Special Award
SEA \tSchool Excellence Award
SDA\tSchool Distinction Award
\t
Level Two Award\t
ODA \tOutstanding Development Award
BPA\tBest Practice Award
SAA \tSustained Achievement Award
Level One Award
DA Development Award
AA Achievement Award[/quote]What you've quoted is the legend for the symbols used in the table. The awards actually achieved by the school is indicated in the blue table on the left. So for eg. for CHS, you'll see under Special Awards a medal-like symbol, which indicates CHS won a School Distinction Award. (Refer to the legend for what the symbols indicate). If the school had won a School Excellence Award, the symbol shown would be a trophy. -
Correct…Cedar Girls School and SJI has alreday won School excellence Award last year or the year before.
The rest of the IPO schools have not won it yet. Some may have won School Distinction Award, one rank lower than SEA. -
hi…can you pls adv me if i am correct to say that if my daughter (SCGS 's 2010 psle batch ) wants to go into IP program , and since scgs doesnt offer IP for this batch and if her score is at around 245 (not good enough for this year’s IP avail schools) , she shld try to opt for MGS (ASCI) or Cedar (VJC) for normal Sec 1 ( since IP is not yet avail for this year’s student there ) and join IP only in their third year when these schools IP program starts). is this option a viable route for students with lower score such as 245 and yet want to try to opt for IP, to first enter these schools as normal sec 1 and 2, seemingly be in a better position to be considered entry into IP at third year same school. Is there something i forget to consider here? As opting to leave SCGS for Cedar sounds like a very unusual thing to do, if not for this IP consideration, would most appreciate if u can advise me . thanks so much!

But the IP for these schools will start from Sec 1, and not apply to Sec 3. -

I doubt if your dd will be able to get into MGS with agg of 245. The COP has been >250 in past years.
The only advantage MGS has over SCGS is you get a bonus point for entry into ACJC. Mind you, this is ACJC, not ACSI.
With an aggregate of 245, it would probably be better for your dd to stay in SCGS, work her way into the top 2 classes in Sec 2 so she can participate more fully in the Talent Programme there. If she proves herself she can apply for an IP school in Sec 3. -

In the same report, its mentioned that the Cedar Girls on IP will remain in Cedar for 4 years. Does that mean the VS boys on IP will also remain in the VS for 4 yrs. So what's happening with the current VJC VIP model where the students start their IP in VJC in Sec 3,4 and then carry thru to the JC1/2 years. Is that going to be discontinued in the future? It will be such a waste as that pgm has been around since 2005.kiaaik:
I read in the Straits Times today about how a group of 8 old boys and teachers of VS has courted Cedar. I am really impressed with the Victorian brand of education, and won't have any hesitation sending my children to VS and CGS.
I think a VS-VJC merger will be in the pipeline in the future, as mentioned in the same newspapers report.
Yesterday's news mentioned that 50 VS boys and 50 Cedar girls entering sec 1 in 2011 will be selected to do the IP in Sec 3 in 2013 as interim measure (since the vs/cedar/Vjc IP will only start in 2012). I presume this batch will be doing the current VIP for the time being. Does this mean that the VIP will not accept students other than VS/Cedar for this cohort? VIP is currently open to all other schools to apply for entering at Sec3. This is a pertinent issue for the P6's this year.

does this mean that eg if a girl who scored 250 may not be able to get IP at CGS (if more than half of her cohort at cgs scored above 250), but a girl who scored 240 may get IP at SCGS (no disrespect, just eg) if half of her cohort at scgs scored below 240)?
Please don't get so hung up on COP
which is really just a number used as a point of reference
for the last person with dat T score admitted into a sec. school
in posting exercise (sans DSA etc...)
MOE adjust PSLE raw scores into T scores.
In previous years, the T scores for d top 8 -10 % of each cohort,
fall ard 250 +- 2 to 3 points, after applying normal distribution.
These 8 - 10% generally choose the IP track or NUSHS.
With an additional 7 IP schools, more students can get onto IP track,
perhaps with lower T scores.
But d COP is not the criteria which gets you into your school of choice.
It is how ur kid performs against his/her cohort in dat year.
The higher up he/she is up in d pecking order,
the greater choices he/she has.
It is as simple as dat.
