Hi My son is from VS. In sec1 he has a friend who stays in Yishun whose dad send him to school every morning and he goes home by bus. Once when he came over to my house (which is in the East) for project I asked why not Anderson since it is a very school (band1) and very strong in Math and science. He said VS is more prestigious. But so much problems when come to project works, in the end lots of clashes between the boys as he want to meet in central library or get the group to go over his place (yishun!!) when majorith of them stay in East or hougang area. Last I heard this year, he is one of the bottom students in the class. So please think carefully as distance is very very very important. In VS lots of projects are graded as they are trying to prepare them for A level in which projects are graded. Hope this help you in making a decision. Really long reply but this is really personal experience......

thanks a ton .. apprecaite it sincerely. it has been tough.
Indeed, the distance has been my concern also!!! In the end, if we get VS, we are thinking to move closer to the school. Any idea about SJI? although I am not catholic, I do not mind my son going there..all I want is a good school for him..!

Millicent:

You may wish to consider Xinmin Secondary School which is located in Hougang Ave 8/North zone (quite near Rosyth School) as one of your 6 choices. The school's current aggregate range is 240 to 262, mean is 245. It is a premier autonomous school providing excellent holistic education. The school received the School Excellence Award more than 4 years ago. My son scored 252 in 2008 PSLE and I must say I made the right decision in choosing Xinmin for him. Take a look at the school website and visit the school's open house today.

thanks a million.. \"Millicent\". sincerely, appreciate it... ! I will check the website and see if I can attend the open-house today with my son.
BTW, any opinion on his chances to ACS(I), Victoria for instance ..?

thank you ..

Thank you yongjianrong ! thanks once again for this..


ACS(I) cut-off is 251 which worries me. that is 5 points higher..

how much RV would be for this year ..? Confused..confused.. :?:

Hmm, last year RV COP was 251 too. RV is one of the preferred secondary schools in my class.

Just a side note, RV only offers Chinese and Higher Mother Tongue is compulsory.

On the other hand, ACS offers Chinese/Malay/Tamil.

Thank you so much.. what should be the choice of schools you think..i.e how many points should I keep higher than my sons COP .. i.e. 2 points, 3 points or 5 points ..?

Thank you yongjianrong ! thanks once again for this..
