COP 2012 - For Secondary Schools in 2013

[desperatedad]

Hi,


DD scored 244 but was not posted to Crescent. Thinking of appealing too

[Mum of 3]

Reminder to parents to bring enough cash to buy books and uniform at the school.


I tried filing appeal for DD last year. Her T-score is the COP for the school so I was hopeful at first. However, her appeal was not successful. According to the school, they can only take in a student if another student transfers out and there was v little student movement last year (perhaps 1 or 2). Waiting for the result of the appeal is v unsettling for both parents and child.

There are cases of students filing appeal to transfer to a school with COP lower than their T-score. Such appeal cases tend to have a much higher chance of success.

Hi,


Can anyone advice what is the COP for Hua Yi Secondary school for 2013 intake?

My DS posted to the school as 2nd choice...missed Jurong Secondary school by 2 points...

Thanks in advance.

I think it may be 222 or 221 as last year it was 220

The increase in the COP of those 'top' schools is consequece of the dragon year.


Based on the formula, 250 is the benchmark for the top 10% candidates. Last year, there were 45261 candidates, but this number has increased to 48333 this year, which means there are 300+ more candidates who have scored 250+ this year. As there is no significant increase in the vacancies in those 'top' schools, their COPs certainly go up.

The COP went up for top schools because of the additional dragon year candidates and these schools not increasing their enrolment. Some schools where the enrolment was increased (decided by MOE) to cater for the additional candidates saw their COP decreasing slightly. I believe the 'top\" schools have more leeway in deciding their enrolments with MOE being more flexible with them or they could have made a strong case not to have their enrolments increased due to limited infrastructure. Next year the COP for these top schools will come down again to previous levels.

I am surprised the SCGS(IP) is 252 and the SCGS(O) is only one point lesser at 251. I expected the SCGS(IP) COP to be higher.

TJC is more established espcially since already have an IP programme for Sec 3 students and have a proven track record for JC. Much better than unknowns like SCGS, SNGS and CHS where they have no IP experience at all and will go on to form a brand new JC which will have many teething problems. Ironically COP for these 3 schools is higher than TJC. I believe got to do more with location as TJC is not as centrally located as the other 3.

location certainly play a part. at central location, u can go there from north, east and west besides central (south). if you are at east, u attract those from east basically

Thanks...I called the school and the staff refused to disclose the information. Just told me that the COP goes up...but not sure how much...

I am still thinking whether to appeal for Jurong Secondary School....

Both school offered CCA -Track & field/ Cross Country that my DS wants to join and the subjects offer almost the same.

Do schools look at CCA track records when appeal? My DS participated in National Track and Field event and entered final although no medal won...

I am from far North and daughter got a place at TJC. I believe in a small country like Singapore , location should never be a factor especially from Secondary level onwards. Important to get the best school for the child regardless of location. Parents nowdays really pamper their kids with anything more than 20 minutes away being considered too far.
