Crescent Girls' or St Nicholas Girls'

[phtthp]

Dreamgear:

Sngs will have 2 points affiliation to the new jc....

SNGS JAE students have 2 points affliation to Catholic Junior College only, but not to the new IP JC

In terms of COP, both schools does not differ much base on the O level track.


COP CGS = 242 (2015)
SNGS = 245 (2015)

Of course the only advantage is getting in CJC with 2 discount points via SNGS.

I am from St nick. I am only from the secondary site and nver attend the primary sch. I am now in TJC. From what i have experienced, st nick’s teacher quality varies. But its school material are more than enough to get you A for olevel. There is also alot of aout of syllabus stuff and extra stuff. most people in our class have tution even if they do not need it at all.


I think the most attractive thing about st nick is the school culture. It really practise what they teach the student about truth and love. It is the best school in my opinion and my happiest day is spend there. The teachers are extremely friendly and helpful and give me alot of extra help.

I’m from St Nicks Secondary too and yes, im not from the primary side. I am still studying in St Nicks but overall, I feel that the environment are really good and our principal inculcates good values in us. Our seniors are really friendly and the graduates frequently visit the school and help out in many activities. I’m not saying that Crescent Girls’ isn’t good though. Additionally, although some of my classmates are from the primary side, they are really awesome friends and they don’t push you away just because they are from the primary side and you aren’t. Hoped this helped.

St Nicholas !!!


1. SAP school (can Study HCL 2 bonus points for O level if pass).

2. Affiliate to CJC 2bonus points (in the event can’t cope HCL -something to fall back)

3.St Nicholas is a "full school" whereby the alumni of St Nicholas secondary school can also get in via phrase 2A to their primary school. (Think for your granddaughter-additional option)

4.excellent O level results

SNGS COP 2015 was lower because the school moved to a holding school for a year. Its COP would be higher this year since the school is back at its original premises after renovation.

After consultation with both parents, our DD submitted her choices for Express in the following order:

CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School
Cedar Girls' Secondary School
Singapore Chinese Girls' School
Crescent Girls' School
Anderson Secondary School
CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh)

If your dd had entered by T-score -
If your daughter T score is very close to St Nick COP for IP, may approach Principal to appeal. P may need to speak to both u & your dd, regarding this.
But appeal can only go through, provided IP side have vacancies to absorb your girl, plus after Principal consult Moe, Moe also nod their head, give the green light to go ahead.
If IP side no vacancy or Moe dis-allow, then cannot.

But if yours is a DSA case into St Nick, is a separate matter, to deal with.
For DSA acceptance case, usually they don't entertain appeal, from one track to another.
But you may speak to P, see how she reply.

Otherwise, if your girl had entered St nick, by the psle T score route -
- at end of Sec 2, if she have done very well, school may invite her to switch over to IP track.

Some Sec 2 students (at end of Sec 2) have received invitation, to switch to start IP track in Sec 3.
A few may have accepted this invitation, but they need to buck up what they had already missed out in the initial 2 years of IP track.

others may decline the invitation to switch over, prefer to remain in the traditional O level track, clear O level first, after that have more option & choices to choose an A level Junior college they like (like goto RI, Hwa Chong, National JC, Victoria JC, Temasek JC, etc), or exit to polytechnic to pursue some specialized Diploma, using their O level results to apply to the faculty of polytechnic they're interested in.

After O level, although some St Nick girls may end up in Raffles Institution, usually quite a number of them prefer to go Hwa Chong, as they are on familiar ground (SAP school)
