Cedar Girls Secondary School

[Knap]

My dd scored AL8 and we are thinking of applying cedar IP (cop 8). Does anyone know if balloting was conducted on cop 8 last few years?

Hi..my daughter got AL 9, and she hopes to apply for Cedar. She is good in her presentation skills - both English and Chinese (her mom is Chinese but she is Singaporean). She is quite well-rounded.

Do you think I should contact Cedar's Principal to highlight my daughter's talent in the hope that he considers her application favorably? Her second choice is Crescent. Thanks, Tony.

MOE has since made this announcement publicly, for several past years, so it has become general knowledge to all parents + students, already that :-

PSLE students to appeal for that Secondary school that you are keen in, you can fill up the \"Appeal\" Application form

Provided (on condition)

the PSLE student have met the official Cut off point, for that particular school. NO appeal to be entertained, if the student has failed to meet the official Cut off point. Principals in all primary schools in Singapore would also have informed all their 2023 P6 students batch, during the PSLE briefing on how \"posting to Secondary schools, take place\" inside their school hall.

Example
=======

1) in certain past years (batches), Yes, Cedar O level track ever hit AL 9, before.

This year (2023), only on S1 posting release announcement day, will u know the actual COP (for Cedar O level track).

So,
if this year COP for Cedar O-level track also happen to be AL 9, for those students who have scored AL 9 but got balloted out due to insufficient remaining vacancies left behind to meet the demand, they can proceed to appeal,
provided
vacancies still remain inside the O level track, for appeal to take place.

However, if no vacancy exist, then Sorry, Cedar Girls' Secondary school will Not accept nor entertain any request for Appeal.


2) Cedar Girls' IP track Cut off point.

AL system started in 2020, for pioneers born in that year 2008.

For past PSLE years of covid (2020, 2021, 2022), Cedar Girls' Sec school's Cut off point for IP track, was at AL 8 points ? Was there a year whereby the IP track COP was at ... AL 9 points ?

Correct me, If I am wrong.
Don't think (recall) so.
Thus, armed with AL 9, Sorry, failed to qualify for IP track (Cedar), unless ...

a miracle happen this year (2023).

What's the COP for Cedar? If 1 point fall short, maybe can try?

MOE already announced publicly in the Straits Times and on MOE website publicly that

All PSLE students must have met the Secondary school's official Cut off point, for that particular, specific curriculum track (either IP / O level), before you can start appealing.

Answer (reply), to your above comment -

If you (PSLE student) fall short of one point for that particular, unique curriculum track, Sorry, No appeal will be entertained.

Under the rules, you can only appeal if AL9 is the cut off point (i.e. your child must meet the COP), so you have to wait till the posting results are out, and see what the COP is this year. If you choose to appeal, it's still subject to school policies and vacancies.

With AL 9, my daughter is target Cedar O Level. If she fails to secure a spot there and wishes to appeal, would she need to provide an essay to explain and will there be an interview? Thanks.

Hello all,

Are there Cedarian parents whose children got AL8 and got into IP in the last 3 years being Singapore PR? Is it a safe bet to try with the first choice and second choice as TJC? Please advise.

Can try cedar as first choice follow by tjc as second, the third you have to play safe already..

[ksk123]

Yep, thinking to go with Cedar O level as 3rd choice. I am just wondering does putting TJC as 1st instead of Cedar IP to ensure IP? looking for parents who had this kind of situation.

Also make sense if you really want ip buy I hope you are aware tjc will move to previous tampines jc for 4years before move back to tjc..

I also place cedar o track as my 3rd choice after cedar ip as 2nd..

Safe bet or not,
It all depends on what is the cut off point Temasek JC (IP) is, for this year (2023).

Scenario 1
=========

In one year, the Cut off point for TJC was AL 8 points, not AL 9. So, if for example, suppose this year, say, COP for TJC is 8 points, also the same as Cedar Girls (IP), doesn't matter whether u put IP (Temasek JC or Cedar Girls) as your first choice, because

in the event demand exceeded the remaining supply of vacancies left behind at the Cut off point or at the exact Cut off boundary, then,

balloting will arise for those who have scored AL 8 points, going by citizenship.

Scenario 2
=========

However, if suppose this year (2023), say, the COP for Temasek JC is AL 9 points. Then, your daughter armed with 8 points, will be admitted in.
