2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

I think, generally speaking, for schools with affiliation cop may not drop much.
After admitting students from affiliated primary school, there are fewer vacancies for ‘outsiders’. With a more limited supply (vacancies) versus schools without affiliation, cop likely to be supported. -
zbear:
Although TJC more established than RVH : seems like newer IP schools like Catholic High, SCGS / SNGS getting more popular.
TJC is also IP school n COP also dropped to 249.Stressedupmom:
River valley dropped from 256 to 249?
Why such a sharp drop for this ip school when most of the other ip schools dropped only average of 2 points?
Why the focus on RVH n not TJC when TJC is more established?
In fact, apart from R*, H* family, and ACS, Catholic High is popular, amongst the boys.
not sure why TJC doesn't seem to do marketing of her IP programme.
Frankly, little is known about her IP programme, inspite of being more established, than the others.
Not sure what is the direction of TJC now -

On a separate note, I think ip has no affiliation other than nygh.I think, generally speaking, for schools with affiliation cop may not drop much.

The affiliation to other ip schools are only for O track, not the ip track. -

I agree n I find it very strange.
During my time (donkey years ago), TJC is one of the best JCs n its very difficult to get in.
I suppose due to its long time establishment, everyone feels its able to maintain its standard, thus, attaining IP status.
However, I cant kept noticing that over the years, TJC is not as competitive as the top JCs (although its O level entry is still high).
I don't have the statistics n info and I may be wrong but I think TJC doesn't produce 'startling' A level results. Its not in the top 5 JCs this year.
If I have offended anyone from TJC, pls pardon me as its just my opinion n I hope you can correct me if I am wrong.

True, I am also wondering what is TJC's IP programme about and its direction now. Even the TJC thread in KSP forum is so quiet!phtthp:

I think on a college level, tj's standard is not what it used to be. Pupils in the east actually do not have much of a choice for ip schools if they don't want to travel too far.zbear:

Besides TJC, Dunman and VJC are in the east tooPupils in the east actually do not have much of a choice for ip schools if they don't want to travel too far.

I do not have much info about TJC but I believe it is still very popular for students residing in the east. It's like the next best, queuing behind VJC.phtthp:

I know of recent past graduates from TJC obtaining overseas university scholarships and students who chose TJC over VJC for a less stressful environment.
Most JCs do not publish their A level results now so we do not know about TJC's performance but since their intakes are high ability O level performers, I have no doubt about their A level results.
These days, there are many JCs which retain their students at JC1 for purpose of obtaining better overall A level performance for the schools. I do not see TJC following this trend to impress the public which is 'ethical'.
Afterall, it's MOE's wish to keep top schools in low profile now though some schools are still trying hard to 'market' themselves.
Above are just my personal opinion and observation.

Tjc is definitely not the top tier school nor it aspires to be one. It takes one to be familiar with tjc’s culture and philosophy to realise that it is a class of its own. Because of its low profile, little is known of the school.
Parents who sent their kids to elite schools or rich men schools are definitely more in tuned and passionate with discussion in this forum. The quietness of a school forum should not be used to measure the popularity of the school. -
Comparing the year 2003, Rgs intake is dropping from 450 to 400. Those schools did not want to drop their cop as it will result student quality for those top schools. As I think paper is getting more easy and a lot of students will make mistakes here and there. This will result in EESIS also dropped. I called moe they did not announce the top 10% cop and they only tell me the cop of EESIS. This year EESIS cop remains the same as last year which is 258. Dsa of Rgs took 200 places, s1 posting is only 200, may be 190 as school usually has some places for appeal. Hope Rgs will remain the same intake as this year 400 places.
