Cedar Girls Secondary School

[jenao]

For the last point on the promotion criteria, would like to understand what is the 4 H2 subjects that they are recommended to take for flexibility later on in choosing the subjects? I assume any combination in Sec 3/4 IP will allow the flexibility? Is there any combination that will not have the flexibility later on?

Dear parents/students of Cedar,
my child has obtained 249 and even though she is at the borderline of the cutoff point, we are considering for the 'O' level program of Cedar. We have some concerns and your input will greatly help us to make the decision.
Assuming she is lucky to get into the school of her choice:
Since she is at the borderline for last year's cutoff point, we worry that she is not as academically strong when compared to her peers who entered the school with higher tscores, hence, making it more pressurized for her to perform. Any insights on my thought?
I also understand that at Sec 3 they will be split into different classes based on the combinations given. Is it true that those who are taking the combined science will be at a disadvantage when they select JC?

HI! My daughter is a current Cedarian in the integrated programme. She scored 261 for her PSLE, and she's been doing well in the school. She revealed that in her class, the pupils that are topping the subjects Math, Science are actually DSA students with t-scores of 240 and 245. Hence, I would suggest your daughter to not worry too much. Once your daughter enters Cedar, everyone is on around the same level. She may need to work a bit harder but do not worry. Cedar's teachers are really dedicated and they can provide many one-on-one consultations to help your daughter buck up. Cheers!

Hey! My daughter chose her subject combination recently too and she had to sit through many briefings on subject combinations. Since you mentioned your daughter is in IP, I assume she will be going to VJC. In VJC, there are two distinct streams, Art and Science. VJC does not really offer hybrid combinations.

Science stream- Chem + bio/phy + math + a contrasting subject (eg. Geog, econs, theatre studies...)
Art stream - Any 3 humans (eg. Geog, econs, threatre studies, history, literature...) + math

If your daughter chooses triple science+1 humans (eg. literature), if she chooses science stream, she can pursue H2 Chem + PHY/BIO and any humans (not just literature but also history, econs...) . There is no pre-requisite for taking humanities at A level. Hence, if she chooses art stream, she is free to pursue any humanities.
If your daughter takes a double science subj combination, such as maybe chemistry, physics, literature, geog, if she would like to pursue science stream, her second science can only be physics. VJC requires your daughter to know O Level bio knowledge to take it at a H2 level in JC, so in this case, your daughter would not be able to take Bio.

Hence, for maximum flexibility, students are recommended to take triple science. Hope this helps. Cheers!

[quote=floppy post_id=2006467 time=1606889925 user_id=97579]Generations of Cedarians had walked from the bus stop to the school and in the years before the MRT station was built, walked across the cemetery on a daily basis without much fanfare or worries. I guess if potential students aren’t even able to tahan this small challenge, they probably don’t have “it”.

IKR! Never heard my DD complain about 4 years of walking. Rain or shine also walk cos we don't ferry her much at that time. btw, they don't walk across the cemetery lah.

Nowadays no more cemetery lah. In my time and the time of my peers. That’s why I say Pre-MRT station days :rotflmao:[/quote]Hi Floppy and Zeemimi! Long time no see.

My DD going Cedar too. Are your DDs still there?

Hi. Mine still a few years from secondary school

There’s also the ‘small’ issue of her meeting CGSS future COP, whatever that may be.
