Always thought that wayang starts from corporate world only. Now it has started much earlier.


Youngsters nowadays are better equipped to face the reality of working world and won’t get a shock at seeing the 爾虞我诈 prevalent there.

This is the kind of "exposure" I didn’t get during my studying years…perhaps it’s not that bad to expose the kids to the real world out there.

It’s really important to keep the channel of communication open between us and the child, esp. during the teenage years. To get them to gladly share with us what’s happening at school.


The youngsters of today are very different from my times, even the stories my P6 girl tells me nowadays are quite incredulous.

Cedar Girls open house will be on 30 May. That’s what I am being told. But no news on their website yet.


So best to check first before going down.

Have asked 2 girls schools for their intake of O and IP students. Both are equal in terms of the number of O and IP track classes (Cedar & SCGS).

Hi mummyv - Yes thanks. Understand what you mean.

For my case even worse, I am just the eunuch, the \"real stakeholder\" still in dreamland......

From what I know, for Sec 1 IP classes, the girls are grouped by PSLE scores with a mixture of affiliated and non-affiliated girls in the same class but not sure whether it is the same for Sec 1 'O' Level classes.

Thanks for your advice

MMM - Thanks


I am sure your girl is enjoying her learning journey at CGS

Tks everyone for your advice will find out more from individual schools their intake of IP and O Level, if they are willing to disclose. Will also update of I manage to get some prelim stats

Would like to seek some advice from parents with kids in O level track in a dual track IP school.


It used to be that IP schools only offer 1 track, i.e. IP. So all kids are in the same track. However, now we have more schools which offer dual tracks of IP and O level. We often see this as positive since students can switch easily between the 2 tracks depending on their academic progression.

However, it is also quite clear which track has a higher COP. My concern is, if my child can only qualify for the O level track of an IP school, should I put her in that IP school or another school with similar COP, but everyone is taking O level and thus, more \"equal\"?

The reason for my reservation is that my child is currently already facing the different \"labelling\" in her primary school. The GEP kids in her school are often given more opportunities (no offence to parents with GEP kids), and this is quite common even during occasions like P5 camp and intermingling class. Even though they are just primary school kids, they can already feel and sense the \"differentiation\".

I myself came from a SAP school. During then there were still 2 streams of Special and Express. The 1 class of \"Express\" students were often marginalised and teachers do treat them, differently.

Kids nowadays are even more sensitive and aware of the often not subtle labelling being placed on them.

Welcome any frank sharing of experience from parents Please also feel free to drop me a pm if you think it's better to discuss that way.

:thankyou:
