7 New IP schools
-
Brenda10:
Only two IP (Cedar and VS) school will benefit the students (P5 now) who are taking PSLE on 2011 based on their Secondary 1 intake on Year 2012. That's mean that our choices (either boy or girl) only increase by 1 on next year Secondary School selection. Wow, still very tough.
Cedar & Victoria will have 50 students from this year P6 students.. so cut off for this school will be high this year S1 posting.
Can someone highlight will this bring L1R5 lower\" -
verykiasu2010:
yes, yes,no mix up on your part; i saw the reply too[/quote]Haiz, anyway, also don't apply to my boy. Only for the younger one which is many many years later.
Innovate answered my query a long time ago. So I didn't bother paying attention to the subsequent answers. No mix up on my part.jtoh:

[quote=\"WeiHan\"]wah...the marriage of 1 boy school with two girls schools. At JC level, Cat high boys can have afford to have two girl friends. :lol:

L1R5 is DIRECTLY irrelevant to IP students since L1R5 is applicable to O level only...
however,... more students will likely try to go to Victoria School and Cedar as a whole ... to have 2nd shot at IP at sec 3 in Victoria/Cedar... and with Victoria JC as affiliated JC and Victoria Sch principal already said on TV students can switch IP back to O or O to IP if deemed appropriate later on.....
Victoria sch boys ALWAYS have 2 points off the L1R5 advantage going to VJC using the standard O level Route, thats why it is called Victoria JC when started in early 80s and is the affiliated offspring of Victoria school ... (which now maybe VJC would also extend 2 bonus points to Cedar girls of O level route too since now is officially sister school, no 1 is sure except Victoria's internal pple)
hence i think the COP of VS and Cedar will slowly increase from current middle 24+ to around 248 - 255 range in near future......, then these future batches of L1R5 will improve lor... nothing rocket science lah, good 1 in good 1 out... garbage in garbage out...in most cases.... -

Actually I don't think RI and HCI call themselves 'boys schools' during the JC years. In fact, if you go to the RI website, both boys AND girls are clearly shown in the photographs. http://www.ri.edu.sg/#[/quote]You could be right. So they are now all co-ed schools.
yes, i am aware that all 3 schools take in girls from Year 5.kiaaik:
[quote=\"jtoh\"]
I'm trying to understand what you mean by \"as far as I know, RI and HCI are still known as boys schools\". Do you mean that you are not aware that both schools are co-ed in Years 5 & 6? Or do you mean that you are aware that both are co-ed but you associate the names RI & HCI with boys schools?
And why would you think the ACSI is co-ed? The school is all-boys from Year 1-4 and only co-ed in Year 5-6.
ri and hci still state that they are boys' schools
there was a ST article when acsi started taking in girls and it was mentioned that acsi is now co-ed
this is the difference which i am wondering why -

Officially, there is no such thing as brother or sister schools, except those within the family - Catholic, Methodist, Anglican.
RGS has a different history from RI but have 2 bonus pts in the past when they go to RJC. -
Got this from Zaobao. Interesting reading if you read Chinese.
Like in this forum, the CHS-SNG-SCGS combination saga has been dominating the media news.
欢迎 惊讶 纳闷 校友对三校合作反应不一
（2010-09-02）
公教中学、圣尼各拉女校和新加坡女子中学将合办直通车课程，受访的三校校友都对母校办直通车表示欢迎，不过一些圣尼各拉女校和新加坡女中校友对消息感到惊讶，他们认为学校存在文化差异，对三校的合作感到不解。
受访的公教和圣尼各拉校友虽然毕业多年，但都记得两校是兄妹学校，他们求学时两校会一起举行运动会等活动，因此对两校合办直通车不感意外，只是对新加坡女子中学的加入感到纳闷。
不过，一些受访的校友也说，从积极的角度来看，英校背景的新加坡女中，跟有较浓厚中华文化底蕴的公教和圣尼各拉学生可互相取长补短。
圣尼各拉女校校友会会长周蕴菁（49岁，医生）从记者口中得知消息后，表示感到意外，因为校友会之前所知道的圣尼各拉直通车合作对象只有公教中学。
她说，校友会原本希望学校能借助办直通车时，增强该校华文文化的基础，不过“这次不但没有达到我们想看到的目的，我们反而担心原来的基础是否会更加受影响”。
不过她也说，新加坡女中是一所很有特色的学校，三所学校之间能够互补，未必是一件坏事。只是她认为新加坡女中跟圣尼各拉和公教在语言和文化上有蛮大的差异，学生首四年在不同的学校上课，之后的两年才在同一所初级学院上课，这与六年的培育是不同的，她认为六年直通车应该是一个完整的过程，而不是“四加二”的计划。
周蕴菁说，新加坡女中有很多优点和特色，但毕竟与圣尼各拉和公教的传统有别，“我不希望在为了互相配合，互相妥协的情况下，改变了大方向。”
她指出，在学校筹划申请直通车时，校方和董事会邀请校友会参与，借助校友会宽广的网络来为学生提供课程以外的学习。她们之前就计划，当学校直通车开通后，散布在不同领域如大学、法律界、医院等的校友可让学生到这些地方浸濡。若有需要，也可进行筹款，很多校友表示为此捐献，是最有意义的一件事。
新加坡女中校友沈丽莲（28岁，媒体工作者）说，学校办直通车令人鼓舞，因为这意味着同学们可以继续一起求学，不需在O水准后分开。但她希望，学校的传统可一直延续到新的初级学院，学妹对学校的热爱而继续在校升学的坚持，不会在升上新初院后失去意义。
她也认为，与公教和圣尼各拉合办直通车课程的好处在于，能提高学妹的华语能力，不过如果因此而失去学校原有的特色，她会感到难过。
另一名校友林怡秀（28岁，医生）计划把1岁半和即将出世的两个女儿都送到新加坡女校。她的丈夫和小姨则分别是公教附小和圣尼各拉女校毕业生，因此对两校都有认识，也不会排斥，夫妇俩也是天主教徒。她表示不会因此改变原来的打算。
圣尼各拉校友赖素琴（37岁，银行税务部副总裁）和公教的校友林锡辉（41岁，经理）都对母校开办直通车表示欢迎，他们认为认为现有制度注重考试，学生在直通车课程下可有更多时间获得学术以外的全方面发展。赖素琴有两个女儿，大女儿目前在圣尼各拉小学部求学，林锡辉（41岁，经理）则公教求学10年，他的8岁儿子目前就读于公教附小。
林锡辉说，升上新初院不是大问题，反正公教学生中四毕业就要换学校。另外，如果他的儿子小学后升上公校中学直通车，至少他不会12年都在纯男校。而且另外两所学校也是好学校，可相辅相成。
