Yes floopy. You are right. I'm actually referring to the % of students qualifying for JC and Poly. My bad, I rephrased wrongly. :oops:

Try to attend as many open house as you can. Because you will get to see the vibes and strengths of each different school. Some schools are more than willing to share their graduating batches' percentage of going to JC/Polys. I do find this a very important aspect especially for the normal neighbourhood schools.


I remember striking out a school when the principal refused to share their school's latest percentage of their graduates going to JC & Poly (despite parents were asking for it), stating the reason that because MOE in recent years are less focus on grades. So they want to create an environment that is healthy for the students. To each his own.

For me, I want my child to be happy in his learning journey during his secondary years, but I also hope he will be also motivated at the same time to achieve his best to go into higher institution of his choice. Therefore the school's value and the school's goal is very important to me.

I also striked out another school when the school didn't conduct any e-open house in 2020 & 2021. I understand that these 2 years were the most challenging years due to the pandemic. But other schools were able to rise up during the difficult times; to organise e-open houses, how come that particular school unable to do so? This shows a lot on their values, their attitude which will affects how they mould our kids. Needless to say, that particular school showed a drop in their COP (meaning their popularity drop in a year).

Therefore parents, please do attend as many Open House as you can. You may be surprised. Some schools, you may think is ordinary and nothing special but their yearly performance in CCAs / O-levels / N-levels graduating batches will surprise you.
