Chubbyo:

Is the score 213 eligible for N(A) course? :?:

Depends on the school. I've taught in another school with students getting less than 220 in NA stream.

Hi its me again..

My son got just 178 pls advise if I shud still opt for St Pat as first choice as it is affliated to St Stephens. What is the school like? Can anyone pls help with info on Monfort which is in hougang and I live there. I was recommeded Compassvale. I will make that one of my choices too. With Xinmin COP at 188, will my son have a chance, what are the odds.?I am also looking at Anderson but their COP is 189! Pls advise if Im just wasting my time with Xinmin and Anderson..

How about St Gabriel's?

hi hashroop, lckua2008,

i rem checking just today that st pat’s normal course is a band1 school. go check the annex in booklet 2. and it’s affiliated to CJC. Things to look out for is school banding, affiliation, value-added.

Sorry, have passed son’s booklets to his cousin earlier. so unable to check. His cousin didn’t receive from teacher…speaks volumes of the child, teacher n parents actually.

Thanks for replying.. My dd wants to go to Anderson's N(A) which is 189-199.. She scored 213.. Can she qualify? And on the results slip they only stated express as secondary school course eligible for..

Thanks again..

Thanks again.. :)[/quote]Usually they won't encourage since she qualifies for Express course. Maybe you want to appeal to the school to get in directly?

Which area do you stay at?

Hi Hashroop
I don't know a lot but i would still like to help ...
Your son is from St Stephen's? If so , do u know COP for St Patrick's (for afilliation). I think/assume all PSLE students were given a booklet with the schools' COP. I do not know St Patrick's COP . If your son can make it (via the affiliation route from St Stephen's) , I would say \"just go for it\" however i do notice the distance (since u stay in Hougang).
I guess you can check St Gabriel or Montfort. If you do not mind co-ed school, you may try Holy Innocents. Good Luck & remember not to give up

Monfort is not bad in terms of character development. I went there recently for an event & am very impressed with the boys. Very polite & full of pride.

Compassvale is not too bad also. The kids are generally quite well behaved.

Xinmin's COP is too far off, don't think will have a chance though.

St Gab is not bad too. But my cousin was from there & we always hear stories of how he was bullied & beaten up at school. Honestly, we all know that it's his fault cos he likes to provoke people.


I personally will choose a boy's school as there's less distractions.
Maybe can consider St Andrew's (but I'm not too sure of the COP).

Appeal to the school directly for which course may I ask? I'm a little bit of blur here, real sorry.

I stay at Ang Mo Kio/ Yio Chu Kang, a 15 mins walk to Yio Chu kang mrt, so about 25 mins walk to Anderson..

For this area, another school I'll recommend is Peirce Sec. They do not have NT, so the discipline level there is higher. They just moved back to Bishan Park site after PRIME, so building is new too. They have an indoor sports hall if I recall correctly.

Their COP for Express is 209.
