Saw the notice being put up in VS last week. 10 sec 1 classes next year, of which 4 is for IP.

I was wondering...if the best students all move towards IP, the bell curve will favour the good students who are still taking the O levels (with RI, HCI out of the picture). Will those in VS taking the O level route benefit from this trend, since they would supposedly be one of the best among all taking the O levels?

Not only VS \"benefit\", other schools which has been doing very well in O Levels include CHS, St Nicks, SCGS, etc. All these schools will be offering IP + O Level route come 2012.

So those who would have been in the middle or upper middle range will now come in tops in O levels. Comforting thought for those who missed out on IP, perhaps?

quite strange then...
90 IP students into 4 classes and
270 non-IP students into 6 classes

At Cedar open house, the principal said that the number of IP places was not confirmed... \"If MOE sends me 120 girls, I will put them in 4 classes. If MOE sends me 80, I will put them in 3.\" Wonder if it is the same for VS.


Hope this means Cedar will also have 4 classes= 120 places. :boogie: :xedfingers: :please:

Gosh, honestly have no idea. For the past 2 years that my ds has been in the school, sec 1 and 2's have had 9 classes and i notice there's an extra classe when they move to the upper levels. They number of students in the lower levels is of course 40. With the IP next year, and 4 classes, don't know how many students. 120 perhaps to make it 30 in each class? :xedfingers:

Wow, 4 IP classes will means less than 25 students per class. That is rather small. Do anyone knows the number of students per class at RI/HCI? Regards.

I thought VS total IP Cohort only 90? Left with 40++ places for S1 posting after half taken up via DSA?

May I know when is the bookshop open during the school holidays? (date/time)

try calling the school to check

I called this number 6897 5511 from the website stating victoria school book shop number and found that the line is out of service. Call the VS general office, no one seems to pick up the call. Maybe they are on school holiday. Anyone has the latest VS school book shop number? thanks.
