Secondary School Selection 2012

[insanePaPa]

My dd scored 232+2. My 1st 3 choices would be as follows:


1. Ngee Ann Sec (COP: 233) May not make it. But if can, would it matters if my dd is in the last of the cohort? What's at stake? 5min walk from where we stay.
2. Dunman Sec (COP:229)
3. Temasek Sec (COP: 230)
4.
5.
6.

For the remaining choices, we're contemplating on the below few schools in the East. They're:

Hai Sing Catholic (COP: 225) No clue on this school. Any comments? Affiliated to Catholic JC.
Bedok View (COP: 217) Will be in top of cohort.
St. Hilda's (COP: 228) No clue on this school. Any comments?
Pasir Ris (COP: 221) DD teacher's told them \"better not choose\" :?
Nan Chiau High (COP: 236) SAP school. Risky, still out by 2pts after +2 in HCL.

We hope to hear more comments and recommendations on the above schools' choices before firming the final 6s.

:thankyou:

I am not so familiar with those schools listed above.

I will place my top 2 choices as Nan Chiau (-2) and Ngee Ann (-1) and be prepared to appeal.

Any good schools to recommend for TScore 249+2, a girl. Stay in Jurong.

TIA.

The Best is of course RVHS (2011 COP:254), so be prepared to appeal. You might want to go down and talk to the P/VP abt your chances or how to improve your chances of getting in. But bear in mind your daughter must be prepared to work hard bec life in RV might be quite challenging.

Other schools to consider : MGS, Crescent Girls', CHIJ St Nick, SCGS, BPGH, NHHS.

I seriously think RVHS is out, even with HCL point can't even reach last year COP. Thanks for recommending.

My daughter score 238 + 1 . Any chance of getting into Nan Hua (COP 243 last year) if I appeal for her?

Miss by 4 pts (2011 COP:243), do you have anything to back you up. e.g. performing arts or sports. You may want to go down to the school and talk to the P/VP abt your chances.

Theres a possibility of ip schools cop going down and o level going up due to the number of new ip places at the expense of o level places, bearing in mind that the points cut off for top 10% of cohort remains constant at 249 points.
