ALL Have GOOD history and very established schools. can give those current IP school a good run for their money… especially those Independent ones… & i guess VS/Cedar and most would STILL remain GOVT schools… as per current… affordable fees! or less wealthy parents

only Cedar & VS is government school, right ? the rest are Catholic / Methodist / and SCGS is non-religious aided school

Is good news anyway!


The mentioned schools have lots of students qualifying for IP but instead choosen those schools for many reasons.

The standards of students are actually comparable to current IP schools.

..... i mean schools like mgs and scgs dont exactly get band one ....., and Catholic High fluctuates also btw 1,2,3 bands

tanbh:

... 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 am also a newbie in this. I am not sure how and from where you dictate that MGS and SCGS don’t exactly get band one and that Catholic High fluctuates also between 1,2,3 bands

Look at the research done by VC's mum,

Based on 2009 \"O\" level results
1. Anderson Sec - 10.4
2. Catholic High - 9.1 / 343 candidates
3. Crescent Girls' - Don't know
4. Nan Chiau High - 10.9
5. St. Joseph Institution - 10.8
6. Victoria Sch - 10.7


Based on \"O\" level results from 2003 to 2008 with schools that had attained band 1 status

Cedar: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
CHIJ St Nic: 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
SCGS: 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Anglican High : 2004
Catholic High: 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Victoria: 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Anderson: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Crescent Girls: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Xinmin: 2005, 2006, 2007
Chung Cheng High (Main): 2006
MGS: 2006, 2007, 2008
SJI: 2007, 2008, 2009
TKGS: 2007, 2008
Zhonghua: 2007
Bukit Panjang Govt High: 2008

In particular for Catholic High, since the change of principal to the current, Mr Lee Hak Boon, the school has not scored anything more than the L1R5 of 10. The fact that the school was able to achieve the L1R5 of 9.1 in 2009 ‘O’ Level alone is already making me doubt the authenticity of your data.

If also wiki on Catholic High, the school has produced more than 20 President's Scholars and numerous recipients of other scholarships. Many of its alumni are leaders in the public and private sectors. Look at the school's many achievements past and present, why shouldn't the school be granted the IP status?

Not taking side with any school nor opposing any. In site like this, I think it’s only wise to check the accuracy of data before advising. Surely you don’t want to mislead others? No offence intended.
