pardon my ignorance, so where do the students of QPS go for their Sec Schools?

Hi Bakugan!


Long time no chat!

Have you found a student care centre for your child already?

Aren't you glad that you opted for QtPS for your son? So far, the reviews have been good. :celebrate:

They go to different sec schools, from the more reputable ones (HCI/NYGH/NUSH/RGS/RI/RV/NH etc.) to the neighbourhood ones (Queensway/Q'town/Gan Eng Seng etc.). You can see the list of sec schools from my daughter's class in 6A'06:

That’s quite good from your daughter’s class! I guess more than 25% goes to good secondary schools.

Thanks a bunch mjl :love:

It's gd to know that the Evaluation tests are to \"help\" him & nt stress him.
And now I have an idea of what Sec School I can look out for in the next few years... How I wish my DS could be like oneof the 25% in your DD's class

Hi qms :hugs:
Long time no see...
Yes, i have registered for DS to be with Cambridgefor the after-school programme. They have just extended their quarters to another 2 more classrooms. So there's lots of space for the kids to work in.
But DS may get tired the first few weeks without his afternoon naps, since this childcare doesnt have nap spaces for Primary kids.
So I guess he'll just have to \"ooutgrow\" it a lot sooner than expected

Maybe it might be good to slowly adjust his sleeping habits now before school starts to lessen the stress, and so that he gets enough sleep at night.


Sleeping is most important for kids!

If good secondary schools means those accepting students with more than a PSLE aggregate of 240, I think more than 60% made it. For 6A'07, I think similarly more than 60% got into good secondary schools. Their class blog is at http://www.6a-tionalz.blogspot.com/ (click author and scroll down).

However, I do not know about the other classes. Probably less made it into good secondary schools.

I didn't know QtPS stats are that good. Considering the demographics, I think it is a good achievement.

I think typical neighbourhood schools would produce similar results, at least for the top class(es). Seeing some parents who go all way out to get into top schools, with parent volunteer work/shifting hse/etc., I feel these are not necessary (unless they are already staying nearby). Most neighbourhood schools in S'pore can produce respectable achievements!
