It is stranger for SCGS to merge with St Nic and CHS.....but this should make CHS boys over the moon and Nic gals see red, then green.....
(couldn't resist this ....lol)
This is certainly a strange arrangement. But to me is not so much of the culture or religion aspects since Singapore is a multiracial, multi-religious country. The thing that I am more concern is whether it will be a homogeneous group with similar standard.
Correct me if my info is wrong. The COP for affiliated students to get into CHS and St Nick is around 230-235 each year whereas SCGS is 200. There is a 30 to 35 points different. Unless they adjust the COP to be around the same, otherwise it could be quite difficult for them to achieve similar standard in year 5. -

It has been recently announced that wadeva u say online can be used against you legally in court.
:shock: I am so sorry......I didn't know that I can be sued because someone else lost his gf.
:lol: -
There is no affiliation for IP track, strictly based on merits. So it will not be cut off at 200 or 230. I think the cut off for IP could be higher than 255.

sji boys liddat one ah? :? :laugh:
. Pls be more respectful wif ur words. I am an old sji boy and maintaining traditions have got nothing to do with gf. Besides, getting involved in bgr relationships at their age is impractical and unwise, if you are a sensible parent, you would not post such remarks. Besides, coming from ur viewpoint, sji boys are much more cultured and presentable as compared to CH boys. It has been recently announced that wadeva u say online can be used against you legally in court.WeiHan:
You all keep talking about CHS...
Now they have two girl friends...can yaya liao if they see SJI boys.
Everybody has one girl friend, CHS has two....SJI zero girl friend, so loogi and malu. maintain what tradition? MOE can easily nudge them into accepting scgs by using this psycholical tactic. -

Like what someone else mentioned earlier on, we are all matured enough to know what is a joke, no need to threaten to take people to court.
My hubby is a old boy of SJI, when i told him about the joke about CHS having 2 gfs and SJI having none, he had such a good laugh and said, nevermind, we are such great guys that we can have gfs out of school. If possible I will like to send my sons to SJI but I hope they don't take everything so literally and have a sense of humour. -

Here is the list of COPs for SCGS, St Nicholas and Catholic HIgh, both non-affiliated and affiliated, for PSLE 2009:
This is certainly a strange arrangement. But to me is not so much of the culture or religion aspects since Singapore is a multiracial, multi-religious country. The thing that I am more concern is whether it will be a homogeneous group with similar standard.
Correct me if my info is wrong. The COP for affiliated students to get into CHS and St Nick is around 230-235 each year whereas SCGS is 200. There is a 30 to 35 points different. Unless they adjust the COP to be around the same, otherwise it could be quite difficult for them to achieve similar standard in year 5.
The non-affiliated COPs for 2009 are:
School Lower Higher Mean Median
SCGS 251 268 254 254
Catholic High 248 262 252 252
St Nicholas 247 266 252 252
The Affiliated COPs for 2009 are:
School Lower Higher Mean Median
SCGS 201 263 234 234
Catholic High 225 260 239 237
St Nicholas 213 264 237 239
As the IP path is for selected better performing students in these schools, it is more accurate to look at the COP for non-affiliated rather than affiliated students. From the stats, it's clear that SCGS has a higher COP in this regard, with slightly higher mean and median as well.
With the affiliated COPs, it's harder to make a comparison because all the schools have different COPs for old students. But their means and medians are all at about 23+, and top students scores at between 260-264. Also note that SCGS will be raising its COP for affiliated students to 210 this year and 220 next year. Hence, all the COPs for SCGS affiliated will go up in the next few years.
As such, the schools are comparable academically. And I would say that SCGS looks academically stronger, especially with its increase in affiliated COP in the next two years. -
I notice that among the new IP schools, SJI will be joining ACS (indep) and MGS to offer IB, instead of A level. I have been told that IB is "broad" while A level is "deep". Is this true? Where can I find info on IB?
