I think 1st ip. Agree with u, that they don’t want to indicate any cop, but at least shld give some indicative range lah. Very kiasi in this case.

St nicks is a very good school. The demand to enrol will be high no doubt.

I would think it should be around same as cedar, maybe a bit higher if more of their affiliated students with high t score choose to stay on.

If their express cut off is 249, then for ip it's ard cedar standard. Any points higher will be nygh or RGS Liao.

[quote=\"yukilei\"]Just to share. For those who are going for Hwa Chong's Parent Symposium on 20th Oct, Sat, I've confirmed with HCI that the kid can tag along.

Thanks Yukilei! I definitely need to bring him along as no one is at home with him that day.

You're welcome. Same here, I need to bring DS too. Beside, I think it's good for him to hear from \"horse mouth\" on how the life will be like. But DS said they probably will be introduced abt HCI during the camp on 17 & 18th.[/quote]Can only the kid attend?

The prev yrs COP of cedar n st nic are quite close. So won’t be surprise it’ll be close for their IP too.

But st nic may be able to retain their top students from their pri school n also attract top catholic students who wish to stay in the family, their could be higher. Also, since the tops students will be spread over to newer ip schools, we may perhaps see some drop for the prev top schools.

Anyway, if u r interested, just put it as yr higher choice.

I read abt the IP programme article in today's straits times. It says more emphasis into non core subjects research and teaching. wonder if MOE will step in to help IP students to prepare themselves for the A levels.

Have not read that yet. But I presume if these r mostly 255 or higher, they r of some 'pedigree' n prolly need much lesser time doing the standard academic stuffs. So they can make better use of their time acquiring other skills.

agree. but having said that, students still need to prepare for the exam, which is still syallabus based…it’s like another PSLE exam you know, but this time for the 18 year old boys and girls.

There will still be some form of streaming at yr 3 n 5 so they still have to put up a good fight during the yr2/4 exams.
