ctct61t:
You're welcome
Thanks ！
for \"IP\" track -
majority of our girls target RGS Secondary.
Most of our (P, Q, R) 3 classes of GEP girls will DSA (Direct Secondary School admission) into RGS Sec first,
Although minority of our Mainstream girls also managed to DSA into RGS too, some via Sports.
Some may aim for Nanyang Girls' High, or NUS High.
NJC also popular !
For \"O level\" track (if child is a Singapore citizen ) :-
MGS Secondary is the most expensive : at $355 per month, together with SCGS Sec At $300 per month school fees.
In contrast, Cedar and CHIJ St Nicholas Secondary are affordable to many parents at $23 and $28 per month, respectively.
Last year 2013 P6 batch (born 2001) performed very well !
48 % of our girls obtained 250 and above.
48 % is no mean feat, because 48 % is very close to 50 % !
Means almost half the P6 cohort
can enter Secondary 1 \"Integrated\" program curriculum, scored above 250.
Most of them come from (P, Q, R, E, F + a few other P6 classes who had done extremely well)
The balance of 52 % (below 250) went \"O level\" track.
They went Crescent, CHIJ Toa Payoh, Tanjong Katong Girls, St Margaret, plus other Sec schools. -
Phttp :
Thanks for the sharing and this certainly comes helpful.
Tmrw will be P6 PTC to discuss on DSA and Sec 1 posting.
Be walking this journey with DD to DSA ( hopefully she can get to her dream sch )
and PSLE in 7 mths time. -
You’re welcome, Gifted Gem
Tomorrow Saturday morning at PTC :-
Maybe can Ask P :
how many girls for past few years managed to enter DSA, via academic route ?
Mostly come from which classes ?
which subject commonly used via DSA entry, out of (English, Maths, Science, Chinese) ? Why ?
Ask P to share with P6 (Mainstream + GEP) girls past P6 DSA experience
Because if students choose DSA via Sports :-
they cannot change the school nor change that CCA, once they accept the DSA Secondary school offer.
However, their interests may change, when they move onto Secondary school environment.
(Different from primary school)
They may be interested to try out some other CCA instead, which were absent in our RGPS. -
my impression is the P hopes the girls will go RGS if they can…

KSP:
my impression is the P hopes the girls will go RGS if they can......
It seems the girls have more preference to go for RGS than others.
This is so for DD's class. At least 18 out of 22 have eyed for RGS now. -

at last Sat meeting, did P release or share info from last 3 years' batch -
roughly what's the percentage of (Mainstream + Geppers) both from P6 batch(es), enter RGS Secondary ?
can share with us overall what did P talk about at the meeting ? -
RGS was still the preferred Sec Sch for our girls last year. Followed by NYGH.
The parents still prefer all girls Sec Sch but since most have affiliation, the girls there may already have their own friends from Pri Sch. Whereas RGS will have students from everywhere (maybe more from RGPS), so is easier for the girls to find news friends there since most of them are in new environment. -
NYGH have many girls from ex NYPS.
They tend to form clique, since they knew one another from Primary 1 school days.
Due to affliation -
cut off point for outsiders to join NYGH is higher, than RGS (no affiliation from RGPS)
many of our girls tend to select RGS Secondary.
Indian & Malay pupils who take Tamil, Hindi or Malay language -
can’t join NYGH, since NYGH SAP school only offer Chinese, as Mother tongue.
But they can still go RGS Secondary.
Out of RGS Sec 1 cohort -
The primary school with the highest number of pupils enrolled there, come from our school.
