Anyone applying for NUS High school besides attending MOE S1 exercise...

Since NUSH results will be out a week before S1, I understand, once NUSH's offer is accepted, the child will automatically be dropped from S1.

Thanks madhub. Then will not apply for NUSH and go for other IP schools.

Possibly NJC, but that's co-ed and they do not offer SBGE. The other alternative is SCGS which also offers SBGE.

Erm, but NJC curriculum is it's own SBGE programme already. There are students in last year's batch who couldn't cope and actually left in year 2 for MGS instead. It does have accelerated programmes on top of it's usual curriculum, but the students have to be identified for those.

Does anybody know whether the total intake number of the top schools will reduce or not? I ask this because this cohort is smaller than last year by about 3000 students.

She refers to Chung Cheng High Yishun. COP for the past 4 years were:
2010: 230, 2009: 230, 2008: 231, 2007: 234.

Proudparentof2, if your dd would like to go to JC, wouldn't she stand a better chance at Gan Eng Seng (achieved band 5 in 2010) than Chung Cheng Yishun (achieved band 6 in 2010)?
In fact, CCHY seems to be over-rated, academically.

HCJC being one of the oldest JC can't alone account for the fact that it produced the most president scholars. There must be quite alot of good students from other good secondary schools (such as RI and RGS) to account for it. As I have said, TCHS and NYGS don't produced more than 5 for the last 20-30 years. The other dozens that HCJC have produced must come from other secondary schools...evrybody can go and figure which other secondary schools can produce so many president scholars.

Your argument is beginning to sound like a joke.

How many president scholars are there in a year ?

You can count on your figures, It is an average of only 5 a year.

So you are basing that to say \"many\" people from Ri/RGS goes to HCJC ?

Do you realise how ridiculous your claims are ?

I think you don't understand the point. There are 50 president scholars from HCJC over the years. Only around 5 were from TCHS and NYGS school combined. How do you account for the other nearly 3-4 dozens?

My answer is that many were from RGS (maybe not RI)

And I also want to correct your view that 90% of RI and RGS proceed on to RJC. It is simply not true in the older days when the cutoff point of RJC was 7-8 (that is very good score in older days) and the average L1B5 of RI and RGS was 8 or 9. Many simply can't make the score for entry into RJC. Moreover, some that make the score prefer schools like HCJC, NJC or VJC. The size of each cohort of JC in those days were 700-800, not the over 1000 nowaday. RJC and HCJC in those days were really not as monolithic in its student intake as you think.

I really don't want to split hair over scores or number of scholars etc...I don't keep statistics but a simple google gave me this site which shows that HCJC was top in at least 2003 and 2004. But you may complain why based on number of 4 distictions, why not other measures?

http://www.physics.com.sg/jcranking.htm[/quote]I am not trying to split hairs here..but I am just trying to correct the impression you are trying to create that MANY students from the Raffles schools goes to HCJC.

If you were honest enough to admit that was a mistake on your part, I would have stop there. but instead you choose to go on and cite other examples which i have clearly refuted.

Now , you are again changing your stand that there are 50 President scholars from HCJC over the years.

My question is then...50 scholars over a duration of HCJC existence, maybe 30 years(?) gives an average of only 1.7 scholar/yr

So that was your 'many\" ? miserable 1.7?


Again you are wrong about many RI/RGS students cannot make it to RJC..RI?RGS students are the cream...if they cannot make it to RJC, who else can ?? and please do not forget.all RI/RGS students also have a extra 2 points whcih gives them an great advantage

I was calculating my DS's ranking in Singapore... Just to confirm that Top 10% of the cohort are being offered 3rd category in the third Language or are they offered third language?

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 ...

Hi PCYYH, Danmom , LandLparents
If any of your daughters would love to choose Cedar, they have my support
I'd say Go For it.
Not just because they are starting the IP soon.
But also because of the holistic curriculum.
I was from Cedar.

We were taught not to simply excel academically. We also excel in sports (track n field), in aesthetics (gym) and in many other areas.
The strict discipline has helped to nurture some really nice, independent , caring young ladies who are at the same time go-getters in life
I have said this before... but i'll say it again since the thread here moves very fast ...
4 simple words to describe my 4 years in Cedar:
Wonderful With No Regrets


Honesty Perserverance Courtesy

Though this (psle) is just a beginning.... Cheers to your daughters' sterling PSLE results...:)[/quote]Hi maisy, thanks for your thots and also great to see your love and appreciation for your school.

Went to both SCGS and Cedar today. Cedar really impresses with the new facilities and stella results. SCGS was very low key and quiet, as the open house was not much of an event. Spoke to one of the senior staff, and she mentioned that thou they accept affiliates with lower scores, these students will be drummed up for the Os .. hence the O level scores were still able to be top in past years, like avg 9.1 last year. Newcomers from other schools, with their higher PSLE scores, will be placed in the top 3 classes. Hence more opportunities for them.

Still pondering. But my girl seems to prefer SCGS, thou the school seems run down as compared to Cedar.


Spoke to parents with kids in Cedar and SCGS. More positive feedbacks on Cedar. So it is Cedar now.
