Choose Secondary school for 2010

[carebear]

etanyp:

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.

Hi Carebear,


My son scored 241. 1st choice: TKSS, hopefully he can get in so no more headache.

He is above average in English and only average in Chinese so to go to a SAP school that is more focus in Chinese i’m afraid he might end up not doing well in both languages.

Thanks for replying.

Hi cccocobean, mine also applied for TK.
We were undecided among TK, Maris Stella or Chung Cheng.
Like your son, my son's chinese is not up to standard, so after touring the schools, he decided on TK.

[quote]It is actually a page on its own between the first page and S1 option form. The subject is :

Eligibility of your child/ward.

1. Your child has taken the 2009 PSLE. Based on his results, he is eligible for the following. *blah blah blah*

Mathsparks - many thanks. now then I realise such letter is part of the form. My DD is being offered 3rd lang and HMTL[/quote]Hi julongmum,

Can check if your DD is being offered Japanese/French/German?

Hi Carebear, so we are on the same boat..


2nd choice is also very important that is why i want to find out more about that school. Hopefully anyone know about Maris Stella can share with us.

Thanks in advance!

If take HMTL, if eventually at sec 2 or 3 can't handle can drop?

Depends on the school, but you should be able to drop it if you can't manage it. Although this might be tricky in a SAP school where all students are expected to offer HMT.

Higher Chinese not compulsory as Chinese also offered.

Depends on the school. Some schools insist that all students must offer HCL. Only in special cases will they consider allowing a child to drop HCL to CL.

I saw in the Info Booklet Chinese is also offered in maris stella. Doesn't that mean it's an option not to choose HCL? A bit confused...

Hi,


My son got 256 with Merit for Tamil HMT. We were hoping for an IP / IB route so that he does not have to got thro' the O levels. Based on past experiences, is there any chance of getting into ACS(I) IB with 256?

Any other schools to recommend, most other IP schools are SAP schools with no Tamil. Please help :?: ...

I heard that last year's COP was 256 for IB programme. You wont know and cant choose thus it depends on this year's cohort and the no. of kids applying... no gurantee. If unsuccessful, they will post child to \"o\" level route, so its risky...
