[quote=\"heutistmeintag\"]I am very happy coz my DD did better than expected and scored 248, so our choices now are as below and based on COP and distance from home


1) Cedar or Anglican High
2) Ximin
3) Chung Cheng Hgih (main)
4) TKGS
5) Ngee Ann

The other factor she is considering is sports and CCA. Her preferred choices of sports are shooting, floorball, netball and softball.

We would be glad to hear further comments and recommendations. Many thanks in advance!

Consider Cresent school & St. Margarett. Anglican high is SAP school ?

dadofgirl,
if heutistmeintag considers cedar far fr his place, think crescent girls' will be lagi worst yes, anglican high is a sap sch.

heutistmeintag, since yr gal is sporty, cedar girls' will suit her.

my gals classmates/schoolmates ( a girls' sch)are very fond of anglican high, they always discuss amongst themselves of joining anglican high. this school adv being affiliated to st. andrew JC, 2 bonus pts off from \"o\" level.[/quote]Well ... you are in the exact situation as me My DD scored 248 [+2] and looking at the 3 all-girls schools as options .. (with not much time left to decide though)
1. Cedar [COP was 249 in 2012. So, we are a little wary]
2. Crescent Girls
3. TKGS

Frankly, in terms of distance, the travelling time isn't all bad for Crescent Girls. We've actually \"walked the ground\" over the weekend by taking the direct MRT from Simei to Redhill (35 mins) and took a 10 mins walk from Redhill MRT to the school. All in all, it was about 45 mins journey.

For Cedar, it will be a train journey to Aljunied, followed by a 10 mins bus ride to Joo Seng Road before another 5-10 mins walk. With all the waiting time for the bus, it might take slightly less than 40 mins.

For TKGS, i dont think travel time will be any shorter either.

Food for thought.

Hi, my gal got 227 for her PSLE, pls advise what schools can I choose in the East? If I put Temasek as her 1st choice, am I taking a BIG risk as Temasek's cut off pt is 232.

Temasek COP is 230

Hi can anyone give me some feedback on the schools for PSLE score of only 194. We are staying in Tampines.

I am also unsure if I should let my boy enters a good school (St. Hilda) for Normal academic or an average school for express course ?

1. St Hilda's Sec
2. East Spring
3. Junyuang
4. Damai Sec
5. Green view
6. Tampines

Base on my personal experiences for my 2 boys, put your child for NA at a good school. He may be placed in a better NA class than in the last class of an express stream. JMHO

Agreed. Another gd sch to consider for NA stream is Dunman in Tampines. With your son's aggregrate, it should not be a problem as COP for last year was 187. Next you may want to cosider Pasir Ris or even Temasek.

Ngee Ann has only 1 NA class and they admit affiliated students (155 COP). Competition is definitely there for 194 scorer as the school has no non-affiliated admission at all in 2011 and COP for 2012 is 198.

I'm a Dunman Sec supporter. Heard they have good school discipline reputation.

My sister works in Temasek Polytechnic. She says that there are Temasek Sec and Ngee Ann NA students who are doing very well there. In fact at least 4 NA students from the Diploma in Legal Studies course who top the course are pursuing a NUS Law Degree.
