Zoe Tay fails to get son enrolled in Nanyang Primary School

[phtthp]

since so many girls’ school already gone IP way including even Cedar, think the next wave that comes along to sweep other girls can probably include … Crescent girls Secondary, PLMGS, Tanjong Katong girls.

logically speaking, MGS should IP with ACS boys.

MGS IP has already been approved last year. In 2013, they will have their 1st batch of IB for year 1-4 and the girls will join ACSI at year 5-6 for the IB programme.

I think it will take a while before the next batch of IP schools come along. The last batch of 7 new IP schools have increased the number of IP schools drastically and MOE will probably monitor again before granting new IP schools.

JGMum,

Full schools have both primary and secondary sections as one single school. Since affiliation for alumni is based on the school, even if you only studied in the school during your secondary school days, your child will be eligible under Phase 2A.

MummyThree Streams, thanks so much for your information.
:thankyou:

Dear MummyThreeStreams, does this mean that for full-schools, those who studied in the secondary, but not the primary section, (for example St. Nicks secondary, but not St. Nicks primary) can qualify to register their children in Phase 2A2 (or Phase 2A1 if they joined the school's alumni e.g. St. Nicks alumni)?

Yes, your description is absolutely correct. This happens for Catholic High too. That's why after the Sibling phase & Alumni phases, there are very few places left for Phase 2B & Phase 2C.

The situation is far more competitive now that Catholic High School has been granted approval to start running it's own IP program starting 2013.[/quote]Why? Not that great wat....Cath High goes into IP in a strange union with 2 other girls' schools that becomes what? Rojak JC? 2 traditionally chinese schools with a \"peranakan\" school? Probably not all that popular, I'm afraid. But if the child is in there, then have IP better than no IP, is that what you are saying? Anyway, school is dual-track. I think only less than 100 students will get to be in IP each year.

Yup, that's what I am saying. Catholic High primary boys can get into their secondary school with a lower cut-off. Once they get in, there is always a chance for them to convert to IP track if they do well for Sec1 and 2. In that sense, it is attractive for the parents.
As for the rojak culture, it is beyond our control. MOE's decision lah.

Principal already said that the Affiliated score is probably going to go up to around 240+ when it's into IP. 240+ for affiliated, and 248 for non-affiliated??? Not very attractive already, I'd think.

ya lor … strange union together with 2 girls school.

With St Nics ok, but SCGS? :scratchhead:

8 points difference … no big deal!


correct way to implement should be 250 for affliated boys … and 260 for outsider boys coming in.

if NYPS girls minimum is 250 for affliated girls to enter into NYGH, the score for Catholic high boys should at least be likewise. Why should boys lose out to girls ? Catholic high primary also a GEP centre, like NYPS.
