Choose Secondary school for 2010

Yes. This is clearly stated and illustrated in the MOE PSLE Booklet 1 and on its website. A resourceful 12 year old has also kindly scanned and reproduced that page on this forum.
Yet a couple of sec school teachers told me this is not the case... They say if put the preferred school as 1st choice even though a couple of points short from COP, we'll miss the boat, as in end up even second choice can't make it even though qualify for it cos others of similar score who put first choice get it first... -
very confuse with the system. listen to moe or teacher?

What Teacher says should be from experience.... i guess system must be placing all 'First Choices' at one go. Remember for Affliated schools , first choice has to be processed before the non-affliated processign takes place... it might as well done for whole cohert!!!!
Better safe than sorry... Put first choice which has COP less than your child's score :roll: -

Anyone can share if A scored 256 + 3(HMT) = 259 vs B scored 257 +1(HMT) = 258 and both choose SAP school X as first choice. Who will be rank first and get posted first?

My daughter got 239 for her PSLE…
She is choosing between Commonwealth and Swiss Cottage.
The journey to Commonwealth is 45mins while the joruney to Swiss Cottage is 25mins.
The aggregate of both the schs are 238.
But Swiss Cottage is a Band4 sch while Commonwealth is a Band2 school.
Which one should she choose? -
I understand that Maris Stella High School is a SAP school. My son is not taking HMT, if he apply as his 2nd choice is he at a disadvantage? Is the school strong in both languages or only in Chinese?
Can someone advise me. Thanks in advance! -

hi, my dd got 237, 1 point below COP and her 1st two choices of sch would be between Swiss Cottage and Commonwealth. i wanted her to choose Commonwealth as 1st choice reason being it is a Band 2 sch and offer more CCA. Commonwealth has strong CCA which is good for JC posting but my dd prefer Swiss Cottage coz is a walking distance. :x since it is her choice, im still thinking how to appeal to Swiss Cottage coz she din meet the COP. :?:My daughter got 239 for her PSLE...

He should not be at a disadvantage so long his aggregate meets the mark.
He can opt to study chinese as a 2nd language should he get into the school. -

which school is better? chung cheng high or tanjong katong sec?
Both equally good.
My neighbour was deciding between the 2. Her daughter chose Chung Cheng cos she is into chinese culture and speech and drama.
