7 New IP schools

[Vanilla Cake]

WeiHan:

But there is already precedence that selection of IP school is not based purely on academic results. ACSI wasn't even in the top 10 list before they got their IP status. I think MOE also consider the school strength in putting up a good viable programme.

Based on info from MOE's website:

Ranking of ACS(I) from 1994 to 2002 based on \"O\" level results
1994: 11th placing - 2.50/393
1995: 12th placing - 2.50/416
1996: 14th placing - 12.2/445
1997: 14th placing - 12.4/436
1998: 8th placing - 11.3/436
1999: 10th placing - 11.5/447
2000: 10th placing - 11.5/437
2001: 9th placing - 11.0/422
2002: 9th placing - 11.5/444

No ranking for them from 2003 onwards due to their IP status.

if score 25+ or higher end of 24+ to and family not rich ... consider go Victoria School (if a guy)... heard from news reports that it is a reason why they dont go independent when they could have in the earlier days.... because they want to remain a \"commoner's school\" (dont wish student to pay independent school fees) & not just get the very best of the best -- that could be tuition trained....


if google or wiki Victoria Sch also produced 3 Presidents of S'pore , 2 Chief of Defence Force (head of Whole SAF, Singapore's only 3-Star General) - including e Current 1, a former Chief of Air Force , temasek Holdings Chairman/ex Full Cabinet Minister....

I believe in this batch of 7 new IP sec, there will be some govt sec schs, in addition to the indept schs. In addition, with the addition of these 7 new IP schs, who is to say that the existing batch of IP schs may not lower COP entry standard? Eg. RV is far for most except those staying in Boon Lay. With the introduction of these new IP sec, maybe more kids will opt for the new IP sec and RV COP might drop.

that is what I thought. Some schools' COP will drop with the 7 new IP schools coming up

Which are the original IP schools' COP that will drop after the introduction of these 7 new IP schools?

Another question. Why is TJC's 4-year http://www.tjc.edu.sg/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8&Itemid=30 not extended downards like NJC for a 6-year through IP?
Physical space constraint, manpower logistic problems?

I don't know whether SNGS will be in the line-up of the 7 new IP schools, but this is one school that will not be expensive. Is Cedar Girls' the same? CHS is also one of the S$20/mth schools, like NJC.

VC's mum[/quote]I guess DH and maybe even NJC's COP will drop. Currently, many girls with high PSLE scores but missed RGS and NYGH COP join them. With SCGS, MGS and St Nick getting to implement IP (if our guesses are right), I think some of these girls will choose these new IP schools.

VC's mum[/quote]That would be anyone's guess. I supposed it will be known when the new IP sec schs start operating and MOE subsequently release the COP of each sch after the PSLE S1 posting.

I personally think Temasek Academy will extend to Sec 1 intake in time to come - not sure what is not ready yet. Esp with the addition of 7 new IP sec, Temasek Academy should really consider this move.

This is really demand/supply. So have to wait and see.
