Seems like not many here have applied for Victoria School, Cedar Girls', River Valley, or Dunman High? Don't seem to hear much of these few schools, especially the new IP ones.
We were choosing between NJC and RV since both are about same distance from home. Furthermore both have SBGE not on the MOE list but both have cheap school fees anyway.
Opted for NJC because the COP for S1 is higher for NJC and also class size is smaller. -

Hi Blur Dad,jtoh:
Hi blurdad, if your son's Mandarin conversation skills 'cannot make it', do you think HCI is a wise choice for him?
Hi jtoh
Good question. Attended HCI open house, quite impressive. My son quite \"OK\" with it.
Base on different choices available, not many to choose from. He wants to go to boy's school. So for IP/IB, the choices are RI, HCI and ACSI. His CA1+SA1 result not so good, below 80%, chances to get CO from RI is quite low. As for ACSI, not that easy also, ACSI only takes in 90 boys for DSA to their IB programme. Take into consideration that they have to give priority to ACS(P) and ACS(J) boys. The other choice that should not miss is HCI.
I remember last year that there was one parent feel regarded and had to say sorry to his/her DS for not applying HCI as DS could not get CO from RI. Most of his/her DS's classmate were awarded CO and he is one of the fews who did not get any. So quite a greate impact to him.
You might say that this would encourage DS to work harder for the PSLE and get good result to enter his dream school via S1 posting, I think my DS is not that type and do not wish my DS has to go through this. So should not miss any chance.

understand how you feel. My DS is only in P5 now. I'm already starting to get worry for him. As at now, he still manage to get 80% but in recent SA1, he did not do well for English. Am afraid may drop < 80% by next year. I know he wanted to try RI. So I suggested to him to try RI, HCI & ACI. I thought it's easier for ACI since most boys will choose RI & HCI. I reckon that NUSH is tougher than ACI. -
