      This year cut off is 240 but Mr Lee did mentioned even at 235 you should put cat high as 1st choice :evil:


      DS didn't score high enough to continue with Cat High, he certainly gonna miss his sch 😒

      Oh, so the affiliated COP has been made known to the boys before they submit their choice of sec schools. Wonder if it will remain at 240 next year..

      Sorry to hear about your DS' case. Maybe you can place CHS as 1st choice and appeal after posting results is out ? Was your DS in any aesthetics or sports CCA, which may be helpful in his appeal later ?

      Thanks, don't intend to appeal since the gap is so far apart. DS took up dance and the team won a gold. He was awarded service award as well but i'm not sure what is that :scratchhead:

      So for those who are preparing psle next year, good luck cos every points counts :salute:

      Kuo Chuan Presbyterian VS St Gabriels


      Hi anyone has any views on the above 2 schools?

      Can't seem to find any info on KCPS academic performance, not in their school website either.
      You can refer page G-2 Sec sch admission booklet.
      St Gabriels looks impressive πŸ˜‰

    • RE: With 194... should DD choose Normal Acad or Express?

      obiwanmum:
      hi all,


      DD got 194. Got As in Eng & Chinese. But D in Math and C in Science. It doesn't show, but we feel she's quite demoralised. 😒

      MOE gave her option for Express or N(A).

      Looking at a few schools with N(A) eg. Anderson, AMK Sec, BPGH, Chung Cheng (Yishun), Kranji Sec. Based on past year COP, she can get in these schools for N(A).

      We stay in Woodlands.

      Question is...

      Should we choose
      1) the above N(A) schools OR
      2) the Express stream schools near our area (eg. Admiralty, Canberra, Marsiling, etc) which has COP within her reach.

      Appreciate advice...

      TQ
      Hi Obiwanmum

      I've the same issues as you & wonder whats right or wrong in our final choices.
      Most of my friends , relatives suggested to go for express instead of wasting another year in NA.

      I will suggest you to shortlist those high possible schools (express) & do some read up on the school performance. It may not be easy getting feedback for those schools over here, you may need to google for more info.

    • RE: Express or Normal Academic

      rains:
      Hi parents,


      I just want to offer my two-cents:

      If your kid gets to choose express/normal academic, do try to choose express even if the school is not so fantastic.
      Hi Rain

      Thanks for the advice, i'm actually having deep tots for the past 2 days. Normal or express :frustrated: Only issues is not much choices in bishan area if we opt for express having said that we would give it a shot :xedfingers:

      [quote=\"xavnme\"]Any feedbacks on Bishan Park, Whitley, Guang Yang? My DS score 195 and sadly won't be able to continue with Cat High. He has a choice of Express or NA & we are deciding which works well with him.


      Will appreciate some feedback on the above school.

      Cheers

      We are a stone throw away from whitley sec and logically that is a ideal choice however we are discourage by so many surrounding friends, resident to consider them. Would like to hear your feedback (if any) on why everyone is avoiding whitley? :sick:

      Base on my DS results @ 195, we've somehow decided the below choices, would love to hear your feedback on our selection.

      1 Pierce Sec - express 212-230 * 17 points gap
      2 Bishan Park - express 188-239
      3 Whitley - express 188 - 245
      4 Guang Yang express - 197 -225 * 2 points gap
      5 NA
      6 NA

      For 5 & 6 we will just fill in any:)

      We've spoken to the principle from Pierce but she don't think my DS will qualify base on his score. *Option is to take up Normal :faint:

      As for Bishan Park, its just a decent schools with very committed teachers & PSG. Spoken to most of them and students too.

      Sneak in Whitley, only manage to speak to admin staff. Not much information being shared with us.

      Guang Yang- errrr all of us don't feel good the moment we steps in. Its probably us so no offence to current GY peers

      We are still thinking hard should we go for normal and opt for pierce or stay on with express and hope for the best???

      DS wanted pierce badly as lot's of his ex sch mates from Cat high are flooding there.

      We are lost!!!! :slapshead:

      best if can get into Pierce cos it's very impt to hv emotional support from peers from CHPS. but its COP seems quite high, unless you're willing to let kid go to NA, so it's like giving sonny 1 extra yr to do his O's -> less pressure?
      Also, Peirce's got no historical baggage compared to Whitley which was founded in the 60s so over the years, there's a 'reputation' built already. Achievements of Peirce are very impressive. θΏ‘ζœ±θ€…θ΅€γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚

      But u staying next to Whitley should know the demographics better than any of your friends and neighbours, no? Perhaps it's a blessing that it's that near to your home? Ur son cannot loiter too long after sch hrs; even if he does, you can go to sch to 'catch' him back πŸ™‚ He can also come home to take his lunch before the afternoon remedials, invite his classmates to your home so you can see whom he is mixing around with??

      Guangyang seems to be suitable but u dun like... Otherwise, you hv to look at AMK schs liao, e.g. Deyi Sec but COP higher than 200 too. ACS Baker might be risky though COP below 200. SJI got NA stream?[/quote]Thanks for the input:)
