CHIJ St Nicholas Girls'

[phtthp]

ChiefKiasu:

Thanks, @phtthp. When I was a kid, we were given any information we want and our parents could not be bothered finding out what is happening in school. There was an implicit trust in the school. Things have radically changed. MOE wants parents to be more engaged, and yet withhold more and more information from parents. Sigh.

Once all info been removed, everything become a black box (unknown mystery).

Of all info, we, current 2019 P6 batch parents, through whatsapp chat group, shared that the mean of cohort (per subject) ought to remain, because since PSLE 2019 September is coming less than 7 months from now, round the corner, without the average mean (cohort) disclosed, how to benchmark whether our child is doing ok or not ok, within the cohort, although we know that we should be doing our personal best?
Of all info available, this average mean (cohort) is the most useful, relevant and practical, to all P6 cohort students.

However, other kind of info disclosed like

a) the Highest score, per subject, achieved by cohort, or

b) who are the Top 3 pupils per class, or

c) who are the Top 15 percent pupils, falling within the cohort level, disclosed during year-end award ceremony in November, this type of info -

There is NO need to know, hence it is perfectly all right not to disclose, be cause it will only make the students much more highly competitive, especially. those pupils coming from the Top classes.

Example

Why would you want to know what's the Highest score achieved by cohort, for each of the 4 subjects, unless you are (happen to be) those students vying to be Top in standard, for that particular unique subject, inside the cohort ? But, to the rest of many other P6 students here, this info (Highest score) is of zero relevance, no use.

Yes, within St Nick school itself, there are some (certain) very highly competitive P6 students, that like to go around, asking to see (compare) their classmates' Report card content, subject by subject, because they want to benchmark : who do better, is it they or their classmates do better, than them ? It is this type of unhealthy competition that MOE, want to do away with.

Benchmark, compare...
One-upmanship, competitive...
Different words, same meaning.

If cohort mean is 240, your score is 200, what does it mean?
If cohort mean is 200, your score is 240, what does it mean?
And if one is doing his / her best, is his / her relative performance to the others relevant?
Shouldn't it be that the only mean that matters is your own? (which you already have the answer)

P/S: I think I'm being brainwashed by the MOE already

[phtthp]

Your answer, your interpretation, is Not quite what we are looking for. You have mis understood, sorry, peace

Hi.

If balloting is required in Phase 2A(1) and my daughter doesn’t get a place in this phase, is she automatically bumped to Phase 2A(2)? If so, does she have to go through balloting if this phase is also oversubscribed?

thanks.

If 2a1 is oversubscribed, 2a2 will be skipped, there will be no 2a2.

Sorry, you only get 1 chance under Phase 2A. If balloting occurs in Phase 2A(1), then there will be zero overflow places left for Phase 2A(2). The next phase would be Phase 2B (if you qualify), and then Phase 2C.

Thanks for the replies.


So, if I qualify for Phase 2A (1) and to increase my chances of getting into Phase 2A (1) without balloting, I should also look at distance from the school (i.e. within 1km)? If I qualify for Phase 2A (1) and stay within 1km, will it be more or less a shoo-in?

so far, based on facts from historial past years balloting, whenever there was a balloting conducted under Phase 2A(1) St Nick, balloting took place, for SC > 2 km
