St Nicholas Girls' School student, Chia Pei Yun, 16 is the top 'O' level student in Singapore.

CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School (SNGS) has produced the top O-level student three years in a row.

SNGS student Chia Pei Yun topped the nation with a score of 10 A1s.

Her seniors also managed the same feat in previous years: Lai Kai Rou scored Haw Sue Hern both scored 10 A1s in 2010 and 2009 respectively.

The release of the O-level results on Monday saw little change in the overall performance of students islandwide.

Nearly all - 99.8 per cent - of the 37,655 students who took the exams last year scored at least one O-level pass.

Of these, the vast majority - 35,753, or 94.9 per cent - had three or more O-level passes.
