And quite importantly, the culture of the schools too. I know some are “competitive”, some adopt “mean doctrine”, some are “conventional”. And Teen years are formatives period for our child.


My colleague said it is a competitive world out there so it’s better to prepare our child and expose them to a competitive study environment now. But isn’t it better to work with someone who can compete, and also compromise and cooperate sometimes with you too?

...Anyone know for sure where... Nan Hua High ended up? NHHS appeal form only says \"11\" (Indicative COP of AL11(D))...

Hi, Nhhs GO told me it's 11(P)

I would say it is quite subjective. There is no better or worse, it's just parents' perception that \"we think\" what's best for kids. it is always ideal to be with people who are competitive and at the same time cooperative & helpful, however real life is always not perfect and we should use our experience to conclude: which one is more important for my kid.

Understand. I was trying to list down the different subgroups possible. So AL6 is not a good example.

In computer logic, you will still need to list down all the subgroups, anyway. Nothing wrong with that.

Seems like this year no one compiling the COP for Sec schools?

The summary of COP for school is on another thread : \"2021 PSLE Discussions and Strategies\"(Children born in 2009).

I wonder when MOE will update their School Finder website with this year’s actual COPs? Usually April/May? In time for next DSA season?


I understand most KSPs reported/called up schools for IP COPs, but I’d like to compile the non-IP schools for the rest of us mere mortals.

[ChiefKiasu]

Well, there will be plenty of time for MOE to do that. Anyway, we are not in a hurry

[zac's mum]

Just wondering whether there were any big shocks, especially further down the tiers.


I know the news outlets reported MOE as saying “most” schools did not veer more than 1 point off the indicative COP, but how “most is most”? What was the largest drop or rise? Would be interesting to know.

Some people on MOE’s FB were furious to be posted to a school NOT in one of the list of 6 choices, and out of their neighborhood. I wonder what happened there…
