In my opinion, St Hilda’s Secondary is not a good choice If ur child is a girl, you might want to consider putting her in an all girls’ school my four girls have all graduated from their primary schools which was St Anthony’s Canossian and Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ with astonishing results for their PSLE and my eldest child, an excellent result for A levels. My younger sister is currently studying in St Hilda’s Sec and her behaviour has took a turn for e worst, there is this teacher in SHSS, Ms Loy Chong Hwa, who apparently is a math teacher and caused two classes to fail math.

Hi koguma… my boy scored 191 … may I know if punggol sec a gd choice? How abt loyang sec??

[notsoks]

Is East Spring Sec Sch a good/bad choice? Im not only looking at the school’s COP cos i think the discipline is as important. Anyone knows the passing/failing rate for this school?

Hi \"dsii\", you can refer to the \"Secondary School Selection 2013\" thread for more information on the schools. I almost missed your question here, lucky I received an email from the portal that there is one posting on this thread.

Comparing Punggol Sec and Greendale Sec, Punggol Sec median score is lower than Greendale Sec. I understand from my sister that Punggol Sec principal is very strict with the students, hence discipline is slightly better.

For Greendale Sec, quote what my nephew (Sec 4 this year in the school) told his younger brother \"Don't come to Greendale !!\". Personally, we believe most of the teachers are doing their work, but we are not happy with the way Greendale's principal runs the school, especially in the Sec 3 subjects combination. Quote my nephew \"He is always not in the school !\" Maybe he is busy having meetings at MOE ? However my nephew told me that the school \"O\" level results has improved over the years.

I happened to help a parent look for schools that offered Express courses for COP around your boy's score. You can take a look. The schools are around Bishan, Serangoon, Hougang, Seng Kang, Punggol.

Note: do not be misled by those schools with very high COP. You should focus on the median score to understand the academic level of the school intake.

SERANGOON GARDEN SECONDARY SCHOOL

BISHAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL

LOYANG SECONDARY SCHOOL

Agree with me ya? So is East Spring a good/bad choice? What about other neighbourhood schools in Tampines? Like Pasir Ris, Junyuan, Tampines...?

I graduated from DHS but I don’t want my son to study there. It is a good school for accountants and back room managers…


I would love to send my son to NYG even if it is a girl school, so that he will be very popular among the roses…

However I think I need a good reason to appeal…

Thanks for sharing, I actually put Dunman High if miracles happen. Someone did mentioned that we should choose many schools and put them according to the COD, ie when the PSLE results out, just throw in the prepared list of 6. However, there is not much schools around my area, only Changkat Sec but I don’t want him to go there either.

I tried to look for some with direct bus but only a 2 to 3.[/quote]

You are free to choose any school for your son. However, as an old alumni of DHS, I cannot agree in stereotyping the future of the students. DHS provides us a good learning environment. Just like any schools, there are DHS alumni in all walks of life: Accountant, back room manager(what does it mean???), entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, military, MPs... (if we measure people by professions). What is important is the school's motto 诚信勇忠 which teaches us to have a honest life. How much else and what one can achieve depend on the individual, not the school.
