I remember the principal saying there is a possibility to transfer from O level to IP midstream. Any one know the criteria for this transfer? Keen to transfer to IP

Must produce good results during the 1st 2 years of study.

And subject to availability in IP stream.

floppy,

If say cedar has some students transferred out and there are some leftover vacancies. Will there still take in some whose COPs are near to their cut off score? E.g.-- if the cut off is 254, and the child scores 253.8 in decimal place but shown as 253 on paper.

Any idea on this issue?

Whether they round up or round down, no one knows for sure. However, the number shown on the result slip and once COP is known, those are absolute - 253 is 253. 254 is 254. 253 cannot be 254, no matter how much we wish it to be. Even if there are a number of withdrawals or transfers, there are probably a number of suitable candidates (i.e. meet COP) waiting in the queue.

Hi folks, Any idea how much is the school bus from Hougang ? My DD is posted here as her second choice and now she is contemplating should we appeal for SNGS. for me, both schools are as good and Cedar is nearer to our place. Any advise to share ? Thanks.

Sweetiegalaxy, im juz a student but im willing to share my pov. Depends on what your daughter likes. For example i am posted to SNGS(this yr) but decided to appeal for cedar (haha d exact opposite) SNGS is more traditional and puts emphasis on chinese language and studies while cca although is impt, is not as emphasised on in SNGS. SNGS is also alot more strict when it comes to school rules. However st nicks is quite abit better den cedar in terms or cop and ranking so itll be a safer choice. Cedar girls place emphasis on sports and cca (if im not wrong) and ur daughter will enjoy it if she does not want too much stress. And d scl rules n regulations are not as strict as SNGS but no matter what your decision, both are great scls appeals are closing 23 dec (tmr) 12 noon and if ur daughter wants to appeal, you shld hurry becuz the appeal form takes quite a long time to fill especially the part where you have to share an experience abt a situation dat required u to uphold a principle or value dear to u n d cchallenges u encountered (that was cedar's appeal form but im not sure abt the rest) dis is all my personal pov so it rly depends on ur daughter's personality but good luck to whatever decision u n ur daughter make

Hi Serifang, thanks alot for the reply. I will check with her again cos I heard lots of people appealing for SNGS.
