If a student goes either TA or VIP in sec 3 and in his third year of ip, which is jc1, would like to change to another IP school for instance RIJC or HCJC, isit possible?

jtoh:

So, if you're from CHS, SNGS or SCGS, would you choose to stay in the IP track in your school or would you choose to join another IP with an established JC?

I would choose another one. Bc new JC no history and record.

[quote=\"jtoh\"]How disappointing for Catholic High, SCGS and St Nick's. Only applicable to those starting Sec 1 in 2013 and to a new government JC. Not great to be a guinea pig in a new JC. I guess top students will still leave these schools for your more established IP schools.

Yes, I don't like the idea of that JC. I also don't see how they can \"marry\" SCGS with 2 established catholic schools. The background/history seems so different for the identity of the new school.

Only SJI win, lah! Bc they are independent, can hold their own year 5 & 6.

And of course MGS naturally go into ACS(I) which makes sense. But the grouping of CHS/SNGS with SCGS sounds v strange.

My thoughts too. The CHS, SNGS and SCGS team up is wierd. CHS and SNGS I can understand, as they're both Catholic. But SCGS? But then there are no Peranakan boys schools around. They prob didn't know what to do with SCGS so just lumped them together with CHS and SNGS.[/quote]CHS and SNGS both religious schools. Then merge with SCGS at JC level. Then will the JC be a school with religion?

Is good news anyway!


The mentioned schools have lots of students qualifying for IP but instead choosen those schools for many reasons.

The standards of students are actually comparable to current IP schools.

Care to share the many reasons for choosing these mentioned schools even though there are lots of students that are qualified for IP?

VC's mum

Another possible reason:
Students want O level cert.
Cause if IP then do badly/fail A level,
got no cert.
So O level cert then will have something to fall back on

oh shit... yeah hor... SCGS how?? govt or not? i dont know leh

SCGS is NOT government school, being founded by chinese towkay to provide education to the chinese girls who are poor....hence 'SCGS'


SCGS was founded as an all-girls Peranakan school in July 1899 by a group of Straits Chinese individuals including Dr Lim Boon Keng and Sir Song Ong Siang, at premises in Hill Street, with an English headmistress and seven girls on the register.

In 1923, the school left its premises at Hill Street (the site later became the Central Fire Station) and moved to Emerald Hill.

From 1905 to 1936, the school admitted a handful of male students, but afterwards reverted to being an all-girls school.

In 1994, after 70 years at Emerald Hill, the school moved a newly-built campus at Dunearn Road

So which are the 7 schools?

Don't know yet. Hopefully they announce before noon. I wish that the 7 IP school would have at least have 1 each at East, South, West, North and Central so as it will be even more convenience.

I think in evening then will announce.

[quote=\"strong opinions\"]Looks like SCGS is one of the new IP schools. Their principle tell them to watch news tomorrow and read newspaper on thursday

I believe a few new IP schools are in bukit timah area ie SCGS, MGS, SJI, St. Nic etc. The property price for this area is going to be hot. Buy quickly

St Nick and SJI not in bukit timah lah[/quote]SJI counted bukit timah lah. Just next to SCGS what
