8 points difference ā¦ no big deal!
correct way to implement should be 250 for affliated boys ā¦ 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. -

ya lor ... strange union together with 2 girls school.
No choice. MOE-directed. -
SCGS is like a third party, coming in to intercept the 2 Catholic denomination boys and girls school.
can see that SCGS primary is trying hard to raise the level of Chinese now, trying to be on par with these two strong, powerful Chinese SAP schools, where they start HCL right from P1. -

Well, it's like a 2nd-tier IP school unlike NYGH, which is not dual-track, so what do you expect??8 points difference ... no big deal!

Anyway, CHS was popular bc previously for affiliated, the score was only like 220+ while the non-affiliated score ~248. Now they are raising higher and higher every year for the affiliated boys, so it really gets less and less attractive for p1 entrants now and in future.
GEP centre so what? All GEP boys would go to RI/HCI/NUSH. It's the few rare mainstream boys who get high-score (eg. between 260-270) who apply to study in CHS sec. Very very very rare. Most with those scores go to RI/HCI. -

PSLE COPs are determined by market forces, not by the school. If Cath High's current COP is 247 for non-affiliates it can't suddenly dictate that it wants its COP to be 260. Even RI's COP is not 260!8 points difference ... no big deal!

I agree. Cath High being a GEP centre has no bearing whatsoever on its IP track. The secondary school doesn't have a SBE programme. The top GEP boys would choose to go to RI/HCI.

if top Catholic high boys flock to RI/HCI/NUSH, then how about top St Nick girls ?
most of them also heading for RGS /NYGH/NUSH, or prefer to remain in affliated St Nick Secondary ? -

Cutoff point for a school is not set by the school. It depends on the number of vacancies and the profile of students applying to that school in that year.8 points difference ... no big deal!

The affiliated score can be set by school though
