How can a girl go to an All-boys' school?[/quote]
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.kwcllf:
[quote=\"sujatha\"]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?.
:slapshead: BTW, when has this thread become sec school selection huh? :offtopic:

Since tjc, mgs, scgs will only take in the first batch in 2013, may I know where did you obtain the cop from these schools?

Agree that it's too extreme. furthermore who knows who is the top student in Singapore? Unless moe confirms the identity, which likely it won't. :?
I think what you mentioned is too extreme. I can't imagine if there is a gag order on our kids or the parents that they cannot mention 'so and so' from 'so and so' school obtained 'XXX' !tinwhoong:
I believe that most parents are so concerned on the results at PSLE, which is the first exam of the life of Singapore children. I only caution that any information pertaining to the results is now classified as undisclosable. Any attempt to disclose it without the permission from the school and MOE is deemed as invasion of privileged information.
Whatever so-called \"I heard\" from so and so will never been validated. If I am not wrong, I think that MOE will have the power to stop any parent from engaging the media to report on their children's high score.
Please do with a bit of wisdom, I do not know how MOE and the school will view it. If any names of the so-called top student, will it deemed as contradicting the current new policy. The MOE will reserve the rights to pursue the matters as they deem fit.
I caution myself not to be involved of sharing the information I know. This is because I do not know how MOE will view it. This is new policy and let us discuss it with the term, I heard, I was told by my son or daughter who happen to be friend that their classmate get how much and so on. Do not say \"so and so (with reference to actual name) of \"so and so\" school obtained 279, 285, 283. It might land you in trouble if MOE intend to pursue it, it might question the school, and slowly filter down to the actual person who release such information. -

It is a well-intended initiative by MOE, however, it is not a 'gag\" order by LAW. so don't worry. Those who share info are not breaching Law.
I believe the KSP who share the information here are also willing to provide useful info for fellow parents for various reasons.
That in fact shows the well-intended act by MOE is meaningless. -
tinwhoong:
Thank you for the caution. The way you put it make it sound like a felony to disclose information about top performers. If that is indeed the case, shouldn't MOE come up front and state the exact penalties for disclosing such \"privileged information\". Would it be right to charge people of a crime retroactively by stating the rules after the fact?I believe that most parents are so concerned on the results at PSLE, which is the first exam of the life of Singapore children.

Until such a ruling is made clear and present, please do not add to the confusion by speculating on the dangers of parents or students talking about grades. We do not believe that obfuscating information is the solution to rebalancing the stress on academic performance. -
May I confirm this is how posting works
If a child A gets 250. Child B gets 249.
Child A selects School X as first choice and School Y as second choice.
However School X has no more vacancies.
Say there is only 1 last slot in School Y
At the same Child B selects School Y as the first choice.
Which child gets the last slot in School Y? Is the posting algorithm documented anywhere where the public can review?
Many thanks. -

Child A with 250 gets the place in School Y. The process is very clearly described in that big grey book given to your P6 child.May I confirm this is how posting works
