Secondary School Selection 2012

[ccgoh]

I heard that the discipline in CHS is good. That may be another consideration for my boy but he says he does not like CHS well we will see. What was the cut off point for CHS last year do you know?

This year (2012 S1 admission) (PSLE 2011) COP is 248. In 2013, CHS will go IP. So your DS can take the IP route too

CHS is not bad. What's more (this is news from the inside!) the principal says he will build a new students corner facility (it's quite big actually.) because of the IP route available in 2013.

O level course students will be able to use the facility too :imanangel:

Here's the COP of CHS for the past years (O-level-route)

Sec 1 Admission (2009) COP: 249
2010 COP: 248
2011 COP: 247
2012 COP: 248

I hve 2 kids, the elder took his PSLE in yr 2005 and will be enlisted coming May. The younger girl took her PSLE in yr 2006 and is now in j2.


If i will to do it all over again, apart from academics, ccas and travelling distance are my main consideration and i heck care about a school's culture and IP status or not doesn't bother me at all.

From a parent whose kids qualifed for IP schools but only the younger one had chosen this route.

I understand IP route isn't simple and requires kids to be independent learners. My son is hoping to get into SJI or ACS independent. So I hope he is able to focus and work very hard (without me having to nag) to get into his dream secondary school. it's already mid March.

Sji will be relocating to temp holdings I heard. My boy said he won’t be keen if the relocated site is going to be too far away.read somewhere that it’s goingto be in bishan n in year 2013 n 2014. Any verification? that was supposed to be one of our preferred choice too. Haiz.

I read that sji will be relocating to temp site in year 2014 n 2015 - not 2013,14 as I stated earlier. so they can upgrade the current site for their IP programme. U may want to check the parents network thread to find out more.

Come to Maris Stella High School! Its an all-boys SAP school

My friend went there! He got a MacBook Air for all his lessons at MSHS.

On this note, many kids here would want to go. -WAHAHAHAHAHA-

And parents probably won't allow them to spend $2000 to buy a MacBook Air

Hoping to put my son in MSS in 2014 via band DSA. This is one of our targetted school.

Best that you visit the Open House of both NUSH and NYGH to gauge for yourself the ambience, the culture, the pedagogy and the teaching staff there. Both are good in their own way.
