StudentABC:

Well, I got 285, I need some advice... Should I enter Nanyang Girls or Raffles? Alot of teachers advise me to go to Raffles...but which is a better choice? Anyone can help? :? :? :?:

There are many things to consider, like

-Distance
-CCA Record

etc.

You can check the school's niche area before making decisions.

Just wondering for those with high scores 265 and above which apparently there are quite a few here, how come no one mention NUS high or the new science and technology high school as a choice ?

Is it because those schools are considered not elite enough ?
Or they only take in students through DSA ?

Yes, they only take students through DSA.

SST only takes in students through DSA. NUS High doesn't participate in S1 posting exercise although you can apply directly to the school with your PSLE results.

I also have a friend whose daughter is in Nan Yang and is doing great there. I think what matters most is your attitude. Both schools provide great education, so it's up to you to make a decision. Check out their niche area,your CCA Record and distance before selecting the school of your choice. Wish you good luck.

See, I m really in a dilemma :? On one hand, hope he can get into HCI, on the other, worried that he cannot cope if he can (by luck) get in. I am trying to persuade him to choose Catholic High for the 2nd choice ,but somehow, he is not very keen. :?:

If he gets in to HCI, he will be able to cope up. Not to worry. Means that being the last one in HCI is better than being the first one in some other sec schools that he dislikes - my opinion. Simply because he is proud to be a HCIans and being proud is important. And make him promise you to study hard if he gets into HCI, likely chance he will.

In additional, some children are not meant to be last or top in class or in school or in career as well, simply adaptation. Put him into a school with him as last, he will climb to the middle. Put him into a school with him as top, he will drop to the middle also..... So you will need to understand your child first .... i think.

So, we got same problem !! Very headache, right ?


Which school you sending her ?

Is traveling to SCGS from Tampines a problem ?

Also, I am not rich, will that be a problem in SCGS ? I heard in some schools all the students' parents are rich & when they do project work the students all go to expensive restaurants. I certainly cannot afford to give my girl so much pocket money to eat in expensive restaurants for every project work she attends. Is this gonna be a problem in SCGS ?

Thanks

u sound like u prefer girls sch.right
