IP? Don’t think he can take that route.
Thanks but he better stick to the O level route. I am hoping he could switch to St Andrew’s Sec or SJI …but think it will be rather difficult to enter these schools.[/quote]

Another school that you could consider is Maris Stella. Among all the 3 boys’ schools, chances of getting into St Andrew is highest. Don’t give up. There is a will, there is a way. Nothing is impossible

Maris Stella is a SAP school.

your son former primary school also SAP.

if he enter Maris, is like a … fish swimming in water, because he’s familiar with SAP environment.

Forget the former things; do Not dwell on the past.
when January 2013 come and your son enter a new Sec school Sec 1, he’s going to embark on a new journey, starting with a new clean sheet of white paper again !

Run down this new journey. Look forward, with a new zeal of energy.

Hi phtthp/mummy so kiasu,

I really have a good feel for St Andrew’s…did consider Maris Stellar too.
Am pushing son to work hard and plan his own schedule…with 8-9 subjects, he really needs to know how to plan. I cannot be spoon-feeding him anymore. Thank you for your encouragement.

I nearly wanted to Put Saint Andrews as one of our 6 choices until my wife found out that they don't conduct Higher Chinese in the school. If your kid takes higher Chinese, he/she will have to go to another centre - very troublesome.

You don't to be from a SAP primary school in order to go to a SAP sec school. Some SAP schools only offers HCL but others have both CL & HCL.

Maris Stella seems like a good school, though the COP seems to have dropped somewhat over the years…

[janet88]

I am not against my first choice of school…but I really hope he gets a chance to go to st Andrew’s…but if he can’t, no problem staying put in the one we chose…now really really hope he can get in first. One step at a time.

Rains, do you happen to have percentage of quality passes (A/A*) for NYPS 2012? Do you know 2011 average?

Rains,

what's the average mean score for Nanyang Mainstream (ignore GEP) -
both 2011 and 2012 ?

also %tage of Quality passes (A/A*) for 4 subjects, both years ?

Hi mummies,

You wouldn't believe it. I found some 2009 to 2011 stats in my Hp pics. The info was shared early this year to update parents on how the students did for psle 2011.

In 2011, the average t score was 238.9. 45.96% (including gep) got 250 and above. Quality passes for English was 89.4%, Chinese was 96.2%, maths was 81.1%, science was 82.2%.
