7 New IP schools
-
Vanilla Cake:
One reason would be loyalty and fondness for their own school. Students who've spent 6 years in the primary school are torn about leaving their school.
Care to share the many reasons for choosing these mentioned schools even though there are lots of students that are qualified for IP?happymum8:
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.

Students want O level cert.
Cause if IP then do badly/fail A level,
got no cert.
So O level cert then will have something to fall back on -

(III) Expansion of the Integrated Programme
The Integrated Programme (IP) was introduced to provide clearly university-bound students with a broader educational experience. The initial batches of IP4 graduates have performed well. The feedback from IP students is that they enjoy the learning environment which has allowed them to stretch their intellectual potential, while equipping them for self-directed learning. MOE will expand the IP so that more university-bound students will benefit from an enriched educational experience.
MOE will expand the Integrated Programme to seven more secondary schools, namely, Victoria School, Cedar Girls’ Secondary School, Methodist Girls’ School, Catholic High School, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, and St. Joseph’s Institution. These new IP schools will offer both IP and O-Level tracks, so that late-bloomers or those who find themselves better suited for the O-Level track can make lateral transfers. Temasek Junior College will also extend its four-year IP to a six-year programme beginning in Secondary 1. The expansion of the IP landscape, which will take effect from 2012 onwards, will allow our top talent to be nurtured in a more diverse group of schools.
Victoria School and Cedar Girls’ Secondary School will partner Victoria Junior College, and Methodist Girls’ School will partner Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) to offer the IP. St. Joseph’s Institution will expand to offer a six-year programme leading to the International Baccalaureate.
IP students from Catholic High School, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School and Singapore Chinese Girls’ School will progress to a new Government junior college to be set up by 2017. Details on the new junior college will be provided later.
Students who wish to join the IP after some time in their secondary schools can also apply to these new IP schools at Secondary 3. There will continue to be sufficient access for non-IP students to enter the various junior colleges that will have IP student intakes. -

tanbh:
it was insanityfilledgleams that wrote \"schools like mgs and scgs and cedar dont exactly get band one\" NOT me, i didnt really know how to QUOTE and make the my quote of his comment WHITE (on PAGE 27 i think) so you likely thought i said that... as for Cath High issue , i already replied and explained earlier....insanityfilledgleams wrote:
crescent has been in band one for five years already,so why isnt it a hot choice???? i mean schools like mgs and scgs and cedar dont exactly get band one
i am a newbie here, but please do note that CEDAR is the only school that NEVER EVER missed BAND 1 in the ranking of School with O level students,,, SINCE it started in 2003 (i think), almost all other Schools like Victoria School, St. Nick, and even MSG missed at least 1 time (drop to 2 or 3) of course... the girls school did better than then Boys schools... VS is the better one already i think 5 years consecutive already... i think... SJI just attained band1 only Recently and only 1 time only (at most twice), and Catholic High fluctuates also btw 1,2,3 bands
