Just wondering, for appeal, the child's grade must still be within the COP is it? This COP is based on the 2020 one or they will come up with a new set of COP based on 2021 posting when looking at appeal applications?

It should be the same like past years, meet cop then can appeal, and cop is based on the new one that will be released along with posting results in dec 2021.

Thank you. Thinking of applying to TJC (COP 9) with AL 10. not sure if will be ok. Any thoughts on applying to schools with one point off COP?

Hi, my daughter is in P6 this year and she is very interested in science. Can I ask if Cedar Girls has any dedicated science/STEM/maths like enrichment classes or talent development program? If so, is it opened to non-DSA students? Do the students get training for Olympiad, or be selected to participate in Olympiads? I tried to check the website but cannot really find anything relevant, so would like to check if anyone already in the school is able to help. Thanks in advance.

I saw this in Cedar Girls website under Talent Development for Science. Can check out this link: https://cedargirlssec.moe.edu.sg/our-curriculum/talent-development-td/sciences

Thanks, I saw that after I posted this message but it doesn't say much about how to get in, so I emailed the school. Waiting for their reply. Thanks!

My daughter got CO to SOTA, and WL to SCGS. She is sure to select one of them, so all discussion is SOTA vs SCGS in our home.

Has your girl chosen her school yet? My girl has 2 in mind but there are 6 choices so we will need to also spend time to see the e-open houses and explore transport options to fill up the remaining 4 choices. Once the results are out, I think we only have 6 days to fill up the posting form? So best to plan early too.

Congrats! I am looking at SCGS as one of the choices too, but my girl doesn't like the uniform...I am an old girl of SC, so trying to convince her that the uniform is very suitable for the hot weather 😋

Agree, very difficult to do anything.

We are planning on having our DD do things like:
1. Independent shopping at wet market, malls. She already shops at the HDB shops
2. We are Indians, so we want her to independently shop at the Deepawali market at Little India
3. Independent cycling
4. Independent money withdrawal of money from ATM
5. Independent bus/MRT travel to her prospective schools
6. Laundry, all aspects like washing clothes, folding, ironing
7. Household jobs like washing dishes, sweeping and mopping the floor
8. Cooking meals independently for everyone in the house
9. She reads and reads and reads, so that's one thing. Loves going to the library

Our DD does a lot of these things in parts, and other kids may already be doing these stuff, but we want her to mindfully do the above items. Once secondary school starts, it will be more difficult to plan and do these activities.

Of course, we plan some things as family also, so that's also there. Open to other suggestions.

Seriously, I think you guys should all be awarded some Singapore Math Award for linking t-scores to al scores. The math is so chim that I have a hard time trying to follow. Until we realise there is no exact relationship and whatever we are doing is just making conjectures. Well anyway, good job, folks. I'll just wait for the actual results.

Now, whose kids are actually doing something besides being on that playstation or xbox? It's hard to think of anything else for them to do in this pandemic.

Ikr! My elder child is post-PSLE, my p4 child has no exams, so both happily looking at YouTube or Roblox.... Looking at staycation to reward my girl for trying her best for the PSLE but that won't span the whole remaining months of the year! Just looking at some craft/STEM kits to keep them busy and get their eyes off the devices!

Just curious, is there like a AL cut off for IP stream (like how there is one for express or normal stream) or is it just based on whether you meet the COP for the particular IP school you are looking at?


Approximately how many % of students per year make it to IP/IB or specialised schools and so avoid the O level track?

Lol, my p4 girl is having exams end October so my P6 is supposed to teach her. Not sure how that will turn out.


I got some craft sets for my P6 to do. You can build houses, cafes etc using the materials given. Each thing she has to assemble, like let's say a miniature chair, she needs to glue the seat to the backing and if there's cushion, she needs to cut out from the fabrics provided and glue the cushion to the chair. Then glue the legs as well. Same for the other furniture. One time she had to make books and each required her to cut out small pieces of paper to glue together. Keeps her occupied for days. Not sure if I can post the URL here but pm me if you want to know the website.

Or else can look into some post PSLE virtual camps? 🤷🏻‍️ Or art classes or something.

Wish list for MOE is if they can provide the percentage of students per AL band for each school. Then no need to guess or think too much since from there, one can calculate the probability of getting into the school.

Ah, but you are forgetting this is the first year they are doing this Only simulated data. No real data.

In any case, even if the data exist, do you think MOE will release it? No... all schools are good schools... so no need to compare

Lol! Even stimulated data would be good!
