Hi Rosemummy, 25hourmaid


We know the risk of not indicating SJI as his 1st choice. He will lose this \"right' of getting into SJI.

If my son does get into AHS/CCHS/NH/MS, we are also worried cos it they are SAP school so we are sure whether he can cope with the HMT.

Is SJI good???

Appreciate feedback please.

SJI is an independent school. All my friends whose sons are there are very happy and doing well. They have 1 of the strongest alumni network. Many of the old boys are doing very well and very supportive of the school.

Not sure about the SAP schools, but before they merge the Special and Express streams, the cut-off for Special is 250 and above. If you're worried about HMT, or if he didn't do Higher Chinese, it may not be a good idea to go to a SAP school, though HMT is not compulsory in the schools you're looking at. My cousin used to teach in a SAP school which only offer HMT. She was telling me that some of the students, including those with around 260 and above, are struggling with their HMT which affect their other subjects. They'll have to leave the school if they fail HMT since CL2 is not an option in the school. Also, for a child from SJIJ, going to a Chinese school environment could be a bit of a culture shock.

Talk through this carefully with your son. If I were you, I won't take the risk.

[quote=\"pecalis\"]My dd scored 255+2HMT, 3A* and an A. She still wants to try for NYGH, RGS, NJC, followed by St Nics.

Seems so risky - I would happily settle for St Nics, as it will be walking distance from our home when the sch move back in 2012. But she still wants to try! But I'm thankful for her results, as she is the cool as cucumber type

I am current NJC student and a friend of mine was rejected by my school at first but appealed successfully with the same score last year. Nevertheless, very good luck to your daughter

How do you like the school (NJC)?[/quote]I would say I've never regretted coming here Although I admit the campus is pretty old, we are currently having renovations. The Integrated Programme is good for students who don't want to take O levels as usual. The school stresses that without having to take 'O's it gives a better opportunity for students to get exposed to more other activities for the first few years. And NJC really emphasizes on personal development and exposure to new stuffs and is not really the 'very stressful' kind that will give students a lot of stress. I would say NJC is a very considerable choice for your daughter (of course it does depends on her willingness). All the best to her

By all means go ahead and appeal. I was in the same position where my daughter was offered NYGH but I wanted to appeal to RGS but in the end didn't. Now both she and I are regretting it. Look at the end it is RJC vs Hwa Chong JC.
And RJC is top by a mile.

Both JCs have their merits. There are people in RGS who still end up transferring to HC because of their Humanities Programme.

I agree with meow_ as I don't think that \"RJC is top by a mile\" in every department; both HCI and RI has her strengths and weaknesses. It is better to match her interests with the strengths of the secondary school (and the JC eventually).[/quote]Have you actually seen the A level results? Just to fill you in. RJC had 362 students with perfect 80 points for entry to Uni. That is out of a cohort of 1285. (28.2%). Hwa Chong had 212 out of 1104 perfect scores (19.2%)

My sister got A* for Science and the rest all As, 242. Very happy for her She's in the third class, after her school's (MGS) own gifted program class and the top class. The average score of her class is around 240++. If this year's PSLE was harder, I think there'd be more 250s.


She's going back to MGS.

Hmm...I didnt know MGS had GEP. Anyway, how did you do

It's their own in house program, called the Sophia Blackmore Class. Hehehe, average, I got 215 in '07 (i very lazy one!).

You will almost certainly get into RGS.
