..... 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.

They alll have Affliated JC . What will happen to JC... Offer places to other School O levels... Then L1R5 will drop

I know of many boys getting into RI with lower PSLE 24+ (DSA thru sports) compared to those at VS which has higher aggregate 25+.

oh shit... yeah hor... SCGS how?? govt or not? i dont know leh[/quote]SCGS is NOT government school, being founded by chinese towkay to provide education to the chinese girls who are poor....hence 'SCGS'


SCGS was founded as an all-girls Peranakan school in July 1899 by a group of Straits Chinese individuals including Dr Lim Boon Keng and Sir Song Ong Siang, at premises in Hill Street, with an English headmistress and seven girls on the register.

In 1923, the school left its premises at Hill Street (the site later became the Central Fire Station) and moved to Emerald Hill.

From 1905 to 1936, the school admitted a handful of male students, but afterwards reverted to being an all-girls school.

In 1994, after 70 years at Emerald Hill, the school moved a newly-built campus at Dunearn Road

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.

so there will be a drop in number of students going to Raffles group & Hwa Chong Group, DHS, RV, NUSH, ACS...

So I think some of the affiliated schools can at least retain their top PSLE scorers this year. Or some of the top scorers will drop the DSA offers from the original IP schools in order to remain in their affiliated schools.

Yes, they didn't mention in ST. But probably bc the fact that the president scholar came from CJC was so shocking to the reporter that he only reported that and forgot about which sec school that boy came from already. haha.

It was reported on the CHS' website too.
