This is what I found on their website.

This was what I meant when I am keen to know specific practices or intangible cultures of schools that add values.

Band 1 School Consecutively For 5 Years
More than one-third of the teachers in Cedar Girls' Secondary School have more than 10 years of teaching experience, according to its Principal, Mrs Ou Yang Geok Cheng. She also commented that Cedar Girls' has a culture of senior teachers guiding the young teachers so that teaching experiences are passed 'down from generation to generation'. This will enable all the teachers to consistently maintain a high standard of teaching . This is one of the school’s success formulae which helps Cedar Girls' to be the only school in the Special/Express stream to maintain its Band 1 position for the last 5 years.
At present, 6 teachers in the school are alumni, including physics teacher Ms Jaclyn Thang. Four years ago, she returned to her alma mater to begin her teaching career. Mr Yau Ming Chin who was her teacher previously is now her 'mentor.'
Ms Thang said that new teachers are usually busy with the daily work and they tend to neglect the broader direction of teaching. Mr Yau who is the Subject Head of Physics, will share his teaching experiences through coffee-break sessions, as well as brainstorming together for ideas when planning activities for the students.
In addition, Principal, Mrs Ou Yang said that all the teachers, both senior and new teachers, are very enthusiastic. The school sets aside 50 minutes every week for teachers to form teams to share their teaching strategies with one another and to celebrate successes.
In order to strengthen the teachers’ sharing of classroom experiences and research, the school has also started a lesson study program in this year. 4-5 teachers within the same department will discuss and select a topic which is more difficult to teach, and to develop appropriate strategies and content to teach the topic collaboratively.

Hi
Based the premli result ,I have computed x 3 divided by 4 an estimate “T score” for my girl as 255 . Can anyone tell me how close is this computation as compare to the actual result?
As a parent, if happens that the actual result is 255(no A*) + 2(HMT), which school should you consider? NHHS, SCGS or RV?
Note- Her MT only score 84.
Thanks -

Don't think your method of calculation is accurate.Hi

For a start, the full mark is not 400.
The score depends on the performance of the whole cohort, where as your girl score is only based on her own school.
If your girl get 255 + 2, she qualify for both SCGS & RV. Both are good schools. You gotta decide whether you want her to do IP (then go RV) or normal O Level route (then goto SCGS).
I dunno where is NHHS ?

Let's try to keep it to topic, please. -

Back to topic.
Miss Bean, 255+2 can get you into a number of good schools such as SCGS, MGS, RV, NHHS. If you prefer a SAP school, opt for RV or possibly DHS because 255+2 is only a few points off the DHS COP. If you prefer non-SAP, go for MGS or SCGS.
But if I read your post correctly, you said your dd has no A*? If that’s the case I don’t think that her score would be 255 based on PSLE computations. -

Besides the schools listed by jtoh, you may also wish to consider St Nicholas Girls School. I don't know about the other schools, but St Nic seems to value-add quite a bit from the feedback of my 2 friends who have dd there.VitoRelax, you're back!

Hi Everyone,
We just came back from overseas due to my husband posting and not aware of the changes in the Singapore’s education system. Can anyone explain what is the difference between the traditional “O” level stream and IP programme offered by schools like ACS, RI etc. Which is better? -
