I would think the affiliation to CH would make it easier to go to the sec sch side. But can still DSA and use PSLE score to apply for other schools.

I believe the affiliation is for the O levels programme, not for IP.

[quote=\"kipper\"]for those who studied in Catholic high primary, after PSLE can only go to catholic high and chances to go to other schools like HCI is not high? how about Rosyth, which school do they normally go to after PSLE?

TIA. tearing my hair out....CH or rosyth??:)

Is this so? Can only go to CH (secondary)? Wouldn't where you go depends on results and choice?

I would think the affiliation to CH would make it easier to go to the sec sch side. But can still DSA and use PSLE score to apply for other schools.

But ya, wondering which schools most Rosyth GEP kids pick after PSLE.[/quote]Typically the tops ones wld go to RI for Boys while RGS for Girls.

My DS will not be taking HCL, does that means he can only choose ACS or HPPS?

Hi kabalevsky

Read you looking at hpps n Nyps, have you gathered anything abt them?
I'm still unsure of opting in Gep. My dd is keen but I'm not sure.

[Kabby]

call me Kabby


yes am in process of gathering info. will let ds1 make final decision but will present info to him.

yes i am considering both nyps and hpps, due to distance as well, but i'm much further than you, i think.

some differences between these 2 schools you can chew on:
NYPS : HPPS
1. SAP school: not SAP
2. mainly Chinese: more diversity
3. full max class size: smaller class size
4. larger total no.: smaller GEP center
5. different CCA strengths............................
last point applies to you, not me
6. affliation to NYGH : no affiliation

Kabby, my friend told me NYPS violin ensemble is led by a teacher from Nafa masterclasses.


For Chinese orchestra, you might want to ask for more details from NYPS this Sat. My friend wasn’t too happy with the way the group was handled. But that was 2 years ago.

thanks metz.

i like music groups but ds1 is not interested.
he says basketball, table tennis or badminton.

I heard that Catholic High is going IP programme from 2013 onwards and their entry criteria are getting stringent. Those in their primary will also need to get the minimum entry before they can go to their secondary.
