hi, I'm new here
I understand that Victoria offers AEP. My son loves to draw and i think he has an inclination towards it
Understand that the COP for last year was 250.
He's quite good in Eng and Science but afraid that his Chinese may pull his score down. Just in case his agg is say 24+ and let's say he's not accepted base on the score, can we appeal base on his art ?
I understand that currently only 6 schools offer AEP - 3 are girls school, 1 is HWA CHONG. So we're left with only VICTORIA & ZHONG HUA.
I live in the east & Victoria being a boys school with soccer as CCA, I think DS will enjoy his studies Only worried now is it may be too tough for him to make it. He's in P4 now but really hope that he can get into a school 2 years later that can have him work on his Art -
mistychances:
VS last year COP was 245, not 250. But still u need to score above average to get into this school. 245 was around top 15% of last year PSLE cohort. This is a very good school and I like this school very much although my DS is not studying there, nor I am related to VS.hi, I'm new here

er what's your point? :?
err, i assume parents may like to know where some prominent leaders - be it military, political, perm secretary etc are from which school and what they did there in terms of CCA (ECA) ...
General Neo is from Victoria School and is NCC cadet interested in military / defence matters in foundation secondary school years. I should had added this under Sec Schools' sub section, but added here by mistake and administrator helped me transfer it here...:oops: i may CC another post to Sec SChool section when free... -
Major General Neo Kian Hong (former Chief of Army) and current Chief of Defence Force (head of all SAF's 3 services of Army Airforce, Navy ) or 三军总长 was a NCC cadet during his Victoria School days.

unlike other typical SAF (Overseas) Scholars [SAFOS] who became Colonels or Generals relatively quickly but almost non have Special operations/Special forces training or background, General Neo is Singapore's first ever Chief of Defence Force to be Ranger-qualified (earlier on he was Singapore's first ever Chief of Army / Service Chief to be Ranger-qualified). General Neo is also a Guards (Khaki beret) officer -

"
what a relief… newly announced IP programme brings Cedar Girls to the Victoria family, which Victoria School started in 1876.
now we dont need worry some govt appointed VS/VJC principal forcing us to go co-ed from Sec 1 to 4… and (hopefully) dont need worry about VS and VJC competing for students…
when first hea…rd VS and Cedar is confirmed (on Straits Times) as new IP schools on 30 …Aug…, my 1st worry is that VS might go IP separately, while happy VS doing IP and can keep retaining better students, i do worry that would put us in direct Competition with VJC (similar as IF VJC started the last year proposed "6yr IP") …
this outcome is the best for all 3 schools , VS need not go Co-ed & with IP status can ensure VS continue to attract top boys students (while maintaining O level options), Cedar tie up with VJC , & VJC can have feeder schools with good IP students from VS and Cedar in future (and VS - VJC dont compete for students!)" -
Does it really make a difference? :? VS has already been feeding those who have done well in sec 1 and 2 to VJC for IP program. The only difference may be more boys will be given a chance to do IP. For weaker students, they still have to take the O level instead. In fact, if the boys are given the option to do IP when they enter sec 1 next year, does it mean that by sec 3 they can opt out if they don't have the cut while other boys will be given the place instead? If this is the case, the present system of choosing sec2 boys for the IP in VJC is less disruptive. Unless of course, they do away with the present system. I'm
that DS3 get chosen for the program next year and doesn't lose the chance due to the new changes. :xedfingers:
