Thanks Floppy for your advice!


Happy new year everyone!

Thank u everyone! Indeed its the best present of the new year! This was 4th choice…1st to 3rd was trying luck only.

Just received positive appeal result today, and managed to settle all the paper work prior school closure today. Grateful to have a good ending of year 2019! Good luck to parents who are still waiting for appeal result, I know its really stressful…

Ok, thanks Floppy! Waiting for appeal result …

Yes, Anxious.Dad understood me correctly. Sorry for didnt make it clearly.

I meant if Top school (>250) will release appeal result so vacancy is avail in higher COP school (230+ to 240+), follow by mid COP school (210+ to 220+) since this is a musical chair? As High COP student needs to vacant the seat before border line student takes their seat? Or school can create a few more seats and "squeeze" them in? Of course, I meant for appeal who are meeting school COP.

May I know if appeal to higher COP school will get the outcome first since this is a musical chair?

May I know how to check a secondary school recent GCE O level result % of students qualify for JC, poly?


Any feedback on Geylang Methodist and Beatty secondary? Struggling whether to put my child to a school near his COP or near home but with a much lower COP…

Is Guangyang school a good school? I am puzzled why the PSLE score min and max is so wide? 188 to 250+

What’s your definition of a good school?

There are various reasons. Sometimes people don’t mind a school next to their place as convenience override all other concerns. Besides, if you frequent Bishan often, you will realize that Guangyang students, despite the seemingly low COP, aren’t those problematic type and reasonably well behaved.

FWIW, one of my best had a score of 260+. Could have gone to HCI (then known as TCHS) but went to a neighborhood school with an equivalent COP of COP 188. He didn’t make the selection - his grandmother / mother, who are not well-educated, did. Nonetheless, he was too lazy to change it (during my times, those who qualify for SAP can change after results announced). Needless to say, he’s the best student in the school by a mile. Went on to JC and Uni. In the end, didn’t hurt him a bit TBH.

Thanks so much for sharing! Typically, parents compare COP of the secondary school, and try to apply a school that their child meet the min COP -2 to -3 pts or up to +10 pts... very curious why a student with 250+ applied a school with min188 COP since there are so many other choices...so I thought there must be something that Guangyang school is good with... Its great to have experts like u and Phtthp to share:) I am going to their open house tml to find out more, though my son's score is far above the min COP (not 250 kind though), but dont mind to put it as one of the options in consideration of proximity to home.

In Guangyang Secondary

some scored 188 can still choose Express stream. There are a few classes for Express stream

Perhaps, check what talent programme does Guangyang Secondary offer, since there are students with 250+ also inside. Nowadays, a number of Secondary schools offer interesting Applied learning programme

Thank u Phtthp for sharing your view!
