zero goes to normal stream

Do you mean zero for 2012? I think it's not likely to be zero all these years because there are foundation students (even if the number is low).

in one of the previous years, 20 out of 480 got into NA. not stated if they were from foundation[/quote]Thanks for sharing. Maybe NYPS has more foundation kids for that year. Over all, its results are very impressive. However the number of GEP have to separate from mainstream, as few schools offer GEP.

Just to add about the spotlight on NYPS.


Personally, I take the exceptionally excellent results this year to be from the \"hunger\" factor. No one made the top list last year and hence the school really wanted to prove its might.

Motivation is a very important factor in achieving success.

That's an interesting way to look at it but I've never felt this way about the school - wants to prove their might or top the list. How i feel about the school is that it wants to leverage on the children's abilities and maximize their potential rather. It wants to help open as many windows as possible for the children.

How to know if my DD is eligiable to take Higher Chinese in Secondary 1 ? Is there anyone who received letter from MOE confirming such eligibility ?

If I'm not wrong as long as your T score >245 you are eligible. But not 100% sure.

Its stated in the letter that comes with the result.

1. Top 10% T-score in psle, or

2. A* in CL or at least merit in HMT

[Yanchong]

I have checked and none of the student got such letter. DD is the top 10% with A* in Chinese and Merit in Higher Chinese. I am puzzled ?
