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.

NJC probably has its in-house programme but it's not an SBGE (in that it's not recognized as an SBGE by MOE.)

Mad-Eye Moody:

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?

:udaman:

Top 10% only if they are offered French/Jap/German. Everyone is offered Cat 1 & 2 of third language, provided they did MT in PSLE.

On Cedar and SCGS


Academically, they are both on par. Perhaps, one should decide base on ccas, distance and school fees. In the area on academic, Cedar has maintained its consistency thru many years . Generally, its girls are well-behaved, intelligent and hard working. My son takes notice of these positive traits(JC). School is pretty strong in atheletics.

SCGS seems to have brighten up lately base on their last yr O-LEVEL results. Is amongst the tops nationwide in english, literature and maths. Generally the girls hve a high command of english. Due to their exposure to different styles of writing, its girls hve performed well both in A-level and IB. Its niche ccas are dance, squash and gymnastic.

So btw these two schools, is a very close call.

If yr dd likes SCGS, can place the school as top choice and prepares her for appeal. Make sure yr second choice is marginally below her T-score.

my girl does ballet grade 5 and squash , but her t score 247 , cop for scgs is 251, risky to put as 1st choice and appeal?

Just a note that dance at SCGS is of a very high standard. Just Grade 5 alone isn't enough. You have to have very good performing abilities and some of the girls by Sec One are already en pointe. The girls also do more than ballet - tap, chinese dance and jazz are de rigeur. In any case, they've already taken in their dancers during DSA.

That neighbor that I talked about also wants to choos RVH like me. Her T-score like I said is only 247 including HCL. We stay around the east side. She and I don’t mind the journey. May I ask what are her chances of getting into that school. Btw I got 253 and I think I stand a chance of getting into RVH unless I’m wrong.

RVH this year cut off point is around 251.


cheers

[quote=\"Proudparentof2\"]Dear All, kindly ask for your advise please for my dd who scored 223. We live in Mount Faber she is from River Valley PS. Our choices so far is:


1. Chu Cheng Main (cop 208-231)
2. Gan Eng Seng (222-239)
3. Peirce (208-231)

Hoping to get Gan Eng Seng but try to strecth it to get Chu Cheng due to dd would like to go to JC. Is it wise?

Hi, may I clarify? Chu Cheng Main = Chung Cheng High main?
cop 208?

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.[/quote]Thank you so much for enlightening us. It is very very much appreciated.

You can consider Beatty sec sch, walking distance from Braddell Stn.
They have been very consistent in getting the value-add awards and the banding for 2010 'O' level is 6, one of the best schools to consider for good academic performance.
Good luck in your choices!

Thank you so much for the suggestion, look it up already - there is no international dance for cca. Sigh...

Any advise on putting Chung Cheng as 1st choice?

There is no harm putting Chung Cheng as 1st choice but realistically,
the chance of getting posted to Chung Cheng is low, considering that their COP was even higher in the past years.

I would say your next choices Gan Eng Seng and Mayflower are good choices as both these are value-added schools (whereas Chung Cheng is not!). With your daughter's COP, her chances are very high indeed.[/quote]Thank you kindly for the input. It is much appreciated. May I know what do you mean by value added?
