Did anyone received any call or notice from school to collect the PSLE certificate from 8 Dec onwards ? Thanks.

Depending on school.
When taking results last Friday, DD school principal mentioned to collect cert after 17th Dec for their school.

Just received confirmation from FT, for DS school, certificate will be available for collection from 8th onwards. :thankyou:

My DD scored 252 , after all the good suggestions and considering our location these are the school choice we’ve submitted last night.

1. RGS
2. MGS(IB)
3. SCGS (IP)
4. SCGS (Express)
5. MGS (Express)
6. BPGHS

I know first two choices are out of her reach, but planning to appeal for RGS as she is fm RGPS. Hoping for No.3 SCGS(IP) base on last year COP. Finger crossed. How u all predict ? thanks

the further you’re away from RGS Cut off point :
slimmer the chance, even if appeal.

but Rgps not affliated to Rgs Sec.

assuming that this year scenario, going to be the same as last year.
just assume …

last year (2013) : COP for Rgs was 259.
a lot, a lot of girls with 258, 257 (from many other schools in Sg, not just from rgps) already appealed.
how many appealed last year ?
more than 100, from those with 258, 257, 256

from what you put down -
interpret that you’re going for IP, rather than O level.
that is why you put #2, #3 as IB / IP, instead of O level.

in your heart, you prefer SCGS IP (#3), instead of MGS IB (#2).
however, because MGS IB has higher COP (256), compared to SCGS (IP) : 251 (based on last year), that is why you place #2, #3 as such

If you don’t like MGS (IB), why don’t you substitute #2 with NJC ?
NJC is IP (255), while MGS (IB) was 256.
at least, even if appeal, 255 is nearer to your 252.
below 3 points still can appeal.
moreover, since this year overall P6 cohort performance drop compared to last year, it is possible that COP for NJC may drop.

between NJC and MGS (IB), which one you really prefer ?
actually a lot of our Rgps girls do consider NJC, if they fail to enter RGS
NJC just behind our school (Hillcrest).
not just rgps, but also pupils from other primary schools around Bukit Timah like NYPS, Pei Hwa, etc - they will also consider NJC, if they can’t get HCI / NYGH / RI / RGS

although NJC is co-ed, but ratio of girls still exceed that of boys, in class.
moreoever, NJC A level curriculum had been established for many years, compared to the new up and coming JC that combine (SNGS, SCGS, CHS)

but need to highlight something …
NJC no school bus provided
you have to resolve school bus yourself
what some students do is they "dong bang" HCI school bus, drop off along main road, then walk in

As you stay somewhere around Pasir Panjang area
That’s why Cedar / VJC too far, for you

Thanks

I stay in choa chu kang area. Cedar girl is too far. and no school bus. I prefer MGS(IB) but donno whether she can make it or not base on last year COP. Both my daughter and wife prefer girls school. personally I like NJC. Now hoping for either MGS(which is little far off as per last year COP) or SCGS. both school got school bus and good communication from my place. If everything fail Bukit panjang govt high school is last resort which.
