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.

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?

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.

But most sec schools would have conversational malay in their curriculum.

So Jieting, tell your son to brace up. PSLE is only 1 small hurdle - road is still long.

I second that because outside world do not look at you PSLE results but it is whether you can work.

Thanks for your advice. My son is better now.


For T-Score of 230, can I choose:

1.) TKSS but COP 234,(Impossible?)
2.) Maris Stella, COP 232,
3.) Nan Chiau, COP 231,
4.) Temasek Sec school, COP 230,
5.) ?
6.) ?

I stay in Pasir Ris so Maris Stella is it too far? And how to go there?

Anyone can help? :?: :([/quote]

Very convenient...Bartley MRT station is right in front of the school![/quote]

take the green line to Paya Lebar. then transfer to Circle Line and alight at bartley station. about 40 mins ride.

Arabic? anyway, I am not too strict about her learning 3rd language either. think of it as more of an enrichment.

RGS or NYGH?

My daughter scored 262 + 3 and I am wondering does she stand a good chance to enter RGS or NYGH? If she does, should her 1st choice be RGS or NYGH? Please advise. Tks:D

Which one does your daughter prefer (since both are good schools)?
Best to choose what she likes since she will be there for a few years.

If its me, I'll go for RGS (no offence to NYGH. just a personal preference i guess)

Yes; It's a personal choice really. I suggest you go down to the schools if possible and speak to students, your daughter should like the school. Both are good schools. They do have very different cultures; in my case, I think NYGH suited me better. Not so cut-throat.

But of course I stand by my Alma mater. I had an absolutely wonderful 4 years in NYGH; loved it! The people were great, the environment good (The campus has a really warm and cozy feel) and I liked the school culture.

If anyone has questions pertaining to NYGH, feel free to PM me!

I don't think evaluating how good a school is based on the number of PSC scholars or President Scholars is an accurate indicator. Scholarships are NOT the be-all-end-all; people opt not to take up scholarships for many reasons. As long as a school has a sound academic record (ie A levels) and a succesful alumni, I should think it's fine. There's no need to split hairs over who's better!
