For 257+2 PSLE T-Score, should my daughter go for RV or NJC? Any opinion or suggestion?
Go NJC and skip the O's. O's is a waste of time. Alternatively, go SCGS and/or MGS to network with rich families. They'll have in job search, career opportunities next time. Unless of coz, you're already well off then she'll already be leading a socialite sorta life next time.Quote:

if your child has what it takes, go for RV. Better to have two certs than just one, it looks much better on the CV to have two certs and some employers overseas look at 'O' levels as well as 'A' levels so in order to save time explaining you are on an acelerated programme blar blar blar, might as well just do 'O' levels and 'A' levels and excel in both.
Bro, understand you are in education industry and mind to share do you know RV's students need to take O level eventhough they are under IP program? Am asking becos my understanding is that IP students need not to take O. Correct me if my understanding is different from fact. Thanks. :)Quote:

So her 2nd choice is RV.
Btw, RV has open house today 830 to 1230.
I am going.
If your kid wants NJC, just apply for it.
If can't get in, can always appeal later as there might be people giving up.
I wish my gal would consider NJC cos it is in the centre and it won't matter where we stay.
RV is all IP, so no need to take O level. Year 6 take A level.Quote:

that's was how my Dad raised me in the past, always getting my opinion at a young age and pushing me to make decisions for myself. so encourage them to make the decision on their own as you guide them along....these decision-making skills go a long way....then next time they will make very good investment decisions! :D
if you want my opinion - NJC or RV? Go read up on the school values, motto, culture etc. Talk to parents about the type of education their children experienced. Which school values strike a chord in your heart most? Is your kid outgoing/studious/sporty etc and what environment fits him/her most?
cheers!:cheers4:
worsty, you should not teach kids to be so materialistic la!!! :D :p :cheers1:Quote:

Btw, I've checked with NJC and was told that they have only left with 100++ vancancies after DSA. NJC 2010 COP was 257 and I assume this year would be marginally higher. Since RV take in large cohert, we think it would be safer for my gal to go for RVH.
Btw, did you watch the performing art after principal speech if you went to RV this morning? We watch and tot it's fantastics!
Thanks.Quote:
