7 New IP schools

WeiHan:

I read one the ACS primary school presentation slides. They actually tell their GEP students not to choose certain IP schools like RV because it has no experience with GEP students?!

Maybe also because ACS are more ang mo pies and RV is very obvious a 墨水 school. :lol:

One of this year president scholar was from Cedar Girls and left for VJC in sec 3. But for the case of CHS...they didn't retain most of their primary school top scorers even before IP system was introduced.

I have also heard of RVians left for other JCs after year 3. For what reason, I not sure. I guess, no matter which schools, there are students hopping around.

Ultimately, the affection and loyalty students have towards the school also play a part.

But academic consideration is the foremost, I'' think. Most likely the student concerned think that he/she can do better in the other school.

Maybe you are more pragmatic than your child would be. You'd find that girls are more likely to stay with their affiliated schools than boys. Even the top scorers will go on to their affiliated sec sch(eg. SNGS) instead of RGS for example as compared to a boy in a similar school.(eg. CHS).

Hopefully as soon as possible as DD2 will be taking PSLE 2011. Read http://talkback.stomp.com.sg/forums/showthread.php?t=109575 in another forum. It's interesting to find out whether http://www.scgs.edu.sg/ is one of the 7 new IP schools chosen. Which JC would be the partner or whether they remain in an all girls environment to continue year 5 and year 6 aka senior high/JC in the same school?

Thanks.
