Do come!

are you a student from this school?[/quote]
Yes I am! Currently Sec 2.[/quote]

know that all CCA is good, but need your advise what's the most outstanding CCA in MSHS?[/quote]
UGs are very strong in MSHS like NCC, NPCC, Scouts and st. Johns. The symphonic band, table tennis and badminton teams are quite good too.[/quote]

How about ARCHERY?

For information, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), which is currently offering both IP and ‘O’ Level Programme, does not offer pupils the option to select the programmes as the admission to the programmes is decided by the school.


Also found this info on the MOE website. So if we put ACSI as a choice then if the Tscore meets their IP COP then will get into ACSI(IP) else if tscore less then IP COP but good enough for O level then will get into ACSI (O level/Express). Is my understanding correct?

They never publish what's the exact COP for IB and what's for express right ?
Every year for ACSI the COP is just speculation.

From what I gathered from your post, you stay in the west side right ?
Have you consider the travelling distance and time to RI every day ?
It's going to be very long and time consuming.

Wow! Ms Tay you move to North specially for ds dream school ?
I'm staying in the North also hope ds will get to RI which is the nearest for us. Ds quite disappointed with DSA as quite a number of his close friends managed to get thru

So these COPs
2011 S1 intake : 245
2010 S1 intake : 250
2009 S1 intake : 253
2008 S1 intake : 252

which are on the School Information Service, may be the COP of IP or O level? I'd guess they are more towards 'O' level, yeah speculating as you say. Can't imagine 245 to be COP for IP. Infact DS knows of a senior of his who is in Express in Sec 1 ACSI, his TScore was 248.
So ACSI COP for IP is some imaginary three digit number. :roll: Anyways at this point in time DS's T score is also a 3 digit imaginary number.
May be I should post this query on the ACSI forum, hopefully can get better idea there.

With the introduction of the Integrated Programme (IP) in Victoria School (VS) and Cedar Girls’ Secondary School (CGSS) from 2012 onwards, the two schools will offer both IP and ‘O’ Level Programme. P6 pupils can opt into the specific programme in these schools e.g. VS(IP) or VS(‘O’ level programme), CGSS(IP) or CGSS(‘O’ level programme) by indicating the specific school option code . Each of these programmes will also have their specific Cut-Off-Points.


School Name Option Code
Victoria School (IP) 9151
Victoria School (‘O’ Level Programme) 3014
Cedar Girls’ Sec School (IP) 9152
Cedar Girls’ Sec School (‘O’ Level Programme) 3004

I got the above info from MOE web site.
First I'm not sure what is the COP for VS(IP) and VS(O). Lets say my DS has got tscore on the borderline of VS(IP). In that case if I want to keep both IP and O level option of VS should I put 9151 as my first choice and
3014 as second choice? Or is it enough to put 9151 as first choice and if the tscore meets the COP of VS(O) will automatically be alloted to VS(O) :? For more clarification whom should I contact VS or MOE ?

Hi tisha, if I am not wrong, MOE treated VS(IP) and VS(O) as two separate choices. i.e. If u pick VS(IP) as your first choice and did not select VS(O) as second choice. if u don't meet the cop for VS(IP), u will not be allocated to VS(O). Thus allocation is not automatic. Regards.

Thanks rylee. Thats my understanding too. But in case of ACSI there is only one school code rt?

Right. Heard they will only do the selection of (IB) or O level track after the allocation. Regards.

Anyone knows which tuition centre is good for students in IP schools - RGS and NYGH ?

I’ve heard people talking abt Learning Lab and Learning Point – are they good ? Any others ?

Thanks.
