[quote=\"g2\"]SNGS will hv around 190 places for its IP programme and about the same number of places for its O level programme . So since they hv offered only less than 30 places out of 190 available places through the DSA exercise, looking on the bright side, those who did not get the COs have quite a high chance of filling up the remaining 160 or so places in the IP programme ....so Jia you to all our DDs!

Am I correct to say that with more places available at S1 posting stage, we can expect a lower COP?

I don't think so, the COP for the IP would still be 250[/quote]
If not wrong, last year's lowest COP for IP school is RV at 254. So 250 is considered low for IP...cedar o level was 249 last yr?[/quote]
I also think that 250 is bit low for COP for IP. IP is generally meant for top ~7% of the cohort and 250 is the T score for the top 10%.

The IP is not meant to be an elite prog that’s what the SNGS principal said . Both the IP track n the O level tracks hv their own merits n cater to diff learning styles

I’m not sure if it is appropriate to place this query here but do really appreciate to hear some opinion. "What would be your choice between SJI-IB vs HCI? SJI has projected a very convincing image that it is a school of character whilst the latter is a highly sought after, reputable institution with good track records."

Does your DS love Higher Chinese ? If Yes then perhaps HCI would be more suitable given the culture. Also need to look at the Big Fish in Small pond or Small Fish in the Big pond analogy. Where do you want your DS to be?

Agree with emoh, if i had a son I would hv started him out at catholic high and then to HC, i prefer to go for a school tat touches on tradition, culture and character building.

They will not have many chances to mix with Singaporeans of other races.

Since we are on the character building…anyone has recommendation of which Sch would you think is a good Girl’s Sch?


After going thru DSA for DS this year, realised I din do much ‘homework’ but luckily DS seems ‘stronger’ in char, so I dun have to worry much. But DD will be a headache, so think I better start knowing how are the girls’ Sch like before her PSLE 2013. Am staying west area, so preferably not further than bukit timah.
