Thanks! Gan Chiong.


But how long is the journey going to Maris Stella from Pasir Ris? I have to take circle line from which MRT?

How do you think of my 6 choices of the school?

NotKiasuEnough:

My dd wants to try for RGS (260).


I am worried of

1). Snobbish students who will do anything to get ahead

2). That being amongst the lowest range of psle scores to get in, she may not be able to cope.

Any advice? Am I just being paranoid?

Raffles Girls - Go For it.
Snobbish people are everywhere. Not just in RGS. To get ahead of others is just part & parcel of a healthy competition.

Think of it this way - if in future, your daughter is offered a good role in a certain institution (let's just say a bank) & you wouldn't want her rejecting that role (and that fatty pay cheque) just because that bank is \"rumoured to be very political\", yeah ? You would prefer that she give it a shot & if she doesn't like it, she can always jump ship after accumulating enough experience(s) in that bank. Afterall, life is all about experiences
Nothing ventured nothing gain. Cliche but true.

Not true that if you enter a certain school with the \"lowest range T-score\" means you will forever be struggling at the bottom of the school.

I have friends whose PSLE scores were worse than mine (back in Cedar) but they had sterling O-level results as compared to mine

DS's friends are all persuading him to go there .... they all got some points above the COP of last year, and DS score is quite a number of points above the median....so is likely to put in the form......sigh ! still undecided lah ......

Hi,


For students who are offered a 3rd language option - Are any of your dd/ds taking up? If yes, what language are they interested in? I’m just wondering if students are given the option to drop it if they cannot cope?

YEAP And proudly so... Hehehehe

Nice to hear that! We'll go over to the open house tomorrow.


Any comments on MGS from anyone? We would like to have a good comparision between the 2 schools. Thanks.

Apologies..I meant I was from Cedar. Fast fingers.

MGS is good school too. I have some nice frens from MGS.... but... are you not considering distance? Are you nearer Cedar or MGS (distance-wise) ? These 2 schools are in separate zone.

If nearer Cedar , then choose Cedar. If MGS nearer, then choose MGS.

Distance is key. It is not just about going to school. How about the need to commute for CCA , extra classes etc etc ?[/quote]I would suggest cedar. I was from there. besides academic excellence, cedarians are taught to be well mannered and respected individuals. not many schools offer that.

my daughter will be doing malay special programme. her t score wasnt that great,(234) so given limited options. my sister-in-law's son who is from VS (Sec 2) is doing German. I heard from him that it is actually pretty fun and you are not penalised for failing. As far as I am concern, it is a good opportunity for kids to pick up a foreign language. at least know how to converse.
