CHIJ St Nicholas Girls'

[kittymama]

Thank you @ ResilienceLC for the assurance!


Just curious, do any existing or ex parents of SNGS girls have any idea how is the support for students with special needs in the school? For example, dyslexia.

I can’t recall if we had any back in my schooling days.

[phtthp]

For lower primary


(P1 and P2) and from mid (P3 to upper P6) -

for students who encountered difficulty in learning :
eg.

- autistic

- dyslexic

- encountered Chinese language learning impairment / disability

- attention deficit ADD

- very short concentration attention span ADHD ,


what kind of support (If any), does SNGS primary school provide,

apart from
giving these affected students

extended longer exam time period,

to complete their test papers (during CA1 / SA1 / SA2), seated
inside certain designated small assigned room ?

===========================



For pupils who encountered learning Chinese language impairment mid-way through in SNGS,
not yet discovered nor diagnosed in P1 nor P2 yet, only got diagnosed from P3 to P5 time period,

does it mean that the pupil have to leave SNGS, seek transfer to some other primary school instead, since SNGS is a SAP school, where learning Chinese is compulsory

Or

still allowed to remain inside SNGS, exempted from Chinese ?

MOE's requirement for Higher MT under AL system is fixed.
It is:

a) AL 8 or

b) AL 14 (or better) plus

either

i) AL 1 or AL 2 in MT

or

ii) Merit or Distinction in HMT.

https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/psle/new-psle-scoring-system.html

================================


All 2021 P6 PSLE SNGS pupils (born 2009), please take note.

Under the old Tscore system (up to Year 2020), below was the old criteria.

Pupils who offer Mother Tongue language (MTL)
(ie. Chinese / Malay / Tamil)

or

HMTL
(ie. Higher Chinese / Higher Malay / Higher Tamil) at the PSLE And

1) are ranked amongst the Top 10% of the PSLE

OR


2) are in the Top (11% to 30%) band who meet the language criteria
(Ie. an A* grade in the MTL

Or
at least a Merit in the HMTL) -

may opt to study HMTL at Secondary schools.

By comparing both set of criteria,
is pretty clear that

a)
Top 10 % PSLE cohort :

Cut-off at
AL 8 points

Vs.

Cut-off at
around Tscore 252,

Because (reasoning behind)

In past years, if scored 252 & above, PSLE students qualified to study Third foreign language at Bishan / Newton MOELC in

Japanese / Spanish / French / German


b)
Top 30% PSLE cohort :

Cut off at : AL 14 points

During last Friday MTP, there was no additional information on the new AL affiliated cutoff score until MOE announcement next year.

However
P did mention that parent can refer to the new HCL eligibility benchmark for ≤ 8 total AL score & 9 -14 total AL score as a guide for the top 10% and top 30%, under the new system.

the Top 10% PSLE cohort Cut-off has already been fixed by MOE, to be at AL ...

8 points,

Read that part under Higher Mother Tongue section

https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/psle/new-psle-scoring-system.html


AL 8 points (Top 10% PSLE cohort Cut-off)

is equivalent to
around 252, under the old Tscore system

Because

in most of the past years, PSLE students with 252 and above, qualified to study at MOELC (Bishan / Newton)
3rd foreign language

Japanese / Spanish / French / German


Today, MOE still hasn't published any info regarding what is St Nick Affliation Cut off point, going to be. News will of be out, by end of June (Term 2). So, we just wait. Probably after 2021 P6 mid year SA1 exam is over in the later part of May month, MOE might announce.

However, let's take a look at this special AL \" 8 \" points, which is the 10% Cut off PSLE cohort, been fixed by MOE.

Now, let's just assume
suppose ....

St Nick were to give 2 discounted points affliation at AL 10,
that means those SNGS affliated
students with AL 10 still can come back to study O-level Secondary, that's great, isn't it ?

But of course, this is just an assumption only. Until we hear the actual announcement, from MOE till then...

I think it is not the “2021 new PSLE AL COP for affiliation students”. The link shows it is what the students who sat for the PSLE in 2020 got.

The current students in the primary section will know the AMR through the school.

[j0scelin]

any ways to increase the chance of getting selected for PV?

One parent reported that for Primary 1 registration this year (2021), under Phase 1 (siblings) itself alone,


already got 93 girls registered. Indeed, a very high number of \" Phase 1\" girls, been enrolled !


As such,
we also kind of expecting 2A (1) Alumni phase to ballot too, this year.


93 pupils (girls) have been enrolled in Phase 1 (2021), source of info :-
