I admit I am a Kiasu parent. It is also wonderful to see the kids in these schools got such wonderful PSLE grades. However, I do not think it makes much sense to focus only on the toppest score of the school. After all, the toppest score is more of a confirmation of the individual kid's effort than the school's overall effort. It's the total numbers of kids that scored up 260+, 250+ that reflect the standard of the school.

Hi,


I've a few questions, not sure if it's appropriate to post it here:

1) with the same T-score, will my 1st choice will be of higher priority than your 2nd choice?

2) Is everyone offered Malay/Arabic for 3rd language?

3) My child is eligible for SAP school. But he didn't meet the MOE's requirement of MT = A* or HMT <= MERIT. Does it mean if he goes to SAP, he will do Normal MT? I also heard that some SAP schools offer only HMT. Thus, does it mean then the MOE's requirement will be overriden?

TIA!

1. Posting is based on merit, not on your choice vs my choice. So, when it comes to your child's turn, the system will look at his choices accordingly and post to whichever that still has vacancies. If all his 6 choices are full, then, he will be post to the nearest sec school from his home address which still has vacancy.

2. No, not everyone is offered 3rd language. Top 10% offered all the 3rd Lang, including french, German and jap. Then the next x% will be offered only Malay, Arabic, etc.

3. Not too sure. Maybe should call the school to ask. I thought the requirements are not that stringent.

Hi everyone,

I don't know how relevant it is to ask this help here when you all have other major concerns. I apologize if this hurts anyone. I am genuinely interested in some help in choosing my daughter's secondary school. She scored 252 + 2 for HMT. She has been a school topper in previous years and a consistent high scorer. All the while we were having a high expectation like 260+ and dreaming about top schools with IP. I feel very helpless to choose her school. Does she have any chance to get into IP programme?. If not what other good choice of school I have?. I live in marine parade. Will appealing for recorrection help in anyway?.

cedar girls has IP (newly set up), right? perhaps u can try cedar.
for non-IP in the east, can consider anglican and chung cheng which are both good schools, i think.

Need some advise please.... My girl got 235, any good sec school in west for this range?

Hi, just to share.. There is this education and careers guidance portal at https://ecareers.sg that MOE set up. Need your DC's BC no. to login. Apparently, it's available to all students from P1 onwards but seems that very few parents know about it. It has a neat feature where you can key in your DC's PSLE agg and limit by geographical region to get a list of schools. Hope this helps.

Not that we want to focus on the top score. But information about total number of kids that scored 260+, 250+ is not readily available.

Cedar cut-off for IP is 258. Do you think there is a chance for my daughter to get in.

u r quite a few points below the cutoff, so might be very slim chance, to be honest.

You may want to try Catholic High. They will be having IP program next year for the first time. Thin your daughter's score should be good enough for the school.
