In terms of the GCE \"O\" Level result, Dunman Secondary School is the top secondary school in the Tampines and Pasr Ris area combined. This piece of information was shared by the school principal during the meet the parents session earlier this year.

The Principal also showed info that most of their students end up in Poly and not the JCs after O levels. They seem to be more pro poly like the other neighbourhood schools.

In terms of new facilities, Ngee Ann Sec, Dunman Sec and Chung Cheng have underwent MOE PRIME renovations. Both Tanjong Katong have same facilities since the 90s.

[quote=\"WeiHan\"]BPGHS should maybe in time become a SAP school. I have watch this year National Science Challenge in TCS5 and the boys from BPG perform extremely well and is the first school to get into the finals beating school like NUSHS in episode 5.

And BPGHS is the overall champion for this year NJRC 09 (National Junior Robotic Compeition). So they got to go Japan end of this year.

awesome better than fuhua??[/quote]There are upper secondary PRC scholars in their team. 3-5 students in team might not be representative. Nevertheless, a good school still.

anyone with successful appeal to VS please post

My nephew got offered VS but turned it down because his appeal at another school went through. So there will surely be some places available later if there are more cases like him....

Yes. Apparently, many parents put in multiple appeals. That complicate matters for those still waiting! Hopefully, these schools will give parents a deadline to accept the appeal success and if they do not accept, school should quickly offer to the next in line!

Good luck to all those waiting.

[quote=\"777\"]Anyone successfully appeal to commonwealth? called the school, was told that my DD is still on the waiting list.

My dd successfully appeal to commonwealth

Congrats! What is your dd tscore?[/quote]My neighbour told me her son got into Commonwealth Sec on appeal. 12 points below cut off. He is a cub scout with lots of awards! Looks like CCA does matter in appeals.

Anything more than 3 points off a school’s COP is highly unlikely, so I would agree as well.[/quote][/quote]Fairfield has very few non affiliated students. Inflated COP.

Many schools with affiliation are getting less affiliates as they have cut of points for their affiliated schools. Schools like Catholic High, Maris Stella, CHIJ (TP), Ngee Ann, and for the first time this year Katong Convent. These schools have less affiliated students so the COP is quite accurate. Rather, schools like St Hilda’s Sec, Fairfield Methodist have no COP for their affiliates and have abt 80% students from their Pri school.

A better tomorrow:

According to the students there, 5 express, 2 NA and 1 NT class .Which class is yr dd in ?

They used to to have more Express and less Normal classes. What happened?

A better tomorrow:
