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

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.

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:

Any parents out there from Bishan Park & Whitley able to advice the school study environment, general behavior?


Thanks
