Hi,


Just to update those that need to know, st Stephens reverte to say that hey would not be able to disclosed the results for 2012.

Here is the email response.
Dear Madam,


Thank you for expressing interest in registering your child in St. Stephen’s School. Holistic Education is very much the focus of the school, where every Stephenian is a Caring, Confident and Independent Learner, excelling for the Glory of God.In accordance with Every School, a Good School, all schools have been moving away from a single ‘Yardstick’, in this instance, the PSLE results. The school has been achieving both Quality and Quantity passes (above National level) for English, Mathematics and Science. We are still striving towards meeting national level for both Quality and Quantity for Mother Tongue.I regret to inform you that we are not able to disclose the actual figures of our school’s performance for Y2012.



Thank You

Why so secretive? :shock: Lots of school share on their website their scores no matter how good or how bad...why is St Stephen like that?
:yikes:

[phtthp]

maybe because St Stephen Mother Tongue (Chinese) is weak.

not sure about Malay or Tamil

[Sweetbaby456]

Perhaps standards for the other subjects are not as good compared to other schools in the area - like Ngee Ann, CHIJ Katong, TKPS and the rest.

Its best that parents may a wise decision. Hiding such pertinent information to potential parents who may consider their school does not really speak well for themselves…Anyway - thats all our guesses…parents should think carefully…

Hi, as promised to revert - to close the loop, TKPS also got back to say on phone that they will not be sharing the 2011 results, anymore. As its old info, 2 years ago.


So unless someone has that old information, there is no way to get it.

However, my TKPS parent friend shared that the express for TKPS students. This was not on their website.

This is comparable to Ngee Ann of 68.5.

That’s all I have!

Happy deciding! And good luck mommies…

Hi, numbers only do not tell the whole picture...do consider the EQ and character development of the school as well..
Of late heard that TKPS due to the vast number of foreigners they are more \"exposed to vulgarities and name calling\"...anyway not too sure on the authencity of this ...perhaps parents who are interested in this school should investigate and come up with a good decision :nailbite:

hi sweetbaby456, now that you mentioned it - quite some time ago, a parent also had pmed me on the usage of kids picking up vulgarities due to the ang moh influence in the school (TKPS) However, i did not follow up on it as my focus then fell on other schools...perhaps parents should ask other parents in the school on the occurences on such issues...
