There are so many parents with SC daughters \"dying\", covet to snatch a seat into Rgps, by balloting like crazy at Phase 2C, under more than 2 km ! Some even cried emptionally during balloting time full of anxiety, burst out in tears inside Rgps school hall premises a few years back, when the balloting \"ping pong ball\" was being swirled round & round inside a golden cage, until the ball roll out of the cage, because parents failed to get a seat for their daughter
A guaranteed spot in RGPS vs a shot in the dark for MGS. That’s a no-brainer.
And here,
she is giving up her previous 2A1 Rgps seat, attempt to fire a blank shot in the dark, at MGS (2C)
Well, many 2C parents outside 2 km eyeing (targeting) Rgps, will clap their hands gleefully, if she wish to withdraw out of Rgps 2A1
because
that means, or translated into,
One more extra seat / vacancy for them available, during balloting time -
If one removes the GEP cohort within RGPS and just compare apple to apple, the mainstream students (MS) perform more or less the same. In fact, I suspect MGS probably perform better.
The average tscore in MGS Pri and RGPS should be around 23X for both. While an “average student” can continue on with MGS Sec vs one has to go to a 23X neighborhood sec school, herein lies a vast difference. That said, to give up 2A1 for a shot in 2C, needs lots of courage! -
This year, is the last batch for MGS primary at Tscore 220.
Next year, whether MGS continue to remain so generous or not anymore, with the equivalent of AL score introduced , yet to be announced (seen), next year (2021) -

If strip out totally those (1.5 to 2) Gep classes inside Rgps,
the average (mean) Tscore for P6 Mainstream (Non-Gep) Rgps students, is around high end of
23x -

As long as one has a \"fall-back-upon\" school, and don't mind the back-up school, can proceed to ballot at MGS (2C)

MOE has yet to announce the new affiliation discount, probably couldn’t reach an agreement with all the affiliated schools to standardize affiliation points to be given

2021 is only another half a year away, after Term 3 start tomorrow, in the twinkle of an eye
In due time, all affliated Secondary schools will know what is their new AL affliation score, going to be -

I agree with this - that both schools are about the same if you compare mainstream with mainstream, and 220 from MG will get you into the sec section while 220 from RG will get you somewhere else. She also stated her reasons for the preference of MGS over RGPS, and for a person coming from the pri school, to reject the school, ok too strong, to prefer another school, or to even start thinking about going to another school, says quite a bit isnt it? So while affiliation score is not yet announced, there will be one eventually right? And MGS sec section, in my opinion, is worth this risk.

Actually i think there is no need to standardise, currently the affiliation cop is also not standardised, i hope they dont try to standardise the AL. No 2 schools are the same.

Although all affliated Secondary schools are different, coming from different various missionary background (Methodist, Anglican, Catholic, Presbyterian, Buddhist affliated Secondary schools), likely that eventually, all will be standardized

maximum, x number of discount points given.
Tscore method is different, where every affliated Sec school can set their own boundary and have their own say
But not for AL
because
AL follow the exact, identical O level \"point by point\" system
In what what, does it follow, identical ?
O level point-by-point, \" L1R5\" scoring system -
The lower, the better the score
How about AL ?
The same!
The lower, the better is your score.
Well, let's see.
Just another 6 more months, 2021 will soon arrive
