Yes, sorry about that, meant to say 250.
Any thoughts from parents here?

I think one of the forummers here most qualified to ans your qn is janet_lee cos she has been thru the same situation before, well sort of.

but is affiliation that important?[/quote]Have seen a Fair Share of Students transfered out of PH, and other Schools w/o Affiliation to those that have ....

Most got ONE Simple Reason ....
Pri Schools students from Non-Affiliated Sch has to Fight with ACTUAL PSLE Score to these Schools, while those from Affiliated Pri Get to Enjoy A Few Points Advantage when time comes for Sec 1 Admission.

Many of the Parents R Worried that their Kids results, Being Not on the Star-Spangled Range, Might B Sent to Sch Not Within their Choice ....

So, In A Way, Can \"CHOP\" a Place in the Affiliated Sec Sch, provided of course that the Result is Not Too Far Off the Cut Off ....

And MINUS One Headache when it comes time for Join School Admission Excercise for Sec 1 ....

For many pple, the ans would be a resounding yes.

The main purpose of PSLE is to get into a band 1 sec sch mah.

Even if one is confident of one's kid academic accomplishment, there's still the risk of 'ma you shi ti' (read as 'horse can fall down', see I'm not going to risk translating it to chinese characters anymore).

And there's really no harm if one is excellent academcially and studying in an affliated sch at the same time. It's like I go IR. Heads I win, tails I also win!

U Mean IR Win, Right?
If Heads U Win, Tails U Also Win, - IR Would Have BAN U -liao!

What I said was purely based on the academic consideration. But having said that, if you ask me to choose my ans now will be I won't encourage ds to switch to another sch just for the affiliation because of other non-academic considerations.

DS looks so happy in PH why would I want to risk changing anything. Anyway PH teachers are so good .....

Hi,


My gal is currently in PHPPS P2, and I started thinking about whether to transfer her to pri schools with affiliation to sec school e.g MGS. Not sure if this is worth it, but I was told that 2 of her friends are considering transfering to NanYang! I read that the cut off points for reputable sec schools are at least 150 and above.

Welcome.
You mean 250 cut-off?

Seriously, at P2 there is still time to prep her. PHPPS is a very good school and has more than 20% that achieve >250 in the last two years.
Besides, it would not be easy to transfer to MGS/NYPS.
Caveat: unless you have special lobang.

if your child is truly passionate about math, invest in systematic math training, not just in MO.

Totally agreed. Wise counsel. Thank you again.
