[/quote]Our considering factors back then, but caveat is, this is purely our own assessments only :imcool:

Pull Factors of Maris
1) Pure Express Stream only (like what some parents mentioned, may have lesser discipline issue as compared to most schools with all 3 streams, which I also tend to agree, after these past few years of observation)

2) Strong GCE O levels performance, with many subjects scoring above National averages for Distinction passes

3) Dual emphasize on both languages

4) High COP for their own Maris Primary to enter, hence generally all the students' results are quite close and curriculum should be able to better cater to all students, unlike those schools where the disparity between affiliation and non-affiliation students' COP are very very wide and far apart

5) Located directly outside MRT station

6) Impressed by the students who conducted the guided tour

7) Mac book environment

Our grandchildren can enter Maris primary in future as it's a full school


Push factors of Maris
1) Condition of school building, which looks pretty old

2) Wondering how come COP from on non-affiliation students is so low (eventually found out that due to the higher COP for their own Primary students, which is why there are more places that can be allocated to non-affiliation students, hence with supply higher, it will push down COP)

Hope this helps :rahrah:

Nice! I was told schools starts at 8am. Wonder how is the traffic there in the peak hours…

My DS is eligible to take up third language. Does the school conduct Malay lessons as third language and within the school premise ?

Is it? We have not been informed of the 8am reporting time. :?

Morning traffic along Bartley Road can be bad as Pri Sch parents also alight their boys along Bartley Road. Most Sec Sch parents will use Mt Vernon to drop off their kids.

Thank you very much.
