hi Sun,
thanks
when she brought back her prelim results (124), i was really in the dumps.
i burst into tears when she showed me her psle results but daughter thought i was disappointed. hubby explained to her that we are actually very happy she made such a big improvement.

Hi Janet, congrats to your DD :rahrah:

Hi

My gal has 252 and we stay in Kovan. Besides Cedar, there are not many girls' school COP that are lower than her score.
Having a hard time choosing the school.
Thinking of SCGS but it is too far.

Anyone can advise. Thanks.

ngemily, it would help if you specified if you are looking for IP school? Or are you ok to consider O level? If your child takes Chinese, she will also have a wider choice of schools as there are a number of SAP schools which could potentially be suitable.

Hi
Is the first choice very important? If you want the school and can meet the COP. can we put as second choice?

my choices are:
1. SCGS IP cutoff 254 ( my gal's top choice)
2. SCGS o level cutoff 252 (my top choice, but worry COP might go up or not)
3. Cedar o level cutoff 250 (wanted to try IP but cutoff 254)
4. ??? St nicholas o level cutoff 254 ??? (don't know which school to put)
5. Paya lebar cutoff 247
6. CHIJ toa payoh cutoff 247

I need advise whether my options are sensible or not.
Thank you.

Either Newton or Bishan, depending on the lanuage (French/Jap or German) and which zone your child's school is in. Refer to the bottom of this link page:

Thank you.[/quote]From what I understand at the SCGS open house, the girls come from all over Singapore, from Woodlands to Tampines. It is hard to tell whether SCGS O-level COP will be higher or lower than 252 in 2016. However, the P did mention that since SCGS offers dual track, SC girls who perform very well at secondary 2 has a chance to switch over to their IP track.
