      good question, i will like to know too.
      if anyone can also answer, why would you choose o level in st nicks (cop 253) when you can qualify for scgs ip (cop 252)?
      bearing in mind if the child wants to transfer to st nicks ip in sec 3(from o levels)
      School fees exp and dont like EJC are probably the main reasons.
      With very good O result coming from St Nicks , have more options and can choose better JCs.

      Hi..DS will be getting his O lvl results soon and we are looking ard for schools.. Can I know the sch culture of Anderson Serangoon JC?
      Heard ASRJC standard has dropped tremendously.
      Its uas is 77.3.
      possible reasons:
      - well known as mugger college yes, but quality of teaching by teachers questionable
      - students just mug n mug but mug wrongly( maybe pure memorise method ?)
      With merger, standard at risk.

      @winsomeloosesome

      Sure. If you think that a difference of 1.2 pts is not on par.... so shall we say Ejc uas is around the same as vjc?

      Btw, you do know that the vjc cohort’s COP was 5 and that of EJC’s was 9 which is a difference of 4 pts. But yet EJC’s UAS was able to achieve a UAS that is around that of VJC’s?

      Would you not give credit for that?
      Ejc uas around same as Vjc- its not up to me to decide, you have to ask/seek other main ksp parents here to agree on this.
      Ofc, many Ejc parents here.

      Ejc cohort cop of 9 consisted of minority of jae students whilst majority (> 50%) from 3 IP secs.

      If your child is aiming for ri/hci, then go OP. Otherwise just go IP. You get to save on worrying about o level and get to go to a good college with s spanking modern campus which is on par with vj and nj

      May I know your ' on par with VJ and NJ ' meaning? Campus or academic results?

      No. Not campus. Both vj and nj campus are quite run down in my opinion especially vjc Which is more than 20 years old

      More from a UAS angle

      Ejc mean uas is 82.4
      Vjc mean uas is 83.7
      Njc median uas is 84.4. Median is typically a couple of points higher than mean. Hence Njc mean uas should be around 82.x

      Thats why i say they are on par[/quote]Correction VJC uas is 83.6. By comparison, VJ still better.
      Yes, NJC is dropping in standard and EJC maybe on par with NJ.

      From MOE FAQ
      My elder child is studying in a secondary school which is affiliated to my primary school of choice. Can I register my younger child during Phase 1 of the Primary One (P1) Registration Exercise ?
      Answer:
      Phase 1 is for a child whose sibling (brother or sister) is currently studying in the primary school of choice.

      Parents may register their child in the next phase that their child is eligible for. More information on Phase and Eligibility is available here.
      Go to Primary One Registration webpage

      For full school like Maris Stella, if elder brother is in Maris Secondary section, his younger brother can enjoy P1 registration. If not mistaken, there are only 5 full schools in Singapore... they have the same principal for both primary and Secondary Section

      For example
      CHIJ St Nick
      Maris Stella

      For those in full school, next time your grandson can enjoy at the P1 registration also 🤪

      Yes, Tuppkids, correct

      The entire Singapore, there are only 5 Full schools.

      a) Full schools, can study for next 10 years (P1 to Sec 4), if able to meet the Affliation Cut-off-point (Psle)

      b) future off-spring can enrol under Phase 2A1 / 2A2, even if attend only the Secondary school, but not the primary school before


      1) Catholic High

      2) Maris Stella


      3) Methodist Girls School

      4) SCGS

      5) St Nick[/quote]Yes, all these Full schools have such adv including enrolling future younger sibling into Pri level even with older sibling in Sec section.
      252 scorers wont mind choosing these Full schs over Cedar sec.

      Results have never been everything, everyone looks at.
      Results may be everything, some people look at.
      Results may be one of the things, everyone looks at.
      But it has never been everything, everyone looks at.
      COP go up and down, a little bit of variation should be ok.

      Anyway for Cedar, their non official feeder schools in the area, could have done better this year, and chose to go to other schools. Or these non official feeder schools, could have done worse, so they ended up in some other schools.

      Other than results as the reason.
      Amongst Cedar,MGS,SCGS,SNG sec OP, all churn out great results esp Cedar.
      People didnt opt Cedar:
      - branding
      - its not a Full School unlike the 3 Girls' schs
      (can enrol own daughters back in Pri level)


      Sorry to ask, cedar branding not as good as MGS, SCGS, SNG , why is that so?[/quote]Branding this word is hard to explain.
      Briefly, the 3 Girls' schs are traditionally 'rich' in culture, strong Alumni/PSG.
      Being a Full Sch win liao too.

      Taking another step further: why didn’t the (‘traditionally’) higher T-scorers choose these schools. Drill-down.

      Also, why Cedar , drop 1 point?
      It produces gd results, seems results not everything people look at now..
      Branding of a school, isnt?

      Why Dunman High drop 1 point ?

      cos those with higher t-scores didn't choose HCI nor DHS, allowing those with lower to get in, thus bringing the COP down

      Why NJC drop 2 points, this year ?

      Maybe due to facilities and some negative review about the Senior High S1 and S2 staff.

      Yup, JC level now acad standard not as good as yrs ago.
