Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

kiasuson:

As far as I know, RI distributed their students in Sec 1 according to the followings:

1. GEP/Mainstream. This is to enable the teachers to focus and teach the mainstream some topics or things that has been taught to the GEP during their primary school days. According to the teachers, the mainstream will take at least about 6 months to catch up. High T-score PSLE mainstream students can be included in the GEP group as they might be able to catch up with them thru indepedent studies.

2. MT. Some of them will not take Higher MT. They have to group those students together.

3. Sports Class. Due to the competition and training schedule, there are a sports class which requires some special arrangement and attention.

In the third year, those students who do exceptionally well in the subject will be able to study the subject in depth in the RA programe which I believe Fairy's DS is in.
Bear in mind that RI students are mostly from top 5% of the cohort. There are not much gap between the students and it is competitive.

Hi,

No, I think you remembered wrongly :? . My son's not sec3 yet lah. As long as he can get the subject combination that is best for him (ie. not humanities), I'm happy. No aspiration to be in RA. Both my kids are those who like to do what they enjoy most (for my son it's soccer & his hobby); Study is not their top priority. They are not the hardworking type and are not interested to be a TOP. RA may not be suitable for them.
