Our Affliation COP (St Nick) for the Secondary O-level track, is .... AL 14

Question

If a P6 St Nick primary school student has failed her PSLE subject Standard Chinese (pu hua),
Eg.

let's say this pupil had scored AL 8, in her PSLE (Standard Chinese)

but
had scored an AL 1 for each of her PSLE subjects (English, Maths, Science),

can this pupil then
still be able to go back to her affliated St Nick Secondary (O level) track, inspite of having failed her PSLE Chinese ?

Answer
Yes
On condition that, as long as she is still able to meet her Affliation COP, at AL 14.

In this case,
her PSLE score is
(3 + 8 points), equal AL 11.

AL 11 still falls within AL 14.
So, Yes,
this P6 student is still able to go back to her affliated St Nick Secondary (O level track),
provided she has put St Nick (O-level) as her #1 school,
for the purpose of enjoying the privileged \"Affliation\" status, inside her listing of making Secondary schools' choices.

COP : Cut off point


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

Based on AL PSLE marking scheme :-


AL 6 : (45 to 64) marks.

Do you notice that actually,
this range is very wide ?


AL 7 : (20 to 44) marks


AL 8 : below 20 marks

Hi, does anyone have any idea if there are fixed number of classes in the express stream? Were there students who were balloted out despite meeting the cut off point AL14?

1)

For Secondary 1 intake,
our dual-track school fix our classes to

( five IP classes, plus
another five O-level ) Sec 1 classes.


At end of Sec 2,
when come to choosing new Sec 3 subject combination,
then
the O-level track (OP) will open up one more extra new class, become Total 6 OP classes.

Example

If you refer to last year 2022 Sec 3, you can check (count) that there are Total 6 OP classes.

Don't forget that
at end of Sec 2,
St Nick does take in new Transfer students, coming in from other Secondary schools as well, after these external students have sat for entrance tests for admission to assesss their suitability, at the end of Sec 2.

But,
for year 3 IP, no change.
Still remain at original Total : five IP classes.


2) best to clarify with our school Principal / VP,

regarding your question
whether at the Affliation Cut off point of AL 14 -

is there any St Nick affliated P6 student who got balloted out at AL 14, even if they had put O-level (St Nick) as their first choice, right at the Top of the listing of making their 6 Secondary school choices ?

Only she, the Principal, knows.
Or the VP.
These are the right people, to advise you.

By the way,
briefing for parents, is going to take place soon. Past two years, due to covid, they held it online (zoom).
You may pose this question, to Principal on parents' briefing day, if you are keen.


However,
Parliament did mention before that all affliated schools in Singapore -

must set aside
20% of their Secondary 1 intake,
to Non-affliated external students, coming in from other schools as well. Cannot let these affliated schools to become \"closed up\" schools, ie. to prevent shutting off external students from other schools, to join us.

For old girls under Phase 2A,

from ex St Nick (Primary + Secondary) "Full" schools,

once your 6 year old K2 daughter is a SC living beyond 2 km,

there is no guarantee that she can come back to St Nick safely, if balloted out unluckily.
So,
need to prepare a backup school for Phase 2B or 2C, just in case.

Hihi, just wondering… any of your girls entering P1 next year to st nicks? Any parents whatsapp or telegram chat?

[Ballerinaflats]

Hi parents


Any idea if there is streaming for P2 students as they move up to P3. If so, what criteria do they base on? TIA
