Hi, Can somebody pls provide feedback on the quality of Academics at Tanjong Katong Secondary School, specially the STEM subjects (Maths & Science). My child has been shortlisted of interview for transfer in Secondary 2. He is strong in these subjects. Does the school have good faculty and advanced programs for these subjects? How is the general culture in the school ?

Tanjong Katong Secondary is strong in Math and Science. They do have advanced programs for these subjects like Math Olympiad

Hi
Can any parents share the sec 2 streaming criteria with me? Is it all can take Amath?

Yes, all students take A math.

Any existing or ex-students of Ms Felicia can refer my child who will be taking O levels this year. Referral by an existing or ex-student can expedite the enrolment process. Thank you so much!

Can i check with existing parrnts, do TKSS have house colour tees for PE tshirts?

Ever since the current principal came into TKSS, she removed house colour tees . There is no sports day for students.

Does anyone know if a boy coming in not through DSA has a chance to get into the football team? My son applied but didn't even get an interview. He has been playing since K2.

Its not easy getting into TKSS football team . My son couldnt get into TKSS football team even though he has been playing football since he was 2 years old and he represented his primary school football team which won the national championship.
From what I understand, they only offer DSA trials to school team players.
The teacher in charge of football is Mr Soh.

Anyone applied for DSA to Tanjong Katong and has experience to share?

Category 1: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics)
Applicants should demonstrate strong interest and drive to excel in STEM.
Have portfolio or other indicators that demonstrate aptitude and passion for STEM, attitude for Inquirybased learning.
Achieved consistent and excellent results for Mathematics and Science in Primary 5 (Overall results) and
Primary 6 Mid-Year exam (overall) results.

We're also looking at it but what I don't understand is why they accept Science DSA as they don't seem to have any special programmes for Science.

TKSS focuses on Math. They send their talented students to Math Olympiad competition.
There's no representative from TKSS for Science Olympiad .

[quote=\"sweetbaby\"]Hi

Hows the school? Any insights on the Arts dept/programs? thx u!

There is an online petition for the current principal to be out of tkss. Not sure what’s the story behind it. :siam:

I believe it's because she removed alot of the sch activities that students felt was important and basically removed the fun out of the sch n made it too academically focused. Some students feels that she's ruining the sch n taking the life of the sch away I guessed :yikes: :frustrated:[/quote]The principal removed the school's Sports Day.
