phtthp:
My 2 cents worth.
between RI and HCI -Zann:
High? 50% wa. From the RI point of view, 50% who receive both RI & HCI will give up RI and go to HCI. What is the reason for giving up RI then?
Perhaps RI less focus on the variety of Chinese programme,like drama, debate, .. to help train the students in their Mandarin, what else?
i)
which Sec school do you think shows more concern and is deemed more proactive in developing moral character values in Sec school boys ?
Character comes first, before academic excellence.
at this point, we're grimly reminded of RI ex boys .... Kong Hee, Ren Chi monk (Shi Ming Yi), TT Durai. Which school make more notorious news, at front line news ?
ii)
which Sec school has richer, deeper history ?
i) All schools hv fair share of rotten eggs. Just unfortunate that RI's are more recently/more prominently in the news.
In HCI, one can see their exhortation of their PIER values everywhere and their students/alumni always acknowledge the \"Family\" and \"Homeliness\" of the school.
RI has visibly strong PTA as can see at their Open House.
ii) Obviously RI has longer history being the first school in SG. -
My son got WL from NUS High and CO from RI. Got a letter from RI suggested that he should indicates RI as his top preference. We originally plan to put NUS high as the 1st choice. If he didn’t success there, he’ll go RI. Will that make RI not happy?

Zann:
what makes you assume that every one who gets HCI CO also gets RI CO ?
High? 50% wa. From the RI point of view, 50% who receive both RI & HCI will give up RI and go to HCI. What is the reason for giving up RI then?
Perhaps RI less focus on the variety of Chinese programme,like drama, debate, .. to help train the students in their Mandarin, what else?
what makes you think that those who give up HCI CO must necessarily be going to RI ? or those giving up RI CO must go to HCI ?
what presumptiousness ! -

every school will tell you to put their school down as first choice.
WL from NUSH is likely to be converted to CO. So if you put NUSH down as first choice, it is unlikely you will be posted to RI. So no worry -
HairyOrange:
YES! CO from HCI (Mainstream - Academic). Congrats to all CO and WL DC. All the best for PSLE.
:congrats: HairyOrange & DS! :rahrah: -

No worry don't think RI will be angry. If NUSH is your DS's dream school then just put NUSH as 1st choice. We don't risk our DC's education just because a school will get angry if we didn't accept the CO right? If you didn't choose a school there will be lots of people waiting to fill in the vacancy so don't worry.

RI is a school, so IT will not be angry or 'not happy'..Roma 1986:

Anyway, all the posting is done through MOE computer system.. As long as a child has a CO from RI, he will be posted to RI (even if he puts RI as his 2nd choice), if he fails to get into his 1st choice secondary school.. Thot all these have been spelt out very clearly (with examples) in the DSA booklet? :scratchhead:
