Hello I am helping my domestic helper to look for a new employer.
She has worked for me for almost 6 years, completing her third contract in Dec.

She has a pleasant disposition, soft spoken, able to work independently, does not steal. Able to do simple Chinese meals.

She did general household chores in my house, and helped the other helper look after my demented mother in law, who has recently passed away.

She is Indonesian, a Christian, and is single, 35 yrs old, small sized. Able to handle dogs!

Her salary is currently $840, with 1- 2 weekends off. Extra $30 to compensate for each weekend not worked. This is for working in a landed property, looking after 2 dogs, and a person with advanced dementia.

If you are interested, please contact me and I will arrange for you to interview her. She is available for transfer immediately.

Pl drop me a msg at +65 8764 8157 and I will reply in the evenings.

Tku for your very detailed and informative post!


I am a bit confused. Don't CCHS students get a 2 point affiliation to NYJC? So w CCA and HCL do they get 6 points off?

Another question - do the kids there converse mainly in English or Chinese?

Hi all,


My child has a score of 248, HC +2.

We are torn between AHS and CCH. We stay in Simei, so it takes us 25 mins to get to AHS but an hour to CCH.

May I know what’s the estimate % of CCH students who went on to NYJC? The affliation is very attractive to us. But at the same time, distance and travelling time are a bit discouraging. Can experienced parents in CCH share more information regarding the school pls? Thanks.

1)

If you choose Anglican High (SAP school), is a ditect straight-forward affliation to St Andrew Junior College, in that there is already an affliated A-level JC awaiting you. The path lying ahead of you, is a smooth path


2)

But,
if you choose Chung Cheng High (Main), can be a bumpy rough ride, for some.

What was last year (2019 O-level batch) Cut-off-point into Nanyang Junior College ?

for Science stream : it was 6

from Moe website (source)

https://sis.moe.gov.sg/SchoolDetails.aspx?schoolCode=0805


Under affliation,
this means that maximum,
your L1R5 cannot exceed 10 points, assuming that

you have managed to clear your Higher Chinese successfully, by scoring either an (A1 or A2 or B3) in your Sec 3 O-level (Standard Chinese) bu-hua.

Why 10 points (L1R5) ?

because

a) 2 discount points, off your clearance of O-level (Higher Chinese)


b) 2 discount points, off your clearance in Cca points

However,
bear in mind that not every Sec 4 student will end up with two Cca points. For some, they only scored 1 miserable Cca point.

So, for these students with 1 Cca point, instead of
(10 minus 4 discount points),

they ended up with
(10 minus 3) instead.

So, can these CCH (Main) students go back to their affliated NYJC ?

No

Not for Science stream,
because armed with 7 points, they failed to meet NYJC Science stream Cut-off-point (at 6 points)

Maybe can still go NYJC (Arts stream) with 7 points ?

Yes, cut off was 7, for Arts stream


===========================

Another scenario, to take note of

What happen,
if Sec 3 students scored

(B4 or C5 or C6) in their Sec 3 (O-level Standard Chinese (bu-hua) National exam ?


CCH (Main) school said
No, next year Sec 4,
you got to repeat & re-sit For your O-level bu-hua one more time. Hopefully, you will score a better grade this time round since given a second chance, to help you in your L1R5 admission into JC ...

in case your O-level bu-hua subject turn out to become one of the core subjects used to compute your L1R5, so you need to do well in your bu-hua.

However, they will be barred from taking O-level (Higher Chinese) exam, because they are going to re-take O-level (Standard Chinese).

So, what happen?
Did this group of (B4 / C5 / C6) bu-hua students managed to clear their HCL hurdle obstacle ?

No, they could not
So, they are unable to get 2 discount points off HCL clearance

But,
if they still want to go back to their Affliated NYJC, because they love Nanyang JC so much, what must they score now, in order to go back ?

need 8 points !
No longer just need 10 points


Why 8 ?

because

(8 minus 2 points for Cca clearance equal 6, for NYJC (Science stream )


Is it hard (difficult) or easy, to clinche 8 points in your L1R5 ?

(only yourself, can answer)

==========================

may we ask, is your P6 son or daughter strong in Higher Chinese ?

If No,

would suggest that you choose Anglican High instead, because truth be told, Psle HCL is easy, but Secondary school HCL is tough.

If come here,

And

if your Chinese isn't strong,
unfortunately end up score a
(B4 / C 5 / C6) in O-level bu-hua, barred from taking O-level ( Higher Chinese), you run the risk of missing the precious, valuable 2 discount points clearance in your L1R5, cannot go back to beloved affliated NYJC.



Furthermore,
you also mentioned that Anglican High is very near your house. Isn't this convenient ? Every morning, no need to wake up so early go to school ?


Besides,
does Anglican High, also another SAP school, impose the same identical cornering restriction on this O-level (bu-hua) minimum must score a B3 clearance, before let you sit for O-level (gao-hua) ?

Please go and confirm with Anglican High Chinese Head-of-department. If the answer is No, is obvious, which school to go for.

In stark contrast,
if your child's Chinese is very strong & powerful, by all means, come to Chung Cheng High (Main), since clearing bu-hua (B3 minimum) won't be a stumbling block nor hurdle
