U mean they are allowed to go beyond MOE’s recommended class size of 30? I really pity the teacher, need to manage so many young kids who may not be sufficiently socio-emotionally developed yet.[/quote]

For sure SMPS class size exceeds 30. Already checked that they have only 6 classes for 190+ kids

Some schools have really weird odd numbers. More schools than in previous years.

Did anyone find the answer as to WHY???[/quote]

U mean some schools classes with intake 192. They have classes each exceeding 30 kids for p1.

can someone please verify if st margarate's is correctly placed in onemap-> schoolquery?
it still shows location as at Wilkie Road but the school website says it will be at temp location (2 mattar road) until 2022~!

Distance is calculated based on original site. SMPS will move back to Wilkie road in 2023 January. The school has already issued letter to existing parents to confirm this

If I’m 2.08 km away from the school, will I be considered as within 2km or out of 2km?

[quote=SurferGal post_id=1980232 time=1591703141 user_id=185642]CHS's and NYPS>NYGH's affiliation scores are so high, its almost like no affiliation!
And I noticed PLMGS has a -44 discount between affiliated and non affiliated, seems like a very good choice of safety net. 250 for non affiliates, wow! However i've never really paid attention to them, seems like a dark horse and underrated. Never heard people mention them enough.
PLMGS last year score was 205 for affiliates and 237 for non-affiliates. COP has come down a little after 80/20 rule implemented.

You don’t hear much of them because PLMGS (Secondary) isn’t a 250 school. It’s COP is artificially high because they have very little, at times none, places for non-affiliates in the past. They are not better, or worst, than several of the CHIJ schools (which you probably don’t hear much about either).

Thanks for your input! What about St Marg and Fairfeild Methodist? Where do they stand among what tier or reputation they are? St Marg is the oldest school in SG with such illustrious past but why so underrated? Both St Marg and Fairfield Methodist secondary COP are around 240, its not easy to get in![/quote]The COP for SMSS, FMSS and Crescent Girls are roughly the same. SMSS and FMSS take in students from the affiliated primary school at a much discounted COP. So the number of available seats open to students from non affiliated schools is small. However, CGS COP indicates the lowest entry point into the school. In other words, every student in CGS scored at least 240+.

Today I came to urge that the morning singing session should be suspended. Scientists from all over the world agree loud speaking and singing is one of the most harmful activities from all. Specifically if this is done in confined spaces such as a classroom a singer can turn into a superspreader.

There are countless articles from all over the world about the subject. Examples:
https://elemental.medium.com/why-singers-might-be-covid-19-super-spreaders-57607ed71b9b
https://www.businessinsider.com/loud-talking-singing-spread-coronavirus-further-than-6-feet-2020-3
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-06-01/coronavirus-choir-singing-cdc-warning
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e6.htm
https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2020/05/07/church-reopen-sing-masks-service/

Abundant evidence that it is reasonable to suspend this activity for the next months!

Good to bring this up to the school
