Thanks to all of your posting in this thread....

My DD has set on Cedar since she started her P6 and applied for DSA academic. And fortunately she got her CO ... Although she was quite confident with her PSLE, she just wants to take the CO. So we just confirmed it 30min ago ... :rahrah: :rahrah: :imcool:

Total : how many Year 3 IP classes ?

out of these : How many are Triple Science (year 3) IP classes ?

What's this obsession with triple science?

Cedar tries to offer the girls the subject combi of their choice as far as possible. Unless the child is not doing well academically, almost all who opt for triple science got their choice. My dd opted to do chem bio and I had to listen to her teacher's ranting on how they allowed her to do chem bio even though they wanted her to do trip science. I believe in choosing subjects according to the child's interest. Many chose double science because they wanted to do 2 humanities. In last year's o levels, about 20% of the girls who scored all A1s were from double science classes. And there is no lack of double science cedar students in the top jcs.

For what I know is that, the school strongly encourages the IP girls to take double science.

Hi all


My DD has accepted the Cedar-ip offer and I hope she’ll be happy in her 4 years there before moving on to VJC. She said she wants to do Cedar proud:) Can the jie jie advise her on the books she can buy first for year 1 and perhaps give/sell her the year 1 notes as she’s so eager to read up?

Thank you!

Thanks zeemimi! Friends have told me my dd will make lifelong friends in cedar as the girls there are very humble and helpful:)

at Victoria Secondary school (boys), Hwa Chong Institution -

they use a Grading system, called the Mean Subject Grade (MSG).

The MSG is calculated :
by adding the points together, and then divide the sum by the number of Subjects taken.

do IP students in Cedar Secondary Year (3 and 4) also follow MSG system as like Victoria, or follow GPA (Grade Point Average) system, as in other IP Secondary schools like Dunman High ?

(different Secondary schools use different system to compute score)
