Affiliated Schools and their COPs

i think likely , with a 20% ringfenced seats for non affi , more nearby students will try St Pat thus in the end demand more than supply for 2019 batch -> thus push up aggre from 229 ( 2018) to 233 (2019)
Maybe because before the 20% thing, fewer non-affiliates chose the school thinking that they may not get in since most places will be taken up so they dont waste the 6 choices, or thinking that they dont want to be in the same school with students coming in at lower scores.MerlionInGermany\" post_id=\"1979845\" time=\"1591505023\" user_id=\"2964:
[quote=lee_yl post_id=1979841 time=1591503492 user_id=17023]So this year, more seats were released to the non-affiliated applicants? Then by right, the COP for non-affiliates should go down right as more will be able to join the school? But the COP for non-affiliates went up instead.
ST Pat :
2018, for non-affiliates COP @ 229
2019, for non-affiliates COP @ 233
Then when there is the 20% thing, non-affiliates felt they might have a better chance of getting in, so more chose it.
Could it be like this?
As for plmgs cases, all the while the non affi has very low chances , even with a 20% ringfenced for non-affi girls, some may not want to take chance in 2019 , in a way demand drop , T score also drop from high 240s to 237
i \"heard\" plmgs manage to increase new sec 1 cohort intake for 2019 batch - thus at the same time will or may increase the 20% physical vacancies for non affi girls since total enrolment increase (??) - which is good news for 2019 girls who gave it a try[/quote]I see
MP,
Thank you very much, for letting us know (be aware) that PLMGS had increased by open one more extra 2020 Sec 1 class, for 2007-born cohort girls, that had sat for 2019 PSLE, last year.
That's how PLMGS Secondary school management
1)
are able to let more affliated P6 girls come back to study at their Secondary school. And, at the same time
2)
concurrently,
still able to let other external \"outside\" keen students (Non-affliated), join PLMGS Secondary,
because after all,
PLMGS Secondary (O-level), is affliated to Anglo-Chinese Junior College.
I love PLMGS Cca :
can play harp !
harp is such a beautiful, musical instrument
The harpists ensemble (PLMGS)
https://www.plmgss.moe.edu.sg/co-curricular-programmes/performing-arts/harp-ensemble
very hard (rare) to find Harp Cca, in other Secondary schools
==================
Another thing, unique about PLMGS Secondary, is that
the girls are very strong in English Literature (humanities subject) -
Anyone knows when the affiliation bonus under the AL system would be known? After 2021 PSLE?
-
Dunno.
MOE will release the indicative AL COPs in “first half of 2021”.
So I assume it will show the both the affiliated & non-affiliated COPs. Not sure if it will be a straight, direct “translation” from T score to AL score, or will they take the chance to announce any changes to the entire affiliation bonus system. -

This tiny gem was buried somewhere in today's article:
\"MOE said that secondary schools affiliated to primary schools will still have two sets of cut-off points next year to cater to affiliated and non-affiliated pupils.
It said that there will also be no change in how the affiliation priority works, with pupils still required to meet the minimum requirements of the secondary school and pick them as their first choice.\"
It is so brief and skimpy, i'm not sure whether to feel relieved or not. -
Affliation will still exists, probably either 1 or 2 points at most. By end of June (2021), we will all know

I think you should be “somewhat” relieved, if your intention is to stick to the family. The AMR is NOT a bonus point scheme - it’s “pre-informed” and known rather than “post-result” which may move with the COP (of whatever fanciful name MOE is going to come up with). At least you have a fixed target to aim for (assuming you will also clear the 80% threshold).

It means ACS can continue to offer maybe AMR score of AL12 to ACSI, and AL24 to ACSBR. No different from before. -

You just have to wait for the school to make an announcement.

On the NYGH DSA Q&A, the Principal said that:
a) the affiliate cutoff has been published - not sure if the AL8(M) on the MOE website is definitive?
b) 20% of the spaces are available for affiliated students (around 80 spaces vs a cohort of ~400).
Obviously, the 20% is normally what applies to non-affiliates. Further, it doesn't seem like NYGH could ever hit the 80% cap (~320 spaces), so seems like they have adopted some other internal measure/limitation (not sure why).
Principal's comments are in the Q&A Video at about the 31-32 minute mark in the link below.

Interesting. She did not mention what the AMR is, but it would have been disseminated to the NYPS parents I’m sure.

Seems to me that their internal cap of 80 seats is to keep the standards high. It is for the IP stream after all.
What parents would probably want to know is: based on the MOE simulation, did the 81st pax score 8(M) and get balloted out by the computer? Or did she score 8(P) and hence failed becos did not meet the COP?
