No comments/feedback about SJI, but you might want to consider SJI's Independent status and the soon to be implemented IP when you make your choice?

Hi 25hour,

You mean if i chose SJI, My son may be able to switch to IP

Sorry, I only know that they are on the new IP school list, but forgot when they are going to implement it, have not been following the info.

What I meant was you might want to find out more about the possibilities of going inot the IP route if you decide to put SJI as your 1st choice.

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%)

On the flipside, HC produced more PSC scholars than RJ. It really depends on the individual, and I agree with kiasuest2 that it's better to match your child's interests with the strengths of the secondary school or she won't be happy no matter how good the school is.

Hey meow, you mean that Hwa Chong produced more PSC scholars than RJC THIS YEAR? or in the past? I agree that in the past, Hwa Chong is top but in recent years, I find that RJC's A levels far better than Hwea Chong. I think that is because with the IP programme, many good students from RI, RGS , Dunman High now don't go to Hwa Chong but go to RJC and stay in Dunman High. So Hwa Chong has lost a lot of top students.[/quote]I think it's for the year 2009, not too sure, you can check the HC website maybe? That's true. Anyway, no matter which school, it's not impossible to succeed if you really want to. It's not as if HC is lagging terribly behind RJ, in any case; they're nearly on par! If your daughter's not happy in NY she can always transfer to RJ in Year 5.

Based on 25hourmaid's recommendation, my preferred order:
Bowen
St Gab
NV
SK
HG
Holy Innocent

I have friends teaching in all the above schools and I've been to Bowen to invigilate

My preference is based not only on academic results produced by the school but also discipline and character building

Great!!! thanks to mrswongtuition!!!!

Actually do plan to put Bowen in 1st choice, and really thanks for your info... :celebrate:

No problems. I really enjoyed invigilating at Bowen because the students were courteous and some in the hall taking the O levels were from NA, they had good senses to behave.

Crescents' COP for 2009 was 242 and 240 for 2010, so I think your girl stands quite a good chance in getting in, of course, nobody can guarantee if the COP would fluctuate much this year, but I think you are quite safe with 244.

By 2007, RJC's results were equal to Hwa Chong's and by 2008 and 2009 RJC is way better than Hwa Chong's. Just for the record, I have no qualms with either JC. Just merely stating the facts.

Can someone with a score of 254(+1) get into dunman high?

Considering that he’s GEP and the COPs will be lower this year?

Really appreciate your prompt reply! Is there other better choices? Thank you in advance

My DS scored 254+2. Badly wanted to go one of the so-so IP Schools like HCI or NJC. Should I appeal? How likely is he going to go to that school. If not, are there any other suggestions other than VS?

Just thought I'd share the facts that I found out.
