TOP choice for my children's Sec Sch
-
Yes yes… parents, please consider distance. In secondary, kids dismissed later than pri sch, more subjects, more hmwk, need more time for revision for CT & exam. In addition, school activities, CIP, etc.
My dds in secondary sch, dismiss 2 pm (2 days) and 2.40pm (3 days), by the time they board a bus, reach home around 3pm/3.30pm (we live 10 min drive from sch). By the time they eat, shower, rest for while etc it is already 4pm/4.30pm. Then they start homework. They may have to stay back up to 5pm/5.30pm, as there are other activities in school. Some time, dd has to stay up to almost 12am to complete homework. On good days, they complete homework and go to bed by 11pm.
Weekends are the only 2 days they can catch up with some extra sleep hours. -

My choice would be RI or catholic high. They are the nearest branded sec sch to home.
We are considering RI or Catholic High too. Chance of going to RI might not be high, most probably end up in Catholic High. Not staying near the schools, but with MRT, traveling time is less than an hour. -

Oh dear, someone told me that Sec 1 is less stressful than P6. No more PSLE & school bag also get lighter too. Do homework till 12am? No joke, not much different from P6 school life. Singapore education is indeed very stressful. :nailbite:Yes yes.... parents, please consider distance.

mummy so kiasu, not every day work till 12am, about once a week or once a fortnight, but i already heart pain.
Lots of projects too. Some times so much activity in school -
For example, DD1 is not back yet (now 10.50pm) as she is attending a school dinner. Although it is not compulsory, but 99% of your classmates attend…

Data still too little to see the trend.
But interesting observation is that RI/RGS has been consistently higher than the rest. I saw quite a fair bit of buzz over threads like ACSI, HCI, NUSH … but so far, zero votes for NUSH. Guess many are just treating NUSH as a backup instead of top choice. -
Actually HCI should be together with NYGH, like "HCI/NYGH", since RI/RGS?

good idea....but then ACS(I) become single.....
If I break up RI/RGS.....then the data gone.....grrhh. -
BeContented:
Can you separate RI & RGS. Pls include some other popular IP schools such as like Victoria, Cedar, Catholic High, Duman High, River Valley High & NJC to your list to improve the accuracy of the poll?Song22:
