Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

[Jovialcho]

With quite small cohort every year, NUS high is a tsunami against big R giants ; great to hear that…

naggo-nitemare, is your son in the team?

No he isn't. His friends are though.

Have a feeling that many boys who like or were good in math & science when in primary school, changed to like humanity subjects after 1~2 years study in RI, wonder why???

I have no son in RI, but would like to comment. I think many students, both boys and girls, develop a greater interest in humanities as they grow older. The reason is likely that the appreciation of humanities requires greater maturity and critical thinking skills which develop faster in the teen years.

The prize presentation for SJCHO was conducted yesterday at biopolis. RI is the top team with 54 medalists, NUSHigh is 2nd with 51 medalists (which is really impressive considering the smaller cohort size) and HCI is 3rd with only 15 medalists.


The top 3 individuals for Theory are RI pupils.

Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to the science department for a job well done in guiding these RI boys in their chemistry pursuits!

Congrats to All the winners!! :rahrah: :rahrah:

ds oso got a gold..

Agree with slmkhoo. For some maybe also because subjects like Literature & History are formally introduced only in secondary schools?

Hi slmkhoo & seaglass, thanks for enlighten me, now I have some clue to explore…

[snowlotus]

Hi,

Any idea for science subjects, all year 2 students are studing the same topics at the same time or different time, eg. some classes study chem & phy in the 1st half of this year and bio in the 2nd half of this year, but some classes do vise versa?
