Yes, bullying happen in top good schools too. My friend’s son in SJI got bullied by the upper secondary too and it is not one-time.


Ask your DS not to be alone at all times. When the bully approaches him again, ask his friend to look out his name too so you have a witness. Then go to General Office and ask for Discipline Master straightaway, not Form Teacher.

Comfort and be there for him.

Yes, his son got in via Appeal. So the cut-off point does not include those who appealed. Another friend got 242 unable to get in yet 241 can get in via appeal.


Thanks for the info anyway.

Hey all, MOE has just released the cut-off points of secondary schools and JCs in the latest posting exercise. I have arranged the schools by order of their COPs for easy reference. Hope this helps in your secondary school selection and planning.


Some interesting facts pointed out -- A distinction in Higher Mother Tongue (HMT) will grant 3 bonus points for entry into Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools; Merit = 2 points and Pass = 1 point. SAP schools tend to put more emphasis on the Chinese language and Chinese cultural education. There are 11 SAP schools as follows:
Nanyang Girls' High
Hwa Chong Institution
Dunman High
River Valley High
St Nicholas Girls'
Catholic High
Nan Hua High
Anglican High
Nan Chiau High
Chung Cheng High
Maris Stella High
(MOE has not stated if the cut-off points of these SAP schools are inclusive of HMT bonus points. Could somebody help to clarify?)

Do let me know if there are any errors in the compilation so that I can amend them. Thanks!

FYI, St. Joseph Institution cut-off lowest at 241, not 242 as my friend's son got in at that score.
