CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Secondary

240+ for CHS is a big jump. I hope they're not thinking of that high a COP for SNGS and SCGS. There'll be very little difference between the COP for affiliates and non-affiliates.
Well, the 225 was not a fixed COP for CHS in previous years. Only last year's 230 was fixed. But I think the principal just said at the start of this year that they intend to fix it at 240+ for affiliated eventually. He said bc of IP.jtoh:
Catholic High's COP for affiliated students was 225 in 2008 and 2009, 230 in 2010. So it wasn't raised much further from previous years. SNGS' COP is determined by the number of affiliated students it is prepared to accept rather than a fixed COP, which explains its fluctuation over the years. In 2008, the COP was 221.
In any case, SNGS is offering dual track with O levels for most of the girls and IP for the top classes. I'm sure they'll want to welcome back as many deserving primary school affiliates as they can.
But yes, SNGS' demand/supply COP was always 210+++, so when my daughter used to be there, I was not very worried about her not making it back to SNGS secondary. She got a reasonable score with little stress in p6 year. Being in SNGS secondary was good for her too - she actually excelled after a turbulent sec1/2 year.
I thought I heard principal saying they would be fixing a higher affiliate COP soon. -
jtoh:
SJI has a similar situation now, right? Their affiliated COP is high 230s (238 last year). And next year they are going IP. Not sure if they will set a higher COP - there's already a lot of protest on this, that's why they are considering if there's a possiblity to set up another similar Catholic boys' secondary school under the LaSalle group of schools, I think.
240+ for CHS is a big jump. I hope they're not thinking of that high a COP for SNGS and SCGS. There'll be very little difference between the COP for affiliates and non-affiliates. -

Sprawling? It's exactly the same premises they had all along. ;D Just that they did A&A to some of the buildings only.
Supposed to be ready by next year. But still looks quite much under construction. Dh says it's possible to complete the works shortly and be ready for January, but they would have to *rush*. By the looks of it, maybe can estimate 2nd Quarter of next year, earliest. ;D -

The new building will be ready by June 2012. -
how much Catholic teaching curriculum is imparted to students in this Secondary school ?
does the school still teach character building values, at Secondary level ?
do students need to attend Mass chapel ?
how often each week ?
what is taught during Mass ? -
phtthp:
Schools these days are barred by MOE guidelines from making religious activities compulsory. Likewise, in SNGS, generally it's the Catholic girls who attend Mass. Any others are welcome to attend if they so choose to do so, of course. Mass is like at 7am before lessons start and does overlap sometimes with the 1st period, so some girls will still not go. I think there's morning mass at least once a week. And there's also Bible Class. For Non-Catholics, they can choose to attend a non-Catholic one.how much Catholic teaching curriculum is imparted to students in this Secondary school ?

There will nevertheless be prayers at morning assembly, but nothing like Mass. I think the only \"mass\" that all girls will attend is like that for the Chinese New Year mass that is held in the field every year. -
Does anyone know what is their cutoff for Nicholas Girls ?
