starlight1968sg:Perhaps ranking based on the % of students enter to the local U would be a better way to define BEST ?that would exclude good students that went overseas either on scholarship or own fundings

ManU123:Temasek is most famous for producing pretty and outstanding actresses:1. Wong Lilin2. Ivy Lee3. Magdalene Chu4. Joanne Peh (head prefect at Temasek)HHHAAA.... actually there are more but during the SBC era academic >> they take in PRC and ASEAN scholars, hence it should not be that bad afterallCCA >> canoe , shooting, chinese orchestrathe school focus on building students leadership, there are many opportunities for the student to become a leader within and outside of the classroom.from another thread, a parent complained about the school abit rundown, old tables and chairs and spoilt toilet door ... my niece told me the school is changing the chairs/tables .... so should be ok when new term starts.

Hi, I graduated from Ang Mo Kio Sec and I think I have benefitted from the school's programme .Ang Mo Kio has slipped abit last year, but nonetheless, it says alot about a school, when the taking in students with a lower COP than PHS, that it has consistently produce results better or on par with PHS. In 2010, Ang Mo Kio was ranked Band 4 in Express Stream, while PHS was ranked band 5. you can check out the MOE source in 2010 :http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/files/2010/moa-annex-e1.pdfBefore the school achievement table was introduced, Ang Mo Kio was ranked the best non-autonomous school in whole singapore, which is makes it the best government school. Now, MOE had already do away with this. Check sources:http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/1997/pr03097_print.htmhttp://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2000/pr05082000.htmIf you are saying about Character Education, AMKSS focus alot on character development as well. It is through the school education system, that I really come into interacting with the senior citizens and having a strong sense of giving back to the community.Just my point of sharing. Hope it helps and all the best!

phtthp:past few years - St Nick has been top of all the Secondary schools for O level results.St Nicks has produced the top scorer for O level results, as their students take 9 subjects, and with a 3rd language or an elective, they're capable of having students who take 10 subjects. However, hardly any students in Cedar take 10 subjects or even 9. For mean L1R5, which indicates the general performance of the whole school, Cedar has produced better results. For 2010 O levels, Cedar's MSG is 9.5, second to SCGS. Not sure what SNGS's MSG is.
