Thanks. Have to discuss with DD on her preference. May I know at the end of the day, which school did your friend choose eventually? Is ok if it's not convient for you to disclose.


Thank you.

1st choice : St Nic because they are Christian family.
2nd choice : SCGS

Got into SCGS, still happy. Next year S2.

Thank you for the reply. You are really helpful.
Do you know how is her DD coping? Is she happy and enjoying herself in SCGS? We are worried because of the primary school affiliation and afraid that DD might not be able to mingle in as most of the girls would have know. Each other beforehand.

Thanks for replying. If my son gets the Ib diploma after 6years, can he apply for universities in usa or uk directly without taking other tests? Thanks.

IB is widely recognised overseas as well. You may want to read the following threads for more info:

Most of the schools are not convenient and need at least an hr to travel. My choices are :
1) Catholic High (cop - 249) (son score : 246+2 = 248)
2) Victoria Sch (cop - 247)
3) Chung Cheng Main (241) (son score : 246 +2 = 248)
4)Nan Hua High (245) (son score : 245 +2 = 247)
5) St Joseph Inst (245)
6) Fairfield Sec (241)
All the above schs have affiliation JC except for Nan Hua High.
Is my choice ok?
Pls advice soon.>

Thks so much for all the feedback… appreciate lots!
May I ask between VS & Anderson Sec, which is a better choice? In terms of logistic wise, I think Anderson Sec is more convenient.
Hope to hear from you all soon!!

I would suggest VS as a better choice - it has affiliation to a top JC - VJC, and in addition, those students topping their lower sec cohort has an opportunity to join the VJC IP programme at Sec 3. These 2 factors are big \"plus\" in my opinion.

How about Anderson Sec compared to Chung Cheng Main? Anderson Sec has any JC affiliation?

Thks again so much!!

If 1st choice is 1-2 points above, while 2nd choice is 3 marks below, am I right to say that it is quite safe that ds will be given either one? As we can’t find any better school (either too high or location). Or I might put 3rd choice with 6 points higher?

Thanks for your advice!
