Have just submitted the school choices for my son. He actually missed VS’ last year’s COP by 1 mark. Just in case he can’t get in this year, may I know if anyone has successfully appealed last year? What’s required for the appeal?

To be eligible for appeal, you must meet the COP. MOE directive. Hence, if COP remains the same as per last year, he is not eligible for appeal.

My boy from a SAP Pri sch, and got score 264 with Merit in HCL.

We are unable to make a decision between Dunman High and VS (IP). We love the culture of both schools. We want him to grow up to be a more well-rounded gentleman; and also strong in Chinese. VS is also more conveniently located. But at the back of my mind didn’t want to waste the chance of getting him into a SAP school.

Any advise please?[/quote]

I need to be honest here.
If you want yr son to be strong in Chinese, VS is not for him.

Hi there,

We just gave VS as our first choice but I am contemplating aCS I due to its holistic development. Was a tuf choice

Can I ask of u have any thpughts on this? Heard IB is a btter track than IP as its more glbally recognised and holistic.
Plus more choices.for overseas unis.
How is IP Program of VS? is it well rounded focussung on personality development? Is it very stressful like loads of tuf work from the start. Like year 1 has got Sec 2 work?

Thanks a lot

Since your son come from an SAP primary school for past 6 years, comfortable & at ease with SAP culture and if
he prefer to continue remain heavily (constantly) exposed to Chinese roots, tradition and culture,
(Dunman High / Catholic High / Hwa Chong / River Valley High) are more appropriate IP Schools, to choose from.

Ultimately, he is the one going to study for next 6 years, going forward. Not parent, study. Seek (consult) his opinion, which school he prefer, apart from looking at distance travelling to and fro, everyday
