Integrated Programme (IP)
-
Hi, can anyone confirm this for me? Was speaking with another parent on DSA IP and was told that the Commitment to those Cedar Girls or St Nicholas Girls IP is only to the Secondary School. Meaning they can actually opt to enrol in another JC should they want to at the end of Sec 4?

The cca commitment is 4 years, the school commitment is 6 years, cannot change JC but can change CCA.

My impression is that MOE has made it next to impossible to switch out of the IP-partner JC, not just for DSA kids, but all kids in the IP programme.

That would be the case. When entering the IP route (as opposed to the O'levels route), regardless whether via DSA to a particular secondary school, it's for that school's 6 year program leading to the GCE A-Level examination or International Baccalaureate Diploma or the NUS High School Diploma.

Thanks for the response. Its also my impression. But is there anything to stop a student from switching if her grades are good enough and the IP JC she is supposed to go to releases her? I am curious if the IP JC even has a say?

No, MOE clamped down on this practice.

Clamped down? You mean it was prevalent last time?
-
I am not sure how prevalent it was, but there were a number of transfers/cross-overs for a variety of reasons. Enough in numbers for people to know and notice. By and large, I would imagine majority of the IP students will follow the default path.

Hi parents. My DD who completed her PSLE this year is getting restless and bored at home, and school holiday has barely started! She has asked for assessment books to do to kill time… any recommendations on Sec One assessment books, that can be used for self study and practises? We are likely going for IP program next year (fingers crossed on PSLE result this week).
Or any recommended resources online that can keep her occupied meaningfully?
Thank you -
