7 New IP schools
-
jtoh:
The IP is to stem brain drain. But with this arrangement, I also do not think it will solve the brain drain problem. The better ones will still leave SCGS. But SCGS will become a even more popular school for P1 registration since there is a safety net now. The P still has a tough battle to fight.
I'm thinking there might be more of a brain drain now from SCGS because the IP programme isn't that attractive and students will start thinking of leaving for even MGS or Cedar if they can't make RGS/NYGH. At least for the pioneer batch until the new JC proves itself.mrschan:
Dun get me wrong. I am not implying that sngs and cat high quality is not on par with scgs. I wouldjust prefer a partnership with a more estb institute. I noe how it is to be a poineering batch. Yes it is exciting and challenging but it can also be distracting and disorganised.
I guess SC's hands are tied. On one hand we want Ip status badly to stem brain drain yet on the other hand we have no affiliation to any jcs. So I guess we have to make do with this solution. Sigh... -
ApronMama:
that will still be Catholic vs non-religious, same as the current proposal
Currently NJC already has more girls than boys, 2:1 , I heard. May be scgs can pair up wiht SJI at yr 5&6.Nebbermind:
why can't they lump the Cath schs together and do IB from yr5 on.
SCGS can lump with NJC since abt the same location and both non-religious. -

some SAP schools single session for P1 & P2 are at 30 kids per classthis thread is so \"HOT\" now. :x
i wanted to post some query but don't know where to post. Pls pardon me for the Off-Topic.
In Dr Ng EH's speech http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/speeches/2010/09/01/opening-remarks-national-day-rally-media-conference.php
he mentions that \"The pupil to teacher ratio will be improved as we increase the teaching force. From 20:1 in 2009 to 15:1 in 2015 for primary schools and 17:1 to 14:1 for secondary schools. \"
:? Is he talking about class size? Is he refering to GEP classes or IP-schs? My DS in neighbourhood pri sch never see ratio of less than 30:1. My DD in Sec 1 is ratio of 40:1. Did i misread / misunderstand that sentence?
Can anyone enlighten? Tks!
even for GEP class, it is max 25 per class -
Religion aside, the marriage among CHS, SNGS and SCGS may not be all strange. It is not true that all SCGS girls do not speak Chinese. Many SC girls ends up in HCI every year. I would love to have SCGS marry to HCI but HCI is already married.
What it surprises me is… CHS is allowed to marry 2…:-) -

The principal of scgs is a proven leader having worked with the current principal of cat high during her successful stinct at xinmin. The board of scgs must have taken all factors into consideration. Should await details from moe regarding the new jc. The current principals of st nick and cat high are highly capable and these three leaders are able to draw on their experiences to come out with new initiatives for the students. No worries.
o i c
good news indeed then -
Cat high’s principal lee hak boon, is an educational leader with outstanding track record. He was instrumental in positioning xinmin sec from nowhere to one of the top neighbourhood sec schs. Together with current scgs’sprincipal, xinmin had won value award for ten straight years. Look at how lee hak boon has propelled cat high to pole position. Plus the highly rated principal of st nick, there’s no cause for concern. Anyway, unis and scholarship boards do not bother which jc you are from.

But who's running the JC? That's the important question. And will it mean that the three schools will coordinate their programmes so that they dovetail at the JC level? -

I've so many questions about the new JC too. Where will it be? Why not just merge with NJC which is not too far from these three schools? With a declining birthrate, should we still be building more JCs?
