please remember that sota is essentially an academic school & not a vocational art school


i attended a briefing for the pioneer cohort & the principal clarify that any academically brilliant student who wish to say take up medicine in university will be allowed to give up their art form for another science subject. the student is however expected to complete the art curriculum.

it's well & good that we are concerned about our children' education but if you are asking too many question, you are perhaps not mentally prepared to send your child to sota

remember that sota is after all a 'government' school so how bad can it be.

personally, i think the child's commitment should be the first consideration because if the child loses interest & cannot pass his/her art form, i believe sota is quite willing to kick him/her out even if he/she is doing ok academically

My teacher told me if u don't understand ASK...so i am asking now haaaaaaa or have I gone into the wrong website..this is Kiasuparent website right.. . I am not doubt abt whether it is a 'good' or 'bad' school but whether will it be suitable for my dd to go in a few yrs time since she is only p2 now and learning ballet. Well, by then she might not be very good in ballet but if she is and she has great interest in it, then SOTA will be one of her choice of school.

I've looked, but it isn't terribly informative! Anyway, my daughter has pretty much decided, based on a combination of interest and not wanting the classes to clash with her CCAs.

that's good.

Would it be very tough if the kid doesn’t take biology in JC?

This is not the first year primary school kids are brought to Mt kk for mountain climbing. I believe the guides and teachers have told kids that if they don't feel well along the way they can remain at where there are instead of proceeding the mountain climbing. There bound to have certain risk such as slipping or falling down with minor cuts. But none would expect a earthquake that kill many of our kids plus teachers and guides.


So after this incident we know there is a possibility of earthquake even at places which are not normal to have it. Personally I think better to avoid mountain climbing at this period of time especially after Nepal strong earthquake and recent mt kk earthquake. Who knows who knows what will happen next...touch wood..

Cedar p said they took in top 10% of the cohort even for the \"o\" track this year. I think it's not happened in previous years?

This cedar O level cop is 248 and the lowest cop for ip track this yr is 248.

Past yrs I don't think that happen. By the way cedar ip only 3 to 4 yrs ago.

@whitecarrotcake. .8 or more of your dd schoolmates going cedar!..wow that is quite a number....yet to see who from my dd school going to cedar other then her best friend.

Hahahaaa yes @whitecarrotcake. ..
