Seems like a hidden gem.

I do, however, find the data on St. Stephen’s an abnormality.
I agree for SSS. If you're a parent who cares about sec school affiliation, SSS is affiliated to two schools (SJI, St Pat's) which provides your kid optionality in future.cinnamonerry\" post_id=\"2033284\" time=\"1628171059\" user_id=\"136121:

hidden gems just like MCS
This info may be quite dated (Jan 2017) but slides seem to suggest that the 25% qualified to enter SJI Sec from SSS is comparable to those who make it to SJI Sec from SJIJ.

Hi Jolly Parents,
To the best of my understanding, the number of boys making the cut from SJIJ to SJI is about a quarter of the cohort; the cut off PSLE T-score being 238.
SJI sets aside places for a percentage of the boys coming in from feeder schools (SJIJ, DLSS, SAPS and SSS). Of course some of they boys may opt for different schools (e.g. RI or HCI) if they qualify. Some may opt for St Patrick's which has a lower cut off T-score.
Primary 4 boys this year and younger will be transitioning into the new system where entry into a secondary school of your choice will be based on \"Achievement Levels\" or bands similar to the O' Level format. So for instance, if a student scores 90 and above for any of his 4 subjects, he will get an AL score of 1 for that subject. 85 to 89 marks will render an AL score of 2. So the min number of points score one can get is 4. The maximum number of points is 32 (I believe there are 8 Achievement Levels).
Not too sure how this is going to affect the percentage of students coming in from feeder schools based on the new system. Got to wait and see from the experience of the first batch.
Interest in SJIJ is always high, and in recent years, running close to or balloting for SC < 1km in Phase 2C. Yet, SSS which shares exactly the same affiliation, carries extra places into Phase 2CS every year. If we put aside the differences in locality, there’s really no reason why that should happen. -

They would need to fix De La Salle as well (although SSS seems to be oddest one) :lol:
You have to give it to ACS for being consistent in promoting the “ACS family”. It’s a lot easier to understand and comprehend (for layman) than being a part of the Lasallian family. -
Wow thanks guys. I didn’t know SSS is affiliated to SJI (only know about St Pat). This discussion may be too late for good resource for those who needs to consider 2CS or future years application. The reason why I got curious is because I can’t believe there’s no parents interest in them. I mean if I were to scan the 2cs list, the schools (SSS and Montfort) stands out immediately.

1) It's a backup for many who try SJIJ first
2) Location - low population density, couple with
3) being a boy's school - already less people around the school, and those with girls may pass -
Any chance any schools will reveal the balloting distance now that registration is closed?

Besides the location, i suppose the many so called “good schools” around the area (and coed) are tempting for prents to try.

Its not only St Stephen’s but there is also CHIJ Katong and St Anthony’s Cannosian are all schools that goes into 2CS each year. -

My cousin attended it in the 1980s, it wasn’t that popular. After re-named to SJI x, suddenly Catholics viewed it as “better” than the other Catholic boys schools.

They had an idea and came up with a JTP (Josephian Talent Prigramme) to develop top pupils in the school so they can continue into SJI. Hence the name changed.Orb\" post_id=\"2033318\" time=\"1628208703\" user_id=\"25015:

The idea was also to open it up to the other 3 affiliated schools as well. But it didnt take off and the programme was scrapped but the name wasnt. Lolx -

You can always try to call the school to ask but chances are they are probably really still in the process of validating the applications and might not even be able to give an accurate number themselves.

Shower thoughts: why can't the schools leave out some documents until AFTER the student is confirmed in the school?
National vaccination certs can be sorted out AFTER the exercise and it'll probably help reduce the workload and repeat /redundancy work that admin needs to do.
