Thank you very much

May I ask if anyone knows which the last date is for accepting/rejecting NUSH CO?

Hello daddies and mummies, does anyone know how gep school posting works, as in how a school decides whether to accept a student into their gep programme? Is it based on (gep tests scores), distance between home and school, or P3 exam results?

Thanks

Anyone offered 3rd language (jap, German, French, Spanish) with tscore lower than 252? I am trying to find out what’s the cut off tscore for top 10% this year. It’s said to be 255 last year.

I am already a year too late in doing this. My ds is already in DHS. My sister's Ds is taking psle this year so I am trying to finish my 'unfinished biz' hoping to help her make a good decision..

In a way, I am hoping to get some reassurance knowing DHS's IP program is solid. I don't hv that confidence now. I feel DHS lack of a certain school spirit which motivates students (in general) to want to soar, to make DHS the best. I say this because I feel my boy is rather relaxed in his school life even thou he joins everything he cld join as a Y1 student. Yet he is above average in his academics. I was hoping to put him in a school where the school environment will push him to excel. Or he will feel such stiff competition that he will automatically become more on the ball. He strives best under pressure and stiff competition. I wonder if the lack of competitiveness and go-getter spirit has to do with DHS being co-ed. I am guessing, like maybe, after all boys and girls care more about their image in front of the opposite sex and don't want to appear too kiasu, or the boys r trying to be cool.
I hope people on this thread don't take offense to the things I say

Thanks Augmum, your ‘rough idea’ gives me reassurance!!

You know, I wonder, how VJC will fair in A level results when their first batch of IP finishes A levels! If by then, VJC 's A level results is still better than DHS’s, I will be really impressed with VJC! Because, if it generally basically would have transform a batch of students with lower psle tscores than DHS to become a batch of students with better A level results, it’s great. Yes I know there will still be the good JAE students factor (if they will still be taking in), but I believe these will become minority compared to their own IP students by then?
And if this really happens, I will really think there is something not v strong about DHS’s IP program…
My point is, u see, students who went into nygs ri rgs hci, they went in as tops and finished A levels still as tops in general. In a way, their systems are proven. Whether it’s academic or the way the schools nurture those good students in their overall development and positive go-go-get-it mindset which in the end land them still as tops. I am very impressed.

Any one has experience with Raffles Montesorri kindergarten at Stangee Road (Still Road)? I can’t seem to find any reviews on this school. Heard that it previously was a childcare center. Management undergone some changes a few years ago. Anyone has children in this school, care to share?

Thanks phtthp! I am so in need to discuss this with someone!

Agree on your point A! So NJC VJC will continue to accept good JAE students, while DHS does not…
On your point B, I know what you are saying, but don’t quite agree, cos those problems such as low tscore of dsa students, bad time management, play too much computer, over commitment in cca, can’t cope w IP, family background issues… actually applies to all students similarly. So I wouldn’t consider this point, unless we are saying DHS students are MORE PRONE TO such problems?! No la, can’t be right? If DHS students really indeed are MORE PRONE TO such problems, then I will be very worried about putting my child there

Not sure, that’s why I am hoping to find out!

By right if there is nothing wrong with DHS’s IP program, DHS Should rank number THREE in A level performance. I am assuming that the same batch of good students who entered DHS S1 with the FIFTH HIGHEST PSLE COP in the country, will emerge just as good (only after nygs, to, rgs, hci).
Vic’s IP is not proven. Their first batch of IP has not finished A levels yet. Njc I don’t know, should be on par with DHS, again, I am using their psle cop as a gauge.

Another way of putting my point across is: since DHS received a batch of S1 students who did better in psle compared to say Vic (on average, based on psle cop), at the end of 6 years, I would expect DHS’s A level performance is better than Vjc’s IP batch. If not, then something is not good enough about DHS’s IP program, or maybe namely the year 5 & 6 program.

Does this make sense?

Still, I wish I know where DHS stands in terms of A level performance!

How do we know how DHS fairs in terms of A level performance? When searching for A level performance school ranking, I found that DHS is always being left out! All the JCs are listed by ranking but there is no DHS! I believe DHS should rank number 3, after RJC and HCI, since by PSLE cop it’s ranked number 5, after nygs, ri, rgs & hci?


At the moment, the ranking goes: RJC, hci, njc, Vjc, …
Where does Dhs stand?

Maybe Moe should change the status of Dhs from being a secondary school to a junior college
