Nope. Very fair school. If you plot PSLE v/s O-level result nationwide, this probably will be among first few in term of 'Value add school'

You will probaly get thro' in normal S1 posting exercise, if not, opt for uniform group in Appeal form.

Best wishes

Hi. ^^

I can't comment much on the difficulty as it depends on the individual, like how some people may find something very difficult while another group of people may find the same thing easy.

If you are really interested in learning the third language, go ahead, since without interest, it may be hard for one to persevere and continue till the end. You may not be very good with languages - but that doesn't really matter, just try your best ( and at the same time enjoy learning it ) !

In Secondary school, there will be more subjects, meaning more things to learn and more work to do. However, it should not be a problem if you can manage your time well.

Hope this helps. :rahrah:
Thank you.

Hello, not a parent but an alumni of the school ^^ Just like to share my experience and give a general reply to some questions I saw here:

Regarding the results of 2011 GCE O levels, I'm not very clear of the exact statistics but I've heard from my juniors that we had a top scholar that year, in fact I believe the results are better than the ones for 2010 GCE O levels

Distance wise it's pretty near redhill mrt, 10 mins at a moderate pace is more than enough to reach the school, I've tried running and it takes around ~5 mins xD Usually students will meet with/bump into their friends at the station and walk to school together while chatting, it's a great bonding time.

Actually they do group the students according to their PSLE results but the disparity isn't that significant. Those that are in the C classes (2C1-2C3) will have higher scores, I'd say 246-250 onwards and those in G and S classes will be around 242-245~ Not to worry though there isn't much difference in the quality of teachers allocated and with the streaming in Secondary 3 it's a reshuffle again. Even with the streaming in Sec 3, there won't be any bias towards the triple science class, so yep
The teachers at Crescent are truly the best and will do their best to ensure that the students receive as much help as possible, during my years there consultation sessions with the teachers were a norm rest assured that adequate help is given. Of course, the student must also take the initiative and request for help when needed.

The PC will mostly be of use in the lower secondary years, when there are projects and computer studies etc. It's troublesome to carry around after a while, I guess it serves more as a personal computer for students to download notes and read announcements/emails on the portal than actually used for online research.
There are lots of opportunities for students to develop their character and leadership, (CCA leaders, Councillors, House Leaders, Peer Leaders) and especially if you are in Uniform Groups, as tough as the trainings are it's a wonderful opportunity to gain confidence and life skills such as communication within a team. Most often than not everyone will obtain a leadership post (during sec 3 when they step up to take over their seniors) in a uniform group.
Yes it is stressful, especially in upper secondary but it's good training and preparation for tertiary education. (And to be very honest the stress is nothing compared to the stress levels in JC xD)

My years in Crescent were the best years of my life and I've gained a lot there, be it academic or character/skills, as with my friends, we are all whining about wanting to go back to the days in Crescent, so I hope your daughters/future students will have a equally enjoyable time there
