Hi, my son has a PSLE score of 249+2. Is the chance of going Catholic High high? (COP for Non-Aff last year is 249).

While the bonus points won't apply to Swiss Cottage, there's really no harm in trying since it's just a 1 point difference from last year's COP.

Why not if your son likes Swiss Cottage?

While its COP for last 3 years has been consistent at 242, no one can really tell what is the COP for 2021 intake.

Congrats and all the best to your son! :rahrah:

We have been researching quite a bit, and I also found this article provided very good info. However, IB vs A styles is still rather challenging to pinpoint for a 12yo.

Just curious, why not NYGH if SNGS an option? NYGH and MGS will be on par on distance, and leave you to compare A vs IB merits seriously.

NYGH was also on our list, however after recce the journey and route, we rather consider RGS, St Nicks, MGS.
NYGH waslking route from mrt is rather far. Plus my gal isn't keen on NYGH so that goes out of list.[/quote]If your child isn't keen, then no point to force the issue. But NYGH is not bad for MRT connectivity, becos many students will take a bus for 1 or 2 stops going to or from the school (connecting to Sixth Ave / Tan Kah Kee station). Kinda similar to St Nicks, I think.

Very high chance (refer to last 5 years COP below) as his COP is 251 (249+2).

Congrats for such good results and all the best to your son! :rahrah:

Congrats to your DD for such good results :rahrah:

Do note that there is a ESIS (Sec 3) at end of Sec 2. If awarded, it will be 2 years (O-Level Programme) or 4 years (IP Programme).

All the best!
