Hi Parents, my daughter was selected at SST and we need to make a decision next week to send her there or not. She is expecting about 245-250 in her PSLE. what other options do i have for any IP schools (non-chinese)


SST looks attractive but it’s not proven yet and from it’s website i don’t see any achievement from it’s students in competitive exams (unlike NUS high, RI, NJC and other shools)

Pls advise

Hi AJAJ
Some information you may want to ponder:
* SST has more boys; girls are about 20-25% of cohort
* There is no literature, arts, home economics subjects, the children will have ADMT (arts, design media and technology) as a subject in year 1/2
* SST niche is science and technology - does your daughter has a keen interest in this area more than other subjects?

In terms of academic achievement, the mean score is about 245 which means that some can get as high as 260+ or as low as 200+. I think an all- rounder may not want to go SST unless the interest really lies in Science and Technology.

Some plus points: small class of 20plus, air-conditioner rooms, brand new campus next year
But the fees are higher $280/mth

Hope this helps.

With an aggregate of 245-250, you have a choice of quite some Band 1 Sec schs within reach. You can check out these from the S1 posting booklet the sch should have issued to your gal. Off the top of my head, you can consider the following: Cedar Girls', Crescent Girls', St Nic Girls'. If you prefer mixed schools, you can consider the following (depending on where you stay): Anderson Sec, Bukit Panjang Govt High, Angelican High. I'm sure you can find more from the booklet.

Of those listed above, only Cedar Girls is going IP next year together with Victoria.
