Precise data not available. Not necessary to know to such details

https://www.facebook.com/HGSParent

Just to correct you -
It is ok to say \"precise data not available. \"
This we understand, and we can accept.

But to say \"not necessary to know to such details \" -
Afraid we need to correct you.

There are 2 groups of parents -
One group is those parents who do not bother to know, perhaps because they are not interested.
If you belong to this group, it is perfectly Fine !
Anyway, your kid already inside this school now.

However, there is another group of parents who truly wish to know.
Because they want to know the truth - before decide whether is worthwhile to give up a very popular, school in Phase 1 or 2A and go for Haig girls or not. Choosing the right school for our children is an important major decision, not play play, tikam, tikam. Next 6 years is a long time! Anyway, some parents from this group have already written in to the school via email, to request for detailed info. Some of my friends from a few kindergarten had already done so. And so did I. Because I am also one of the parents in this group considering Haig girls too. And we need actual real facts & figures before us, to help in decision making. Not depend on hear say only, \"Hey, i heard Haig Girls not bad, you know ... \"

But don't worry, we won't bother you.
Your tone here \"not necessary to know to such details\" - to me, I find it a high handed way of answering people. Perhaps info not necessary to you, but it is necessary to me.

Having seen the way you respond here, we would rather get the answer from Haig girls school herself.

Forgive me if you think I am sensitive, in your reply.
Peace !

My apology that my reply was not precise enough and I should have elaborate further. I believe most parents here, including me also wish to know the data as stated by you. The reason I said \"Not necessary to know to such details\" was because I thought that from the graphs shown, you can tell the percentage quite acurately with marginal error of +/- of less than 1%. There were about 200 students taking psle last yr so only every 2 students will make a different of 1% for eng, maths & science and the percentage is larger for MT. So imho, the info shown by the graphs are good enough for me to gauge the performance. I do appreciate the great effort you put in to get precise data for the benefit of everyone.

Hi parents,


Does anyone know when is Maha Bodhi and Kong Hwa open house? Or have I already missed it?
TIA!

[phtthp]

Maha Bodhi and kong hwa :-

Do not have open house.

However, admin said if you have any question, you may call them up to inquire.

Does anyone has the split of 2C for SC vs PR applicants? Wish to know what is the % allocated to SC before allocating to PR. Thanks!

SC have absolute priority over PR. ie SC will take up the places first, remaining places then go to PR.
