, that scored 250 and above ?

what was the %tage of students, that scored 220 and above, able to study SCGS Sec (O level ) ?

StillThinking:

MOE haven't release anymore info I'm quite sure.

Also, I doubt it would be by category, since they changed it for O level. It's more of like participation and all.

hi StillThinking,

so far, there wasn't any recent update coming from MOE, confirming when MOE intend to turn PM vision into reality.

maybe the new Education Minister is still doing a feasibility study.


But, you are a Secondary 1 student this year (2016), at St Nick Secondary.
so you not affected (since had already passed PSLE last year 2015 batch), unless you've a younger sister, currently studying inside St Nick primary ?

for current Sec 2 "O" level students, from SCGS Secondary & from CHIJ St Nicholas Secondary :

suppose you (student) do well at end of Sec 2, and is offered a Transfer from GCE "O" level track into IP track, starting new academic year in Sec 3 (IP), direct access into our new Eunoia Junior college in Year 5 for GCE "A" level -
would you grab this Transfer offer readily, to switch over to IP ?
why or why not ?

Or

would you prefer to remain inside current O level track, prepare yourself mentally to take GCE "O" level challenge, two years later (Sec 4) ?

What is Secondary 1 SOW ?


Scheme of Work ?

Chij Toa Payoh Secondary : take in affiliated students, at cut off point (200)


Paya Lebar Methodist Secondary : take in affiliated students, at cut off point (205)


for GCE O level batch 2015 and 2014 (past 2 years) :
between above 2 Secondary schools, which school produce better GCE O level results ?
(ignore N level results, although both Sec schools do offer Normal stream)
Appreciate stats provided, if can. Thanks

For Upper Sec 3 O level track students (non IP), how do they allow students to select Sec 3 subject combination ?


Is it take the results at end of Sec 2, rank them by subject, then allow those students strong in that subject, to continue take in Sec 3 ?

example
Ranked by subject Physics : only those who did well in end of Sec 2 physics Paper, allowed to continue take Pure physics in Sec 3

Or

Ranked by subject Chemistry : only those who did well in end of Sec 2 Chemistry Paper, can continue to proceed with Sec 3 Pure Chemistry ?

So if don’t do well in Chemistry at end of Sec 2 : can’t take Chemistry in Sec 3 ?
Is it like this ?

KidCat:

During a recent PTM, P of Eunoia JC mentioned that the school is planning for subsidised transport pickup arrangements from various MRT stations directly to the mt sinai campus in the mornings. The JC starting time would also be later, at 8 am. Hope this is some form of relief to some sngs and chs students considering Eunoia JC.

Oh, this is a very thoughtful gesture, from Principal of Eunoia JC.

Placing subsidised transport arrangement at various Mrt station (instead of only at Buona vista mrt station), transport the students directly to Mount Sinai campus, is much more convenient.
This is a wise plan

Careermum:

Eunoia JC will be at Mt Sinai Rd for the next 4 years, so location is a factor.

If demand for Eunoia JC weaken next year for 2017 A level intake, because of the inconvenient Mount Sinai / Ghim Moh /Buona Vista location, will Eunoia JC take in weaker O level candidates quality, just to fill up the remaining vacancies, for her pioneering first batch of candidates taking 2018 gce A level, for the very first time in this new JC ?
(quite worrying)

Crester:

MOE is right about NYJC is gaining popularly and it being among the Top JCs now.
In short, NYJC Caring Culture and its Commendable Academic Achievement is similar to St Nicks' school environment.
That's why more St Nicks girls are choosing NYJC.

Wah, so the competitor to Eunoia JC next year for A level intake, is Nanyang JC
