BlueBells:

Even if you don't like the school or the school name, there is no need for crude remarks or make fun of the school name in a public forum. Totally uncalled for.

Totally agreed with BlueBells.

南侨中学 was founded by Tan Kah Kee in year 1947. It is an established school with a long history.
Tan Kah Kee, a philanthropist, set up Chinese High School (now HCI) too.

Eventhough is a SAP school but their 'O' level is not impressive. They are not even Band 1 school. Quite sad to say that.


I thought of sending girl to this school even girl says is not even Band 1 and very Chinese. She is not keen eventhough is within Sengkang.

The school was designated as a SAP school from January 2012.
Their first batch of students under the SAP is still in Sec 3.
Give them some space to grow?

I came from a SAP school and the characteristic of a SAP school is its emphasis on 双语文化. So it tends to be 'very chinese'.
But, it is a good influence on the learning of the language.

osim:

...I think all rounder who score more than 85% for GEP exams are disadvantaged at DSA.

Is this true? Don't scare me.

Just to add some facts...
my DD & a few friends score > 85% and received NYGH CO
Her friends who score < 85% received WL

So don't worry about scoring > 85% (this sounds strange )

My DD was active in CCA, took part in UNSW competitions.

psv:

In case, anyone interested to know about SST. They have already sent letters. My son received the CO.

My DD(GEP) just received NYGH CO email ..

Btw, can anyone share where can I find last year COP record? Helping a friend to ask.

Can check via MOE School Information Service :- http://sis.moe.gov.sg

* Choose Search Schools by Criteria
* Choose Secondary Tab
* There is a search criteria for PSLE range

I still do not understand how DSA works?

Examply, got CO in RI/HCI/RGS/NYGS, what T-score must the kids obtain in PSLE? Still above 200 or must be above 250?
If under WL, what must the kids T-score be?
Please enlighten me

MOE site on how DSA works :-
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/dsa-sec/

* DSA CO / WL is not based on PSLE T-Score

* DSA is a process where school choose students based on past school academic performances / CCA / musical or artistic or leadership talents
Refer to NBM's informative thread on the phases
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum ... 48&t=78374

* DSA outcome is known by 29 Aug 2014
* PSLE 2014 ends on 1st Oct 2014
* PSLE results (T-score) will be out End Nov 2014

hope this helps ...
