2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy
-
Guidance:
I think Nan Hua is the more likely outcome at the end of the posting exercise compared to RVHS. Nan Hua is a very good school too, just that it's not IP.My DD scored 246 + HCL merit. Knowing that there is a slight drop in COP we plan to select in below order
- River Valley High (it is a challenge 251)
- Nan Hua High 245
- Crescent 245
- CHIJ Toa Payoh
- St Margaret
- Chung Cheng Main
Pls share your view -

And I think they have aircon classrooms too coz they are next to a very busy road![/quote]We're becoming air-conditioned nation. :rotflmao:
I second this statement. SMSS is not as academically strong as the top tier schools, it's not shabby either, and definitely no worries about values and character.Teacher Aaron:

based on experience and anecdotes, SMSS takes care of the girls very well, school with great tradition - oldest girl school in SE Asia. -
Just for discussion.
If dsa co is accepted, the student cannot change school as moe has instructed schools not to entertain these requests.
What if the child rejects the co but finds that his psle score is lower than he expected and now wants to àppeal for the school to take him in? Is that allowed? Does he stand a good chance? If so, would future p6s be better off rejecting co and then if get better than expected can go to a more resource-rich school and if not as good a score, go appeal to the school which originally has given the child a co?
That seems to be happening … -

From what I know, once you have accepted the DSA, you cannot change at all. Once you have rejected, you are back to the student pool and follow what the rest are doing, i.e. to select schools based on the T-score.Just for discussion.

My DD got 245+2
1st-Cedar
2nd - Anglican High
3rd - Chung Cheng Main
4th - Nan Chiau
5th- Tanjong Katong Gals
6th- Cresent Gal
Is it ok? We will appeal for Cedar -
houselizard:
The schools they had co for are schools that now they can't get in via psle scores. The schools have told these parents to put them as 1st choice and appeal. Seemed to have given them an indication that with a prior co, there's a good chance.

(just like the transfer after psle for those who accepted CO - now no more transfer)

The difference btw the 2 options is Cedar or SCGS. Both are great schools with similar COP. Would distance from home help in any way to decide which option to go for? -
