CCKSS - old building.


My girl's maths tutor said the students there are studious & hardworking. Though I see quite a no. of Malays there.

Please elaborate what you mean by your last statement. I hope you are not making a stereo-type comment with racial prejudicial statement.

[quote]My girl prefers CGS over NHH (think she still very disturbed about the plaiting her hair). How about Commonwealth & Swiss Cottage? Are they good?[/quote]
Commonwealth is decent. Its campus looks clean and neat. Principle is humble. One minus point of CGS is campus is run down[/quote]

Hi,


Need some advise for secondary school in West.
My son PSLE score was 214 and I'm thinking of choosing :-

Choices in order Last year minimum aggregate score
1. Choa Chu Kang 217
2. West Spring 223
3. Westwood 211
4. Zhenghua 210
5. Dunearn 204
6. Greenridge 206

I know my 1st and 2nd choices are risky but I'm more concern on my 3rd and 4th choices order. Expected him to get the 3rd or 4th choices.
Can anyone assist me in my 3rd and 4th choices order?
I went to both school open house today, and was please with Zhenghua, looks more lively in the school if compare to Westwood as Westwood did not shows a lot.
Is there any other secondary school to suggest to me.
I'm staying in Chua Chu Kang.

Appreciate any advices, comments and recommendation.

Hi,I recommend u put unity sec sch as ur second choice.E risk will not b as high as West Spring,which needs a score of 223.Unity sec sch score is 221,making it easier 2 enter 4 ur child.

Not racist

If take HMT in chinese, need to communicate with peers for improvement & upgrade since more & more emphasis & importance given to oral aspect.

In fact, my 2nd choice sch is 50% malays, I feel.

Hello

I am also choosing sch for my girl. I stay at CCK.

Teck Whye, Greenridge & Regent --> No No

Tanglin - someone told me the incident about porn movie is this sch & the principal didn't handle properly.

Dunearn, Shuqun, Kent Ridge - okay.

You may like to add Yuhua. This is my 6th choice coz it does not have higher chinese.

Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it.

Why Greenridge Sec Sch 'No', today went open house quite ok actually thought of 1st choice - Greenridge 2nd choice Durearn
Anyone can comment about Assumption English School located at Bukit Timah??

Greenridge has many committed teachers and responsible principal. School has been renovated and performance rising every year. Must consider! :roll:

Hi,


Urgently need advice.

My child scored 207 in the PSLE and I was looking at a school in the West. Some advised me to go for N(A) in a good school. Any advice?

I was looking at Kent Ridge and Tanglin Sec. How are these two schools in terms of academic achievement and character development?

I heard Kent Ridge has police case(s) recently in 2009, does anyone has any idea what is this all about?

Anything good and bad about these two schools?

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
JPGM

Hi, my child also scored 207 for PSLE. I also thought of opting N(A), checked with MOE, they said 'Not Possible'.
Even with the report from speech therapist (my child had some learning diffculties). Now considering Greenridge/Dunearn/Shuqun/Yuhua/Kent Ridge/Jurongville.
