MMM:

For a child with 214 and staying near tampines/ pasir ris, what would be a good recommendation? I think schools in bedok/ tampines/ pasir ris are within area of consideration.


Anyone familiar wtih Coral Sec? Is it good? Can't really see the academic performance from website. Read the success stories but it's mainly from ex-students who did well in poly....

Can anyone tell me the pros & cons of these 2 schools:

Holy Innocents High
St Gabriel’s Sec

My DD scored 218 in Sengkang area school. She wants to go CHIJ St Joseph, but COP is 227.

My preference is.. girls school, nearby and good 'O' level results. pls help me to find 3 girls schools and 3 mixed schools based on 218..

Some good schools don't have mother tongue, we have to go other schools after school hours to study MT, will it affect her studies?

What is your child's MT? All schools will have Malay & Chinese. There are only a
few co-ed schools in NE with COP of 218 & below. You can try Compassvale, Edgefield, North Vista & Holy Innocents.o

Hi Koguma,

Any feedback on the school? It seems to be 50% express and 50% normal??? Any idea? Asking for nephew. Hope that they make the best possible decision at this point.

Besides this school, what other decent choices can he make for sec schools in bedok/ tampines/ pasir ris area?

Hi all. I am a student. I got 261. I put RGS as 1st choice and NJC as 2nd. Is it risky? Shld i change and put NJC as first choice?

[amaze]

My DD score is 218 and stay in Sengkang


My choices are:

1 CHIJ St Joseph-227
2 Payalaber methodist-233
3 Bowen-223
4 Compassvale-215
5 Edgefield-212
6 Sengkang-196

For choices 4 and 5 have no Tamil MT, so have to study MT in Sengkang Sec after school hours.

Any advice pls?

For 214, you may want to check out the following schools. Not sure what you meant by 50% express and 50% normal. However I noticed that for neighbourhood schools (especially Bedok areas) who median scores between 210 and 220, the number of express classes is about 4 or 5, follow by 2 NA and 1 or 2 NT. I think the same pattern happens in other part of the country.

BEDOK SOUTH SECONDARY SCHOOL (COP: 213 - 228; Median: 216)
CORAL SECONDARY SCHOOL (COP: 210 - 251 ; Median: 214)
EAST SPRING SECONDARY SCHOOL (COP: 208 - 244; Median: 213)
BEDOK GREEN SECONDARY SCHOOL (COP: 205 - 247; Median: 209)
DAMAI SECONDARY SCHOOL (COP: 202 - 228; Median: 207)
TAMPINES SECONDARY SCHOOL (COP: 204 - 227; Median: 207)

You might want to try out for SCGS. I am an SC student and I don't regret coming in here. And I take around one hour to travel to school too so
