Ok.Thanks for reply. For the subject combinations, my dd need submit her choices during Jul 13. They need to submit again on Nov 13 as well. If Nov 13 is different with Jul 13, how is the school arrange for these ? Please advise. Thanks a lot.
To add on - is it necessary to have studied a particular science in order to do it in Yrs 5 & 6? Eg. if my daughter doesn't take Bio in Yrs 3 & 4, can she take it in Yrs 5 & 6? -

Glad to hear your dd's settling in and enjoying herself. She has some ex-schoolmates from primary school with her too, I'm sure? -

Thanks - what about Geography or History? Can she take one of them in yrs 5 & 6 if didn't take it in Yrs 3 & 4? She isn't sure which science to drop if she chooses only 2 sciences, but she also doesn't want to lose the option to take Geog/Hist, and she definitely wants to continue with Lit. I wish they wouldn't make kids make this sort of decision at 14yo.You need to have studied that particular science to take it in Years 5/6.

No, she doesn't know anyone from her Pr school in RGS, and in any case, she didn't make many friends in P6 as she was only there for 3 mths. She's really starting from scratch. -
You don’t need to have studied history nor geog to take either up at Year 5/6. Unlike the sciences. Has the school given the girls a briefing on subject combination already? If yes, your dd may have missed it.

Why triple science has more classes than the other subject combinations? any particular reasons? in terms entry to local or overseas university?

Because it's more popular. It has no bearing on entry to uni bec you can only do 2 sci at JC anyway. -

There was a briefing which we missed last term, but we saw the slides. It was more about the process rather than the link to choices at Yr 5 & 6, I think. I believe there will be another one given by someone from RI at some point. -

They take the most updated one, which is Nov 13. I think there's another round on Nov 13 for accommodating last minute changes, and also RA/EYA results and stuff would be out by then, and some might want to change their combis based on that. -

No worries! The school has many years of experience dealing with subject combi......the Nov 13 is more critical due to RA, some girls are qualified between 2-4 RA subjects etc. hence still got time to change on Nov 13! :xedfingers:
