[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

Scary:
Don't think Henry Park is hotter than PH. PH does not have alumni. Must see end phase 2A2. PH is also a mission school and they have Chapel and CVE. Some parents may prefer Henry Park due to this.
Some of my friends register their kids at Henry Park for the reason that it is NOT a mission school. They are not comfortable with the preaching.
However, residents staying near PH registered their kids there...I am an example :evil: -

It's the affiliation which is a big pull factor.
Think cos MGS got affiliation , so most parents prefer this school to begin with. If only RGPS is affiliated tooLeeTaiTai:
[quote=\"phtthp\"]Henry Park hotter than Pei Hwa, both co-ed.
MGS hotter than RGPS, both Girls school.
RGS has a COP of 260...I think if RGPS has affiliation, I'll be very stressed if daughter is there.[/quote]It will never happen. RGS is a top girls school. It won't want its standard to be brought down by affiliation. -

Top secondary schools will want to keep their standard.
Even if there is affiliation, the COP will not be that much different bet afffiliated and non-affiliated. -
hypothetical case …
what if one fine day RGPS suddenly announce affliation, say with an affliated COP at 255 (ie. 5 points down from the current non-affliated 260, can’t be too far off if still want to maintain one of the Top schools) … what do you think will happen, hotter than MGS ? -

Are you asking if RGPS will be hotter than MGS Primary? If there's affiliation to the top girls school in Singapore, of course. It'll be as hot NYPS because currently NYPS has affiliation to NYGH at 250. But then the hypothetical affiliation COP is rather high at 255. If the hypothetical COP is set at 250 then without a doubt it'll be the hottest school in sg.hypothetical case ...

Yes, i agree ! it’ll become the hottest primary school in SG, for girls!

so maybe we can gather all (existing + future RGPS parents) to start writing in to appeal to MOE, consider implementing RGPS to become affliated, with COP >= 250 !
then whether COP is 250 or 255, let MOE or the school decide. With an affliated COP around 250 or 255, should still be able to maintain one of the leading Top schools position. At least, we have an affliated Secondary school to hang onto.
after all, policies and rules are man made. Can be changed! -
anyone registering under 2A2 for MGS?

the COP will depend on the overall T-score for that year and if this really come true i would say it will be less than 5 points below normal COP (ie. around 257 which is quite tough too) and it will be like NYPS affliated to NYGH but for girls only....
look at NYPS, it's a Mix/GEP/SAP/affliated to NYGH and no doubt the hottest pri sch in SG now....
