Help !

I am lost ! indeed need some help from you.
My girl scored 204 in her PSLE and somehow eligable to enroll into Express steam. As you know, this range of scoring is the \"sandwich\" type which not many good school for selection.
Can I enroll her into NA stream instead ?
I am staying at Seng Kang, which school should I pick if I have to enroll her into express stream ?
please advice... appreciate it. :?

She did well to go to Expres, hence you cannot \"downgrade\" her to NA. You can consider Greendale or Punggol at Punggol if she don't mind the travelling time. Persoanlly I prefer Greendale as I have 2 nephews studying there and I think they are doing well.

Try to choose those schools with Mean Score and Median scores around 203-206. You can foolw the steps below to check the scores for the school
.

1) Goto http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/index.asp
2) Choose \"Basic Search for schools\"
3) Under Secondary Schools, choose the school you want to check. You will get a pop-up window
4) Scroll down and look under \"Aggregate range of 2009 Primary 6 pupils posted to 2010 Secondary 1\"

my dd also 253 +2. Also stay in East. also deciding between SCGS and Cedar. DD afraid can not find friends in SCGS since classmates will mostly go to east side schools...any suggestions?

so we can make them friends ok ?? haha .. Actually still thinking over between SCGS and Cedar, think more of SCGS now ...

went to open house today at cedar and also SCGS. Surprise that SCGS though an independent school in which the girls have to pay a hefty fees of close to $300 per month is so run down. The classrooms' chairs and tables are all in a very sorry state. The parade square tiles are blackish and greenish in which the girls are expected to sit every morning for assembly. No offence to any SCGS current and old girls. That's just what I honestly feel as 1st impressions.[/quote]You may want to consider MGS if distance is not an issue to you.

Sorry, not familiar with these schools. However, I know someone with 2 daughters in North Vista. Her elder daughter (Sec 2 this year) don’t really like the school, but her younger sister (sec 1 this year) find the school alright. My friend believe is due to the classmates that the children have.

I understand that there is a new school in Punggol (cannot recall the name). Usually a new school is good as the principal and teachers will work hard to ensure that their pioneer batch of students will do well in "O" or "N" exam, so as to set a good reputation for the school. You may want to consider the new school.

Would like to add something I wrote on Cedar Girls topic.



My friend who scored 242 is appealing to Cedar Girls. The office staff told her parents and her (I was there but was sitting on the couch) that my friend’s chances were slim and that the COP is likely to go up due to going-to-be-IP status.

For those on borderline case, perhaps call up the school to check so that you will not waste your precious 6 choices ?

Hi all.

My dd scored 260 + 2 (HCL). She is trying to decide between Cedar Girls and Dunman High. Her main concern is that she is not really good in her CL and therefore may not be able to do well in Dunman High. Please advise. Thanks

My score is 259+2. I chose Cedar Girls over DHS.

Partly because of Chinese too.

Perhaps Augmum and 25hourmaid can give some advice?

You can also browse through this topic to search for answers or hop over to Cedar Girls and Dunman High topics to have a look. Augmum did mention a little of the chinese standard in Cedar Girls Secondary topic. ^^

Congratulations on your DD results ! They are great !

I'm not sure but the school did tell my friend that COP likely to go up. Maybe by a few points ?

Please don't throw stones at me if I'm wrong, this is purely what I heard from my friend almost immediately after the school told her that.

I'm just sharing what I know to contribute back to this forum.^^
