PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

phtthp:

why NYGH special treatment ?
why NYPS girls given special privilege to enter IP track, minimal 250 ?

why MOE don't make NYPS girls follow rules and order -
ie. No discount for any affliation into IP track.
ie. make NYPS girls follow the same rules and regulation as
ACSI, SJI, St Nics, SCGS, MGS, CHS IP.

Donno lah..
But thinking logically, NYGH is among one of the first schools with affiliation to start IP. So naturally it may wish to give their affiliated girls the same privilege to IP route. Further the earlier phase 1 IP is meant for top 10% so COP 250 looks logical for affiliated girls.

However down the road other Sec schs with affiliation also started IP but with dual tracks eg ACSI. The newer IPs with affiliated pri schs thus must have reviewed the pros and cons.

That's no right or wrong I suppose. NYGH 250 is not an easy mark to meet anyway for affiliated girls. Meanwhile the dual track IPs have small IP cohorts while taking in many affiliated kids in their O levels track.

phtthp:

across all schools in SG -


from P6 entering into Secondary 1:-
IP programme never affliated.
only those with high score(s) get in.

but O level track can be affliated, in some schools.

from end of Sec 2 Express stream trying to seek transfer into Sec 3 IP -
can try.
But note that local Singaporeans will be competing with overseas Asean scholars, for limited Sec 3 IP places.

One IP has affiliation - NYGH.
NYPS girls with 250 and above can enter its IP program via affiliation route.
Thus the S1 seats are always more limited.

Other IPs with affiliated pri school but no discount for affiliation into IP track include: ACSI, SJI, St Nics, SCGS, MGS, CHS etc.

Dual track schools do not give discount to IP track. Affiliated pri schools can go O level track. NYGS does not have O level track.

Thks blurberry, I also believe onsponge is good, it was after june that the class teacher asked them to do it, and rushed through it. They didn’t manage to finish the book, which was quite a waste. Since it was the teacher who requested them to get the book, I thought the teacher would be actively do it, even earlier.

Now that my dd2 s book list has the on sponge , I hope it ll be put to good use.

That’s a bit too rushed because some of the OnSponge methods need a bit of getting used to. The school introduced it to the banded classes at first. After that they tried it on selected students fm non-banded classes who were a bit stronger in Maths. My girl was fm the 2nd category.

there is affiliation for IP

for NYGH, if the NYPS girls get 247+3 or 248+2 or 249+1, or 250+0 or higher they are assured of a place in NYGH if they place NYGH first choice even when their COP has been 26+

It's the end only if he/she gives up trying. There's still Northlight school for those who need a different curriculum.
