Morn newuser,
NCHS is Band 2, updated.
Compassvale(CVSS) is Band 7(updated). It's COP is 214(Express).
This sch believes in develop'g it's students to their fullest potential. How?
Emphasis is given to curriculum planning to stretch the abilities of the students.
It had achieved Value-Added Award for Exp n Normal Course plus awards for its Uniform Groups.
Believe it's the academics status u are more keen in this sch, so wont dwell too further.

Sengkang Sec is not Banded for its Express but Band 5 for Normal Course.
COP is 194.
It's Niche Status is Hockey,CCA. It has DSA for Hockey.
Awards achieved in Sports, Uniform Groups n Aesthetics.
Heard that Graduat'g classes have Air-Conditioned classrooms.

As for yr query on Schs Band 3-6, that depends on which areas u are referring. SengKang areas only NCHS is Top Tier Bands. CHIJ SJC and CVSS BAND 7.

That's all....tks.

Parents,

Am I right to assume from this year onwards, the MOE Sec Sch posting booklet will not have the banding information at all? Where can you get the banding info then - available online? Just very curious to know if MOE acted so fast in removing all banding!

Don't think the banding of secondary schools will be publicly available from 2012 onwards.


As a guide, parents can refer to the last published banding in 2011. Here is the link

http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2011/09/recognising-best-practices-of-schools.php

For ease of reference, the Express and NA banding of schools are in Annex F1 and F2 respectively. Can check out the rest of the annexes for other information relevant to your child's edu needs

Hi crester,


Why is Seng kang sec school express not banded and normal is?

Morn,
Band'g of sch is based on English+ Best 5 subj (L1B5) scored in GCE 'O' Level.

This L1R5 scores will group Sec Schs into the diff Bands.
Band 9 is the lowest tier with L1R5 of scores 18-18.9.
SKSS is not banded for its Exp, shows its performance of last yr Sec 4 cohort after comput'g L1R5 exceeded 19.

Normal course is Banded fr Band 1-5 only.
Band 5 is the lowest tier.

Hope that helps.
