PSLE COP 2009

phankao:

It's not an IP school, so I wouldn't expect that sort of score , like 257.

Besides the fact that it is not IP school, students from its affliated primary school can enter the school at very low PSLE scores, something like COP minus 30 (or 50? can't remember exact figure). In this case, for students who get above 250, they will be studying together with students who are much weaker than them. Hence no reason for its COP to be high.

For their own girls, so long as they get pass 200, they have a place

There have been some some talks that the new principal wanted to raise it to 220 or something like that but some parents who are old girls refused for obvious reason

Actually they should raise the score to attract better students. Even getting into SJI needs 238 (affination).

The standard of a school depends very much on the quality of their student intake. Anyone knows what is the ratio of girls in SCGS who are from their affliated primary school? and how is their O Level performance? which band?

Affliations should be scrapped. Period. In Meritocracy society , this is unacceptable...

Band 1 for quite a number of years. Amazing!

Hi Vito, thanks for bringing the topic back on track, but I was wondering why you mentioned SCGS' COP all of a sudden? :? SCGS' COP is already updated as 251 and listed on Page 1, so I did not see any need to update anything.

Just random pick to get the topic back to where you wanna it to be lah ...

Ok, MGS 250

just wondering, since scgs and rv have the same cutoff 251, wat's the reason for the girls in scgs not moving to ip program in rv? other than distance? girls' school? prestige? :?


ermm, i dont mean rv is less prestigious. just that diff folks view prestige differently.

I think garmen (or was it MOE) has stopped more schools from offering IP programs. Rationale is that they want IP programs to be offered only to the top 10% of the cohort.

If MOE dont freeze it, then by the time this year P1 students (only 39,000 against 48,500 for 2009 PSLE) reach PSLE, everyone will be doing IP program.
