I place Hai Sing as first choice to guarantee him a place in a school. Also, in case the COP gets raised to 226 then he wont make it, but at least that will make my appeal easier. I am considering appealing to MS based on his CCA-Band. As for my 6th choice, do you know which is better Bowen or Mayflower.? Both are very far, not ideal, but I dont have better ones near my house

Hi Bonnie,

Looking at your selection, you look like you stay in north east area. Your post caught my attention because we are also targetting ds for MS (because of the band) but that is in 2 years time... He is only P5 next year.

Hai Sing is in Pasir Ris. Won't that be too far from logistics pov?

I don't know the cut off for Holy Innocent. Also dunno if it is good but impression is is 220+ range???? Dunno if it is worth considering... ?

dh told me that if ds cannot make it to MS, he will consider St Pats (his alma matta) as they have a very good band.... we shall see... :roll:

Hi, I am staying in Tampines so I m selecting schools in the east side

hi

Does anyone know anything about affiliation? if child is from an affiliated primary school, does that mean she will get first priority if she puts the affiliated sec school as 1st choice? Will there be a case where she is not considered? Please advise.

Thanks

[Bonnie]

If your child is affiliated to a certain school and his T-score meets the COP, and if he/she still wants to go into the same sch, its a must to put first choice.


He can be rejected if his t-score falls below COP even thou he is affiliated. I heard many cases like that.

There are few decent schools in Bedok and Tampines for COP about 225. Why goes all the way to AMK ? Is it convenient to go MS from tampines?

Yes its convenient to go MS cos on my way to work, I can send him.
U know about Holy Innocents? Good?

[MMM]

For a child with 214 and staying near tampines/ pasir ris, what would be a good recommendation? I think schools in bedok/ tampines/ pasir ris are within area of consideration.


Anyone familiar wtih Coral Sec? Is it good? Can’t really see the academic performance from website. Read the success stories but it’s mainly from ex-students who did well in poly…

4 DUMAN SEC (COP 229)
