Hi Rylee, wow that means that his first day of school will be the start of the camp. That's nice too. The camp will be a good time to make new friends and get to know the class better as well.

Yes, running is a good preparation for the camp. Hope he enjoys it!

Hi Victorian, hope he can adapt to the new environment quickly.
Are u still study in VS or already graduated?

Hi Rylee, I think he'll be ok. I graduated just a few years ago. So if you have any questions about the school, I'll try to help out.

Hi prancingpony, thank you for your kind words! I remember you asked about the secondary 3 subject combination and the secondary 1 orientation camp, and there was a concern about coping with 3 sciences and outdoor activities. How time flies! I think by now, your DS would have already chosen his subject combination for 2012, and will also be going for the secondary 3 camp in March 2012. Exciting things happening!

I hope I can continue to help to answer questions. There have been some new developments like the VCA-IP which affects the COP; that's something new to me too.

Is there any indication that the IP intake of 90 will be increased for future intakes?

Any reason give that the IP intake is so small (90)?

The number 90 didn't appear mystical in anyway to me at all. I guess the reason why the new 7 schools were granted partial IP was because there are generally a significant number of students in every cohort in these schools that are qualified for IP.

My guess is that, from the estimation by MOE and the school, they came to the conclusion that each year there are approximately 90 students in each cohort that have a T-scores of 251-252 or more. Thus they decide to start the IP with 90 students.

Chicken and egg story.
With IP, you attract higher COP students. Naturally, the school's COP will go higher.

4. Cat High (?)
5. Saint Nicholas Girls (?)
6. Anglican High (?)

xin min secondary school, zhong hua secondary school, Temasek secondary etc…I am quite sure every secondary schools will have some good students.


I was curious how future students source will be divided among the top JCs. Definitely, we are in the midst of a significant change. Clearly, after the new 7 IP schools, a large chunk of good O level candidates will be taken out from competing into NJC, VJC, TJC and even RJC and HCI will not get alot of extra J1 intakes. So…I see that, in future, good students are more widely spreadout than they have been in the past.
