[quote]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. [/quote]These are taken from Today Online,

if the number of applicants exceeds 200, then students with or without AMR will be sorted and ranked with the affiliation offset, and the 200th ranked student's score + affiliation offset (if applicable) become the COP

[/list][list]

if there is a tie for the last spot, then the student that has indicated SMSS as the higher priority will secure

[/list]If this understanding is correct then COP is a market driven cutoff that adjusts each year based on the number of applicants, quality of applicants and available spots.

Also, I wonder if the affiliation offset is determined by targeting a certain affiliate percentage say y% of the new intake?

Perhaps someone can shed some light on this?

Hopefully, the relative offset will still apply well under the new system.

Do note that MOE is working with the schools to determine the minimum requirements for affiliated students. If I am not wrong, it will be released by mid-2021.

Hope it helps.

Happy Lunar New Year! :rahrah:

Hi, my daughter is due to register in 2022 (born 2016). We are PR living within 1km. What do you think are the chances of getting in?


I was hoping to register as PV last year but they are no longer running PV scheme (so dissapointed). Any parents in the same shoes?

Which other schools have a good school culture and are easier to get in for PRs?

Quite risky for PR, need to see actual stats on last day of registration. If no chance then backup would be Marymount Convent at 2C, sure in.

My gut feel is no chance for PR from 2022. SMPS is expected to move back to their original address in 2022 after completion of their renovation. New and upgraded facilities, as well as removal of one big bugbear (far location of temp site), will surely see new / renew interest from SC.

Marymount Convent is also not a guaranteed for PR, especially for PR > 2km, as it is subjected to a PR quota for Phase 2C and 2CS. Notwithstanding, it’s a good recommendation if affiliation is not critical.

Thank you Davischew and floppy for your replies. Seems like SMPS might be out for us then, we will probably look into Marymount Convent and see if we can relocate to get a better chance.

@coast - sorry for the delayed response.

Wishing you a belated Happy Lunar New Year!

Your link is most informative. Now we have a better sense on how affiliation works.

Many thanks!

Hi parents, anyone with their DDs in the holding site now? How is the commute and how is the place? The girls have been there for a year already… Thanks.

Hi


My girl will be going for P1 registration next year. We are citizens and we plan to shift to within 2km of SMPS. Do we have a chance? Or we need to go to within 1km?

Thank you
